A quick weekend in Asheville
A friend and I stayed here during a weekend of trout fishing, mountain biking, and exploring town. It was an enjoyable stay off the beaten path. The host was friendly and easy to communicate with.

Spring getaway
We enjoyed the spaciousness of our trip Jace and that it was tucked away just outside of town where it was quiet but close by car to anything you wanted to do. Great to have WiFi and had everything we needed. Ashville is a wonderful place and the scenery is excellent in any direction. Loved the RAD district and Biltmore tour and Blue Ridge Parkway.

Wonderful Stay in a Beautiful Loft!
Robert was personable and accommodating. The loft was perfect for my daughter and I. The decor was artistic and tasteful and the amenities were just what we needed. The location was close enough to everything we needed but just far enough to be quiet and in nature. The view of the skies and trees through the windows was amazing. We will definitely choose to stay there again when back in the area.

Loft in the Beech Trees
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. Directions to the loft are clear. The property is spotless. The views from the windows and porch lovely. Quiet location nestled in the woods. Close to town and beyond. So much to explore in the area. Thank you for sharing your space with the public!

Great location. Much needed...quiet and peaceful after the Christmas chaos! Enjoyed the bread left by the host. Unfortunately we missed an opportunity for the glass blowing tour. Maybe we can catch it next time. I would definitely stay here again!

Quiet and Convenient
My wife and I had a great stay at Bob’s artist loft. It was the perfect mix of peace and quiet and great convenience to downtown and the parkway, all the amenities you could need. Extra special, ask Bob about his glass shop and antique convertible.

Cozy Cottage
This was a cozy little place in a great location to Asheville and nearby attractions. It was tucked into a wooded neighborhood which gave that feeling of being in the mountains but still close to the city. Bob was very responsive to our needs. Highly recommend if you are a very small group that likes quiet. Only wish list item would be an outdoor space to sit and enjoy coffee/wine!

Private, wooded neighborhood setting - with nearby services and yet reasonably close to downtown Asheville. Spacious, artsy unit, nicely appointed. Could use a few more dishes and flatware.

Loved our stay especially the location was ideal. Everything that was advertised and more, details like full length mirrors in both bedrooms. Coffee filters would have been nice and some shelves or drawers would have helped although closets wete very adequatel. Highly recommend

Clean and well taken care of!
We loved our stay at the studio loft apartment! It was easy to get to with navigation. Very well taken care of and decorated. It had everything we needed and Bob was very accommodating. The beds were comfortable and the space was just right for two people traveling together that weren't a couple. We will be booking again very soon!

It is a very clean, quiet setting. Owners are very nice. The setting is peaceful. We would stay again. The space is very open. The natural light coming through the windows is something we enjoyed very much. The beds were comfortable. We had not expected the openness of the ceilings between the bedrooms and kitchen, but this wasn't a big deal for us either since we were with our children. We realized that we were more of a 2-bathroom group at times, but we made do, and it was still a nice stay. The USB ports in the bedrooms was nice and needed. Thank you to the owners for the nice accommodations.

A very unique and fun place to stay
We really enjoyed staying in the retreat in the hills of north Asheville. It was a very different experience than staying in a condo or hotel room. It was lovely to hear the rain on the roof and to see the bear crossing in the neighborhood. The two bedrooms are separate but open at the top, so not total privacy if that is something you want. The beds were a little firm for our taste but we worked it out. The owners are very kind.

Perfect for weekend stay
Great location! Not too far from downtown Asheville, easy to get ubers. Close to shopping and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Studio was great! Clean and everything we needed was provided. Robert was very nice and easy to work with. If you have time, I highly recommend looking at his glass blowing shop below. Overall - we did not have any issues - We would stay again for our next visit to Asheville.

Weekend Away
Very unique property and very cozy. One of the walls is (pretty much) one big window which is really nice. Property owner was extremely friendly and helpful. We brough our 3 year old and 9 month old. Close to downtown/breweries/hiking. It would be a little crowded with more than 2 adults w/ kids, but 2 adults & 2 small kids or 3-4 adults w/ no kids would be fine. It was perfect. 10/10 would stay again!

Book it!
This loft was fantastic for our two-night, last minute, getaway. It rained a good portion of our visit, but it forced us to sit and just “be” for a little while. Other reviews note that the walls do not go all the way to the ceiling, however, this was not an issue for my spouse and I. I enjoyed the openness! The ONLY downside to this place is the lack of service. Other than that, it was clean, dog friendly, had awesome WiFi, washer and dryer, and it was close to everything we wanted to do! This is the first place I’ve ever booked where the owners live nearby/on the property because I try to shy away from those listings. However, even though they were home, they kept to themselves and were extremely friendly- we met them both on our way out. We hope to book this place again in the very near future!

My husband, pooch and myself stayed at Bob's Loft apartment over his glass blowing studio this week. What a terrific place to stay. It was clean, convenient to all the sites and shopping and restaurants. Bob and Peggy had made sure that the place was stocked with every convenience necessary to make our stay a delight. The tour of his glass blowing studio was a real treat. I will be coming back in July and can't wait!! BArbara, Jerry and silly Millie
