Top rated w/recent upgrades! CLOSE to Biltmore & downtown, fire pit-dog friendly

As of Summer 2024 we have 264, 5-star reviews out of 266 total!!! There is a reason :) This 2,000 sq. ft. home, built by the owners in 2016, is very private yet close to it all. The common areas are spacious and open . . . ideal for sharing time together and relaxing. The living room area has very comfortable seating, a gas fireplace and TV. The wood dining table is BIG, and includes 8 chairs. The kitchen has a large island with "breakfast bar" seating, clean stainless steel appliances and white cabinets filled with a wide range of cooking supplies, utensils, etc.. We outfitted the bedrooms with super comfortable mattresses and soft cotton and micro-fiber sheets, along with quality dressers and nightstands. The bathrooms, with granite vanity countertops, stay sparkling clean! We created a "hang-out" room in the upper level (with 50" flat screen TV). For your outdoor time we fenced in the back yard where we have a patio, table and chairs, gas grill and a beautiful fire pit surrounded by boulders and landscaping. It's just one of those places that feels good both inside and out, and we'd love you stay with us!

Centrally located, the home is just 4 miles to downtown Asheville, 2 miles to the Biltmore Estate and Village. Shopping, groceries and multiple restaurants are within 2 miles and less than 2 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway, I-240 and I-40. Everything around Asheville is quick and easy from our location!

Book our home and you will see why our guests' ratings have put us in the TOP 1% most highly rated short-term rentals in Asheville.

Return to Asheville
We lived in Asheville 13 years ago and were ready to come back for a visit. This home was the perfect location for us to visit the Asheville area that we love so much. It is a central location and easy to access. The home is well furnished and so comfortable. There is plenty of room and the beds and couches are so nice. We loved this home. The host family was prompt and so accommodating. We highly recommend this home

Clean, great location, comfortable, peaceful
We enjoyed a great family vacation in this comfortable home in a great location. We were close to adventures at the Biltmore, Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, and French Broad River. We were able to enjoy healthy, home cooked/grilled meals everyday and do our dirty laundry after our outdoor adventures. It was perfect for us! Quiet, comfortable, spacious, and convenient!

Peaceful and comfortable getaway
Big, new, comfortable home! Excellent layout, big spaces for gathering in the kitchen, dining room, living room and upstairs game room - with plenty of privacy between bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen and easy access to laundry closet. The fire pit outside is perfect for s'mores at night or coffee in the morning. Tucked away in a sweet, quiet neighborhood but only 10 - 20 minutes from popular spots in Asheville. Highly recommend for big families or couples!

Property was perfect for our party of 5(ended up as 4) second half of our group rented on same street. Was perfect for our long weekend as home base to enjoy Asheville and the Brevard/DuPont Area. Owner was extremely communicative as we had a little reservation hiccup that was handled with grace and a quick return call to help locate the fuse box. Linens Kitchen etc were all well appointed. Back yard fire pit was nice space to chill in the evenings. Only feedback would be to upgrade the 2nd bath showerhead and window dressings might make some guest more comfortable. Thank You to the owners - we'll likely return!

Wonderful experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely clean and spacious home! Very well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, puzzles and games, and convenient location to all Asheville has to offer made our trip exceptional. Very quiet location in a nice neighborhood. Several other reviews mentioned the lack of a bathroom upstairs and if you are traveling with all adults, that may be an issue. We would highly recommend this home!

Wonderful getaway with friends
The house was perfect for 6 friends who wanted a weekend getaway to see Biltmore and to spend time together. The house was perfect- clean, spacious, quiet neighborhood. The only thing that I might suggest is to have a light source to highlight the sidewalk to the front door, which is made with stepping stones and uneven, and could be a tripping hazard especially after dark. We definitely had the best time and hope to come back.

Comforts of home!
Great house in a great location. Listing is very accurate. Exceptionally clean! This is a perfect choice in Asheville. A few in my party were concerned about the lack of window treatments in the main living area (as others have stated) this may be a concern to some but would not keep us from staying again. Very safe neighborhood. Overall excellent property and great communication with host.

Everything you need
We were in Asheville for 10 days to visit family. The house was very clean and had lots of space. The beds and bedding were very comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet and leafy. For those who like to cook at home, the pot selection might be limited, but we made it work and the grill was perfect. The only con is that due to the design of the house, it doesn’t get tons of light.
