Our house and VRBO unit were not damaged by Hurricane Helene which hit the Asheville area on September 27, 2024. Although we closed the unit for several weeks due to loss of power and water, we have now reopened the unit as of Saturday night, Nov. 30, 2027. All utilities are back on and up and running, including drinkable water, and tv and internet service.

Downtown Asheville, with its many restaurants, shops, and other attractions was only minimally impacted by Hurricane Helene and is up and running and welcoming guests. Areas surrounding Asheville are slowly recovering and all major city roads and highways are open. We hope you will consider visiting Asheville soon - your visits and presence here will greatly help in our recovery efforts.

With regard to booking our unit, we do not accept one night rentals. We request that guests coming on a weekend book the unit for both Friday and Saturday nights (2 nights)(or Saturday and Sunday nights). Weekends are the most popular time for people visiting the Asheville area and single night bookings limit the number of weekend bookings - therefore, we request a minimum two night booking.

This rental is very near downtown Asheville, only 2.5 miles from the Biltmore Estate entrance & close to several Blue Ridge Parkway entrances. Enjoy being able to walk downtown while at the same time being tucked away on a dead end street at the base of Beaucatcher Mountain. The rental can sleep four people and is approximately 1,200 square feet. It has one master bedroom, a large bonus room that serves as a work area, and a living/den area with an open full kitchen layout.

As you enter the driveway, the guest entrance is directly next to parking and is easily accessible with no steps. You will enter into the den/living area that has a large comfortable couch, a two seater dining room table, a 55 inch wall-mounted TV, and a kitchen bar with two bar stools. The open kitchen arrangement allows for easy communication with others seated in the living/den area and TV viewing when cooking. There are two windows with blinds in this area which allow for natural light to enter and privacy when the blinds are closed.

The kitchen is large with plenty of cabinet storage and countertop space for prepping food. There is a flat top stove/oven combo as well as a full size refrigerator. All the essential cooking items, such as pots, pans, silverware and utensils are provided. There is also a microwave, toaster, blender, a drip coffee maker, and a French press with coffee grinder.

The hall from the kitchen takes you back to the full size bathroom, master bedroom and bonus room that serves as a workspace or extra sleeping area. The master bedroom has a queen size bed with comfortable mattress, a chest of drawers, a dresser, a second smart TV, two nightstands and a bench. There is also one window (with a blind) in the bedroom which allows for natural light and privacy, and a closet for hanging plenty of clothes.

The bonus room/office has a large size desk serving as a dedicated work space. In this room there is also large sofa, two night stands with lamps, a large chair and another closet for hanging more clothes or storage.

The entire rental unit has a beautiful sanded and stained cement floor. There is central air and heat.

The large front and back yard are grass, and you likely will see several goats roaming the hillside inside a low voltage electric fenced area behind the rental unit.

Guests have the entire private rental that is described and will not have to share space with others. There is a private entrance right next to the guest parking in the private driveway. This unit is an apartment, guest suite style space that is in the lower level of our house where we live.

The City of Asheville does not allow full house rentals within city limits. Therefore, this rental is a guest suite that is in the same house as the owners who live upstairs.

I love the neighborhood because of the following reasons:

1. The rental is central to everything. The proximity to downtown while still being in a residential neighborhood cannot be beat. All parts of downtown are very accessible from this rental by foot or bike.

2. The rental is only 2.5 miles from the entrance to Biltmore Estate and only 3.5 miles to an entrance for the Blue Ridge Parkway via Town Mountain Road via Martin Luther King Drive. There are several other entrances to the Blue Ridge Parkway within 3-5 miles.

3. The rental unit is also very near many popular stores and restaurants as well as the Asheville Mall, on the other side of Beaucatcher Mountain, which is easily accessible through Tunnel Road (all within 1.5 miles or less).

4. The views in the neighborhood and nearby roof top bars are incredible and there are plenty of places to hike in the neighborhood. There are no mountain views from the rental. However, if you decide to hike in the neighborhood, you will be amazed at some of the views from Beaucatcher Mountain.

5. There are several sports and entertainment areas near the retail unit, including: several play grounds, two stadiums which host a semi pro soccer team and a single A baseball team, a softball field with one disc golf basket, two golf courses, and public tennis courts.

6. Wildlife is thriving for being in a city - I have seen turkey, bear, fox, coyote, and a plethora of birds in this neighborhood. Plus our neighbor has several goats that roam the hillside behind the rental unit (behind an electric fence). They are always fun to watch and feed. You will likely see them from the rental.

    Fully equipped kitchen, dog friendly, clean. The only surprise is that they charge extra daily for minor children. Just be aware if you are bringing children you will pay 25/day PER CHILD. Tough for families, but they said most are just adults that come. So the price/value is good if you don't have kids.

    The check-in process was incredibly simple once explained by the host. The kitchen had several items that we had forgotten or didn't even think about, so that was a plus. The beds were incredibly soft and welcoming. They were even easy to strip, which was a part of the simple check-out process.

    This place was super clean and very cozy! My husband and I spent time here for our Ashville visit, and the communication with John was easy and detailed. They left a sweet message of welcome for us in the kitchen, and they had many details such as a fan and space heater in the bedroom in case they are needed. Would definitely recommend for a nice quiet stay!

    Fantastic location in Ashville and very nice spacious house, very well equipped and comfortable. Walk to dining, close to groceries, close to Biltmore, easy access to highways when driving somewhere remote to hike. If you go up the hill in the neighbirhood, there are good views of Ashville and the mountains. The house had everything, even an ice pack in the freezer to keep our lunch cool in the cat when we were going hikng. The owners live on site which I quite liked - good to have them readily available if needed (though we ended uo not needing their help). At the same time it is a saparate entrance, so we never stumbled into them and it all felt very private. Perfect accommodations. Thank you so much!
