This cozy two-story 1905 Carriage House was renovated over the last 50 years to function as a modern home while retaining historic integrity and charm (the main house burned down in the 70's). This was my architectural design studio while I lived in the cottage next door, during the construction of my new home on the front part of the property about 8 years ago (featured in Fall 2010 Fine Homebuilding magazine).

Stayed Aug 1, 2025We loved the Carriage House! Central Montford location cannot be beat, and the property is exactly as listed. We were lucky enough to get a glimpse (from afar) of the neighborhood bear who occasionally visits the alleyway! Michael was a great host, very responsive and accommodating, we would love to stay here again.

Stayed Sep 28, 2024We were scheduled to spend the month of October at Michael’s rental. Hurricane Helene and aftermath had other plans and we had to cancel. Michael went above and beyond what a lot of hosts would have done and after many (difficult to make with limited service) attempts, got our refund from VRBO and passed it on to us. A lot of hosts would not have done that and we can’t wait to stay next year!

Stayed Aug 1, 2024I had a great month of August staying at Micheal’s property.The carriage was exactly like like the description .The house was fully equipped and everything worked.The Montford area is the best place to stay close enough to downtown to walk three great restaurants in the neighborhood.As for strange turkey walking around the neighborhood a bunch of goats around the corner and a morning meeting with a bear in the ally.Highly recommend staying at the montford carriage house your so close to everything.And Micheal even lent me a bicycle while i was there.

Stayed Feb 5, 2024wonderful, aesthetically pleasing and well equipped hideaway ,close to town. Michael was very pleasant and helpful. (His binder of information was excellent.) and all this is within walking to 3 wonderful eateries. my only problem occurred with the entrance drive to the ample parking area. It is a very tight, curved driveway, with rock wall on either side. I guess my car is too big. I needed my 4 side cameras each time to enter and leave. the home provided a wonderful introduction to Asheville.

Stayed May 31, 2023We knew we would love this place when two little chickens met us at our car. Close to 3 great grocery stores and 2 restaurants we frequented a lot. So close to downtown that we found it easier to Uber than drive and park. No pay channels so we brought our IPad and watched movies on that. Thanks for a great stay!

Stayed Apr 16, 2023The carriage house location is perfect for walking to Downtown Asheville, grocery stores, UNC tailgate, neighborhood restaurants, historic cemetery, and parks. I loved the quiet neighborhood and the glorious sound of birds. It’s a quick ride to the Riverfront Arts District and other neighboring communities. Also easy ride to Blue Ridge Parkway and NC Arboretum. Our Asheville adventure was wonderful with the carriage house and it’s perfect location contributing to that experience.
