This property is generally a 30 DAY MINIMUM stay per zoning, however, at times I will consider an occasional shorter stay and just block out the calendar for the remainder (only do per 30 day period allowed). Inquire for specific rates/info on any shorter requests.

Here is a description:
This 2 BR/1BA stand alone house sits on a quiet 1/2 acre lot in the Chestnut Hills historic area. It was originally built in the 1950's as a caretaker cottage for the 6 unit Victorian apartmenthouse in front. It can be accessed from the main driveway to the property or directly from the private alleyway behind (shared with 4 homes). Since this home is free-standing, there are no other tenants above or below you - making it a quiet space, in a serene spot with large trees.

This is truly an awesome location for enjoying all that Asheville offers! The neighborhood is one of historic homes, mostly built around 1920s or earlier, with several award winning bed-and-breakfasts within a block radius. You can walk to downtown from here (about 1/2 mile away) or get an easy Uber ride. There are also several wonderful restaurants right here in the neighborhood and a full selection of grocery stores within a couple of short blocks (Greenlife/Whole Foods, Trader'Joe's and Harris Teeter 1-block). Asheville YOGA Center is 2 short blocks away so it's a great place to stay for their retreats! With all that is so close-by, you don't even need your car in this location.

The home is fully furnished and comfortably decorated. Hardwood floors make for charming space and easy care. Each bedroom has a queen bed, with bed linens included. Bath has been updated with vanity and storage. Kitchen is very large with maple cabinets and full appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, over-the-range microwave, disposal), and all basic dishes, utensils, pots, pans are included - as well as coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, hand mixer, blender...

The house has Central AC (not all rentals in the area have central AC due to age of homes).

Comfortable living room has a sleeper sofa and other furnishings, plus 40 tv with streaming stick (stream your own accts). There is one dedicated parking space in front of house for convenience, another space in back of house (adjacent to alley), and plenty of on-street parking in front of main house. Coin washer and dryer is currently on the premises in the main apt building…although this may be subject to change.

This is NOT set up as luxury accommodations. but as comfortable, quaint space that will make you feel like a local and live the true Asheville vibe! We do request that you respect the generally quiet atmosphere of the location and surroundings - no large or loud parties, please. No Smoking.

    We enjoyed Asheville. There were some things about the property that we stayed in that were great and there are other things that were not so good.What was great was the location, the neighborhood, the quiet, the parking place right outside, the comfortable beds, and the fact that it was pet friendly.What was not so great was the discomfort of the couch in the living room - it is quite uneven to sit on which can be a problem for anyone with back issues. Also, the throw in the living room (or perhaps something else) had a distinct smell of urine. The shower in the bathroom is quite slippery - definitely needs a mat in it for safety. The TV was not set up for cable, but did have Roku and one could access Netflix or other streaming services that way if you have a subscription. There was one roll of toilet paper on the holder in the bathroom and one garbage bag in the garbage can in the kitchen, but that was all. There was old wrapping paper and broken hangars in closet - would have been nicer if cleaned out.

    We are locals who needed a place to stay after a pipe burst at our home. Sherri's house is centrally located to grocery stores, neighborhoods, and downtown.

    This host stopped general maintenance on this property many years ago - and the place shows it.

    Sherri was very accommodating with me. I was having to figure out what to do if the hurricane dori hit my home town. She was very flexible and kind. I would stay there again

    We loved staying at this quaint little cottage! It's an adorable little 2 br/1ba with all the comforts of home. If your business is downtown, you don't need a car, you can walk. The access to grocery stores (Healthy ones TJ's and Harris Teeter) is quite walk able and convenient if you don't want to dine out at all the amazing establishments Asheville has to offer. We had comfortable nights rest, coffee at the breakfast nook and evenings relaxing in the garden after a long work day! We will return, for sure :) We LOVE it here :)

    Great little place. Bed was nice. Proximity is close to downtown, but consider a 1+ mile walk in winter. We had that cold snap come through. I did more driving and parking than I wanted. Trader Joe’s is a block away. Quiet community.
