Girls weekend
The Southern Gem was perfect place to stay for a Girls weekend. Great location to so many great restaurants, shopping/boutiques and we even did a spa day. Very clean and spacious for group of 4. We were able to walk to majority of places we went to. Used Lyft/Uber to a couple of places that were a bit further and price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend taking the Trolley Tour. Was very helpful showing us some places in Asheville we may have overlooked. Also recommend the Piano Bar. That was was such a fun place to go to at night.

Spring break 2024
Our family had an amazing trip to Asheville. The location of the property was perfect. So convenient and walkable to everything downtown. The condo itself was well stocked with ample space for a family of 4. We loved the modern decor and the furniture and beds were very comfortable. We would definitely book this same property again!
