The property is just as beautiful in person as it was online. It was clean, comfy, and welcoming. And there were so many little extra surprises waiting for us as well. The hostess was excellent at contacting us and checking in with us to make sure all of our needs were met. Wonderful experience!

the elegant retreat in Montford was perfect and exactly as described and shown in the photos. we were able to walk to a couple excellent neighborhood restaurants (Nine Mile and All Day Darling). we attended Shakespeare in the Park one evening, very close by and it was a very easy (8 minutes everywhere) drive to the River Arts District, The Grove Arcade (delicious lunch at Huli Sue's), Antique Tobacco Barn, The Orange Peel and Biltmore. I highly recommend this adorable location.

Perfect Location

The historic Montford neighborhood where this fully property is located transports you to days gone by with all the comforts of today. Conveniently located to downtown Asheville and stellar restaurants right in the neighborhood, the cozy hideaway provides convenient access to the Biltmore House, the North Carolina Arboretum, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the River Arts District, bakeries, and breweries. A great place from which to explore the many facets of Asheville and the surrrounding areas!

Cute getaway

This was a super cute little stay in walking distance from downtown (albeit a good 20 min walk). Check in was easy and our host was available and friendly. We had all we needed for our short visit. Very clean space and very cozy! You can hear whats going on upstairs pretty clearly but nothing that kept us up at night or anything.

This property was beautiful and very convenient to anywhere you might want to go in Asheville. But the neighborhood was quiet and the beautiful background right outside the entryway to the property made you feel like you were away from everything! The host was wonderful to work with and check in was easy. She also equipped the property with extras that made our stay even nicer!

A great property and location

The property is private and comfortable. The bed is quality and you'll sleep well. The kitchenette is stocked with goodies to get you started like coffee and a good tea selection. TV and couch make for a good way to unwind after a day exploring Asheville. The host is amazing and friendly. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Hidden gem in Montford

Perfect little place for a single traveler or couple. Great location, quaint historic neighborhood convenient to downtown -walk, bike or drive. Host was very helpful and answered questions thoughtfully and quickly. Comfortable and clean. Reasonably priced. Would stay here again! Loved that there was a coffee/tea bar all set up and ready on the kitchen counter ☕️♥️
