Great location and house layout. Only two beds, both King, but several pullout sofas which were fine for kids. Loved the porch and swings. Nice big kitchen and dining room table for a group.

Great beautiful vintage house, close to town

We had a great time at this house. It is just as lovely as the pictures. Just a note, the third bedroom with the pull out isn't really a great bedroom if, for example you're sleeping 3 adult couples. I could see it as a kids room.

Lovely house close to downtown.

This home is just perfect. Recently renovated to provide every comfort, it still possesses its historic charm. Only a ten minute walk to all the restaurants and shopping downtown. Across the street from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Harris Teeter. Kitchen was stocked with all the best appliances and equipment. Lots of room to spread out and relax.

Amazing!!

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your beautiful home. We didn’t want to leave! The House was very clean and cozy. We had such a great time and can’t wait to book it again for next years birthday celebration! My only negative is that there wasn’t an actual bed in the 3rd room but we made it work and had the best weekend getaway! Thank you again!!

Girls getaway

We had 6 adults and I missed the part about pullout beds. But so glad that I did!! This place was perfect. Great location, adorable neighborhood, easy to walk places. The home has such a unique personality. My daughter restores vintage homes and she just loved this one. With six women, the large kitchen space and table were perfect for gathering, telling stories, and laughing. We loved every minute of it! The only boy in the group was my golden doodle who enjoyed our nice walks through the neighborhood.

Lovely, Spacious, Clean and Conveniently Located

I enjoyed a mini reunion in Asheville over the long Memorial Day weekend with 3 girlfriends from college. The house was perfect for our needs - very clean, organized, with ample space in a quiet setting and within convenient walking distance of restaurants and stores. The 4 of us shared 2 large beds (one on the ground floor and one upstairs) - beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were renovated nicely and showers worked great. We enjoyed a tasty vegan meal at the restaurant across the street (Plant) and my friends thoroughly enjoyed a demanding yoga workout at a nearby studio. Belle, the owner, was great to deal with - accommodating and so responsive. Would highly recommend for a group of friends or 1-2 families and look forward to coming back.

Convenient and comfortable- no hot tub

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this property. Great location with easy access to groceries, restaurants and downtown. The house is large and provides plenty of space for 6 or more. The amenities lists a hot tub, but there’s not one, a claw foot tub in the upstairs bathroom (not the same thing). There’s an ant issue in the kitchen around the sink, so beware of leaving food out/coffee spoons. Had to request the check in info a few hours before arrival, host was responsive when messaged.

Perfect location

So glad we stayed here! Other visits to Asheville we’ve stayed right in the center of the action and we much preferred this more (only slightly) off the beaten path spot. The front porch is where we spent most of our time, even in 90 degree heat it was cool and pleasant. Perfect neighborhood, quiet and walk right across the street to get anything you need at Harris teeter. It was nice to have the conveniences of a house and be less than a mile to all the restaurants and bars. Took a stroll around the block and admired all the beautiful native gardens. Perfect, perfect, perfect.

Successful vacation

The wrap around front porch was the best. A cool breeze made it the ideal place for coffee and cocktails. Conveniently located to everything in a colorful neighborhood. A proper bed in the upstairs TV room would improve comfort and capacity. Other than that it was the perfect rental. Ann

Everything we could have wanted

This VRBO is a lovely home in an ideal setting. It's location is in a well maintained older neighborhood BUT only a block away there's a Trader Joes, Whole Foods Market, and a Chick Filet. It's also within walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants. The Homeowner couldn't have been more responsive and helpful, particularly when I left an article behind. I am so grateful for their kindness. We will definitely rent this home again when we visit Asheville next year.

Everything worked out very well. A surprise was that the beds beyond the two kings were pull-outs. Could us some new sheets for these beds. We had to hunt for those that were there. Beyond that, everything was fine and as advertised.

very enjoyable visit with a few glitches

We had a few issues checking in, but were more than satisfied with the compensation from the owner for our original issue with the property manager's availability. Though it indicated 2 blocks from downtown, it wasn't an easy gentle block type walk though it may have technically been two weeks from the outskirts. There were four of us and we each had a room to ourselves, which was very convenient though we elected to use the walk in shower on the first floor versus the beautiful claw foot tub which was difficult to get in and out of at our age. We enjoyed the use of the front porch swings and the huge dining room table with easy access to the open kitchen. We requested additional face towels and our request was immediately met. All future communication with the owner was prompt, pleasant and very accommodating.

Great place

I stayed in this house for a girls weekend. It was a very nice house and slept us all well. It was very clean upon arrival as well. The location was perfect, close enough to the city to walk or drive to downtown easily. We also asked a few questions leading up to the trip and I received quick and helpful answers from the owner. The only issue was linens/towels. There were 7 towels for 6 people but a couple of the towels were not clean, they had marks/stains on them. We didn’t have extras so we had to make due. There were also no washcloths provided. We ran out of paper towels and toilet paper quickly as well, there was not enough refills provided for as many people the house can hold.
