About this property

Historic 8 BR Tudor on 3 1/2 Acres. Private estate and beautiful setting.

This home is a wonderful escape into history. Ask about discount for 4 night long weekends and 7 day weekly Rentals! Built in the early 1900s and updated several times, it has only had 5 owners since it's creation. Lots of updates for modern conveniences, but so many original features including wormy chestnut exposed beams, doors, and paneling...you'll feel the century of old charm. The property is very private and includes lots of outdoor activities to enjoy if you're relaxing at the house and around the property. It is one of the closest homes to downtown Asheville you'll find to accommodate larger groups .

Only 5 Miles to the Asheville Airport, 6-7 Miles to downtown Asheville, 4 miles to Blue Ridge Parkway and Biltmore Park. 5 Miles from I-40, 4 Miles to I-26, 7 Miles to Biltmore estate, and located less than 1 mile from so many restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and other nice amenities...you won't have to drive far for anything.

Pulling into the home you'll realize what a wonderful find this historic home will provide for short or extended stays Asheville, this city and surrounding region has so much to provide. Call or email with any questions. It can accommodate smaller groups who need only 2-3 Bedrooms, all the way to 8 BRs and groups of 16-18...(or more if you want to spread out on sleeper sofas and trundle beds).

Christmas family vacation
We booked well in advance due to the stay was on Christmas. Bill was very attentive to responding to any questions I had. There was a huge hurricane that went through Asheville and he was informative about the property’s condition. No damages, just the utilities went out and a few trees. My family had a wonderful stay, it checked all the boxes as far as rooms, space, and nearby attractions like the Biltmore estates. Its truely a unique home!

The house was just what we needed. Plenty of room, and we love the layout. The location was close to the airport, which we visited 6 times to get family in and out for our grandmother's funeral. Host was very helpful! Very clean.

Family stay
We really enjoyed staying at this home. It was very unique and everyone loved it. There was plenty of room for all. The only draw back was the bathroom situation. Four bedrooms had private baths. The rest had to share one that was in the basement. It was not convenient.

Enough bedrooms for the entire family
My family from around the country chose Asheville as the place to spend a long weekend to celebrate Christmas together. This home has enough bedrooms to fit everyone. It definitely has historic charm!! We appreciated the christmas decorations and patio heaters around the fire pit. The homeowner was friendly, easy to contact and allowed our pets

Wonderful Memories Made
Bill was a great host. Super quick to respond and always kind and gracious. The property severed our family of 23 perfectly. The extra large fridge was great and the dinning room table was well used! We brought our own pickle ball set and set it up in the basketball area. Hours of family fun. The room with the antique piano was special to our musical family. We brought along our violins, cellos, and horns and played music together every day. We would definitely stay here again if we were all in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Russell

Host profile image
I am the owner of this home and have loved this property for three decades when my best friend purchased the home in the 1990s. He finally sold it to me almost 10 years ago and I have enjoyed raising my 3 kids on this large parcel that is SO close to Asheville, but you feel so far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but it's minutes away if you want to jump into everything the city has to offer.

I have been making constant improvements to the home and property making it an amazing find and one of the most unique homes you'll find in the area. Most recently, the home and garage/barn have been completely painted inside and out. The 5th Bathroom is also completed in the lowest level which provides a common entrance for the 4 bedrooms that don't have their own private bathroom. It's been a real benefit for larger groups.

I'm a single father of 3, own a business in Asheville and got involved in rental property about 15 years ago. This property will be in my family forever and we take excellent care of the grounds and anything that needs attention.

Why they chose this property

This property is very private, it can accommodate large groups and there is plenty of room to spread out inside and out of the home.

SMALL EVENTS may be approved but are limited to 25-30 guests due to space and parking limitations and may incur a small event fee based on booking details and the specifics of the events. Lots of intimate weddings, rehearsal dinners, and small parties.

It is so close to everything Asheville has to offer, all while staying in a century old home that is one of a kind. Keep in touch as all proceeds from this property are going back into continued improvements and amenities.

What makes this property unique

Next to the Main house is a separate cottage that is now included in the rental and a great peaceful get-a-way for newly weds, grandparents, in-laws, or parents with a small child that wants a very quiet and private space...but is only steps from the main house. It has a separate bathroom, kitchen and living room. The front covered porch and the back patio at the cottage are a nice retreat from the main house.
