Birthday
Our family visited Asheville to celebrate a birthday. This home was exactly as described. It was roomy enough for all of us. The home was clean and comfortable. The kids loved the game room, theater room, and downstairs area. Information from the host was great! We had all of the info we needed for an easy stay from check in to check out!

Great location!
This property is located within a neighborhood, but on a main road. The driveway is easy to miss. Drivers on the road are going fast and we passed the driveway ups couple times. This property is very roomy. The furnishings are lovely and the beds were comfy. Inside was clean and organized. Bathrooms are small. Master is sufficient, but the second one quite hard to function in. But we survived that. Our only real disappointment was the cleanliness of the patio. Hot tub is large and functions well. Table and couch cushions were covered in pollen and dirt. The remote for the outdoor fireplace was missing, so that was unusable. All in all, we were satisfied with the property.

Cozy family stay for wedding
We stayed in the house as a family for my son's wedding. The house was very cozy and we loved the set up.We had from age 4 to 75. It was so nice and easier to have all under 1 roof than spread out to several hotel rooms. We love the entertaining areas outside for the children to play. We loved the house and all it had to offer for us at all ages. We had a 15 min drive to downtown Ashville. ❤️

Great house for the family!
This is a great house for a long weekend in Asheville. The home was clean, comfortable and in the perfect location to all the Asheville activities. The owner was super responsive and incredibly helpful during our stay. Only thing to note is that the house is on a pretty busy street, not an issue but just something to keep in mind if you have kids and/or pets with you. Overall, we had an excellent time and would stay here again!

Perfect Weekend Away
We booked this property last minute for a weekend trip. It was very easy to book and check in. The house had everything we needed. It was very comfortable to hang out at and also close enough to Asheville to get out and explore. We all especially loved how comfortable the beds were! I would definitely stay here again!

Great location
The location was perfect for our trip to The Biltmore and to explore Asheville. The home was exactly as expected from photos and had plenty of space for our family of 4 plus our dog. Very comfortable living space and beds and well equipped kitchen.

Absolutely Perfect!!
My family loved this house so much! It was perfect for my family of six and our goldendoodle. The outside area with hot tub, fireplace, tv and comfy furniture was really fun after a long day. The inside was so pretty. Loved the kitchen and used it a ton! Lots of room to sit and hang out and super comfy beds! Now for the little things that made it special- dog treats on the counter, christmas tree in the den, word search on the wall in the bathroom(so funny!),and the map on the wall that we got to put our pin in! So many great little touches. We would highly recommend!

Nice 3BR house in the outskirts of Asheville
Charming old 3 BR house with lots of updated modern renovations inside. Great for hanging out with friends and family in between activities in the Asheville area. Especially enjoyed the outdoor covered area in the back with hot tub, TV for football, and fire pit.

Great House! Awesome location to DT Asheville
My brother and I (~28 - 30 yrs. old) rented this house for a trip to Asheville to celebrate our Dad's 60th birthday and we loved it! The amount of BDR / BTH for us was perfect and the living areas were spacious. We also loved the fire pit! Everything was just as pictured and very clean - if we return to Asheville we would book again! Thanks for having us

Convenient and cozy
This home is super convenient and very quiet. It has plenty of amenities and the beds are very comfortable. I would say that the bathrooms are not excellent; the master en-suite has a very awkward barn door that is very narrow and bounces back when you open it. Overall it is not a very useable space. The closets are unfinished and have cobwebs, which is not comforting. The carpet on the front porch is loose and is a trip hazard. Overall, the renovation of the home has some cut corners that are awkward. Otherwise, the house is lovely and cute. We had a great time!

Lovely cottage in the mountains
Wonderful stay at the firefly cottage in Asheville. Updated farmhouse style home was a perfect getaway for our family. 3 lovely bedrooms with comfy beds. Cute decor and lovely touches throughout the house made this home warm and inviting. Close to downtown and central location to restaurants and the Biltmore. Highly recommend.

Great choice for a relaxing weekend
This property was very clean and exactly as described. It is a cozy place able to comfortably house 6 people and their dogs. The property is an older house with a number of nice upgrades for modernization. Plenty of space to lounge both indoors and outdoors. The hosts communicated well and responded quickly. The hot tub was great! Would love to revisit in warmer weather to take advantage of outdoor seating and fire pit. The house is only less than 15 minutes from downtown so travel was easy. I would definitely recommend staying here and will absolutely consider rebooking on our next trip.

Perfect little house!
We had a wonderful time at this property. It’s so beautiful and really clean. The hot tub was a huge hit even on the chilly nights! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars all around is that I requested an early check-in multiple times, but it was just a waiting game to see when the cleaner was done. She was actually still there past the regular check-in time. All in all, great spot and a beautiful home.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Browning

Host profile image
I have been hosting vacation rentals since Nov. 2015 growing my business from one house to six and love it! My houses have been purchased specifically to Airbnb and have undergone renovations to create a space I hope guests will love.
I am the mother to three kiddos ages 18, 14 & 12. We are super active family who enjoy running, bike riding, hiking and any other outdoor play we can find. We live just "over the mountain" (3 miles by roads) from the houses so I am available to assist when necessary. I am also a Realtor in Asheville at Preferred Properties.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property due to easy access and proximity to downtown Asheville. The setting seemed ideal for a vacation rental. We own two house on this property to allow guests to book them together for larger groups.
