About this property

Robins Nest—10 min to AVL and Biltmore—RAD—-fireplace—hot tub—cont breakfast

Robins Nest is in a great location in the countryside yet only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville, the River Arts District, Biltmore Estate, West Asheville, UNCA, N C Arboretum, shopping, breweries, hiking, rafting, and biking.

Suitable for two adults, Robins Nest is spacious yet cozy. It has a bedroom with a fireplace, full bathroom with shower, and a full kitchen. A twin cot is available for one more adult at an extra fee of $50 per night

You have your own parking space with garden stair steps leading to this charming apartment.

Days are blocked between reservations. The apartment is meticulously cleaned between guests.

This spacious apartment is furnished in English cottage and includes many amenities to make you feel comfortable and at home. You will enjoy the peace and quiet yet you have fast wi-fi, best-seller books, streaming tv services.

Tucked behind and shaded by the hot tub deck, Robins Nest stays cool in even in the warmest part of summer. The charming freestanding fireplace keeps it warm and cozy in winter.

It is the perfect place to relax or enjoy so many outdoor activities. You are welcome to enjoy the rocking chairs on the upper deck at the hot tub as well as the gas table fire pit on your patio.

This clean and cozy apartment is an open floor plan but with separate and distinct areas.

This space is furnished with a queen bed, luxurious linens, two nightstands and lamps, artwork, rocking chair and footstool, wingback chair, large smart tv, and a country dresser with drawers for clothes. There are two luggage racks and also a closet for hanging clothes. An iron and ironing board are provided.


The white-tiled sparkling kitchen is complete with a full refrigerator, stove, microwave, and cooktop. Note there isn’t a dishwasher. Kitchen cabinets hold ironstone dishes, glassware, pots and pans, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, blender, ice bucket, and everything you need should you wish to prepare meals.

Some small grocery essentials for cooking, dishwashing supplies and linens are provided.

Enjoy dining at the comfortable kitchen table already set. A grilled dinner after a relaxing soak in the hot tub is perfect.

The full bathroom is private and off of the living area. It has a shower, sink, mirror, and commode. Fluffy towels, comfy robes, shampoo/soap /conditioner, a hair dryer, iron and ironing board are provided.

Soak in the tree top hot tub while enjoying the starry night sky. It’s located on an upper deck above the apartment. The outside sitting area gives you the sense of your own private courtyard. Perhaps you will hear the musical notes of a guitar or banjo in the distance. My neighbor is a musician and practices on his front porch across the woods.

We live beside a beautiful 18 hole private disc golf course. One is beginner friendly 4000 ft course and the other championship level 7700 ft. Mapped on UDisc. You are welcome to play for a greens fee.

The hot tub may also be used by the two guests staying in Bluebirds Nest. For privacy, a sign is provided so that you can indicate that it is occupied. We do our best to give you all the privacy one would want. You can play your music and turn on patio string lights or soak in the dark watching the stars. Flashlights and plastic drinking glasses are provided.

Allegiant Airlines has many inexpensive direct flights into Asheville. Some are New York, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, and Orlando.

People from all backgrounds are welcome in Robins Nest.

We have a pumping system that pumps wastewater up to the septic lines in the front yard. You will hear it when it empties.

You will hear our footsteps above but we are in the front of the house most of the time. A Nest security camera is located outside and monitors only the entrance.

Bluebirds Nest, our other apartment, accommodates two guests. You might want to keep that in mind if you plan to travel with another couple or if Robins Nest is booked.

It is #1266809
My husband and I occupy the main level and are available for anything needed or emergencies.

The apartment does not have a dishwasher.

This was our 35th wedding anniversary and we just wanted something quiet but nice. We stayed in Bluebird and it was spectacular. The hostess provided everything you could imagine for a pleasant stay. They really out done themselves. Thank you for a wonderful weekend. If you want a nice stay this is definitely worth every dime! God bless the both of you!! Can’t wait for our next trip to Asheville

Wonderful Accommodations!
This little hideaway is an Asheville Gem! I could not have asked for a more peaceful stay. The location was quiet, secluded but easy to get to and within easy drive of all Ashevillehas to offer. The hostess left ham & cheese sandwiches, fresh fruit, yogurt and coffee pods for the Kureg along with cream and sugar. The table was even set with fresh cut flowers. The hottub was just perfect for a cold evening. I will definitely consider this location on my next trip to Asheville.

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed.
Look no further when booking an Asheville trip! Bet's place was EXACTLY as described. Clean, cozy, and convenient to all the places in Asheville without the hustle and bustle. Far enough away from town to look up in the sky at night and see stars not street lights, but just a short drive to anywhere. We were welcomed with pure Southern Hospitality and enjoyed her special touches of snacks, fruit, and FRESH flowers. We would definitely stay here again. We enjoyed the daily visits of wildlife with our morning Coffee, like the White Squirrel and the wild Turkeys. Even the next door neighbor playing his "music" at night was a pleasant surprise when we arrived home from a day of Brewery Hopping. My only regret was not hanging out at the property a little more. We only used the hot tub one evening, but it was heavenly. Bet is friendly, attentive, and has a 3 ring binder made up of lots of things pertaining to the area. We took it everywhere with us! Thank you for a relaxing stay. We look forward to a return to Asheville.

My fiancé and I came out to Asheville for the weekend to see the colors on the leaves and enjoy some good hiking. Our host was amazing. She even put fresh fruit in the fridge for us to enjoy 😊 it made for a great breakfast before hitting the trail later that morning. We had an amazing weekend and would love to come back someday.

Perfectly Peaceful!
I absolutely loved staying at the Robin's Nest and plan to return on a future visit to Asheville. This was a solo trip to visit my baby at UNCA, which is only about a 10 minute drive away. I wish I had other family members with me to share the experience. The home is in a perfectly peaceful area surrounded by birds and trees. Upon stepping out of my car, the first sounds I heard were the flickering of hummingbirds. The complimentary fruit, pastries, and snacks make you feel welcome. I enjoyed spending the evenings on the porch, relaxing with a book and enjoying the live music that carried over from a neighbor who strummed his banjo into the evening. After an entire morning of mountain biking in Bent Creek, the hot tub was the perfect remedy for sore muscles. Thank you, Betty and Johnny, for everything!!!

Perfect stay in beautiful apartment
My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. As our first time visiting Asheville, the location of this unit was great. Bet and Johnny were so gracious and accommodating us in parking our popup trailer in their spacious driveway. We enjoyed privacy in the hot tub on the deck and sitting areas outside the unit. The bed was very comfortable. The pictures are true to the beautiful furnishings. The breakfast in the frig and snacks provided were greatly appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was just perfect! We highly recommend this unit if you want a peaceful, relaxing stay with southern hospitality.

A Home Away From Home
My fiancé and I had a wonderful time at this property. It was very private and the hospitality provided was like nothing I had experienced before at a VRBO. There was homemade breakfast waiting in the fridge upon our arrival, and it was delicious. The apartment was cozy and perfect for us. Bet responded quickly and was so helpful each time I reached out. The location is nestled in a quiet area, however was still a very quick drive to the city. We would definitely stay here again.

A quick weekend getaway
We arrived and were greeted by John outside, where we talked for a few minutes. He offered to help carry our bags and show us around. He showed us everything we needed to see and told us everything we needed to know in a short time. The location is great- not in the middle of nowhere but not in the middle of town either. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of everything. Everything is modern as well. My girlfriend was excited about being able to watch some of her most favorite childhood shows on tv. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and she and I both have agreed that we would stay there again.

Nice, reasonable hideaway with a hot tub
Very spacious, modern, well-appointed apartment. As spacious as some condo suites/1br I have stayed in. Nearly everything you need - not the least of which is plenty of snacks, desserts, and breakfast foods/coffee (Keurig) which helps avoid a trip to the store after a long drive in when that's the last thing you want to worry about. Very communicative and helpful hosts. Very clean and quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Betty Kindley

Host profile image
My husband and I are natives of Asheville. We love this vibrant city and the beautiful mountains of WNC and love sharing our knowledge and experiences with you.

I am an artist/educator/beekeeper with a home studio. My paintings are in a gallery in the River Arts District at 310 ART where I have taught workshops. I would be glad to recommend sites and galleries to see while visiting Asheville.

I am a retired teacher from Buncombe County Schools. National Board Certified, I taught digital imaging, website development, and computer applications.

My interest in digital imaging led me into photography with the beauty of these WNC mountains and the people and their culture being my favorite subjects.

I come from a railroading family and Southern Railway/Norfolk Southern has been good to us. The railroad's history is tied to the River Arts District and I felt as if I was "coming home" when I became an exhibiting artist at 310 ART at Riverview Station.

My husband comes from a Coca-Cola family who pioneered Coke in the western most counties including Bryson City. His aunt married into the Granville Calhoun family and the old home place is still standing up Hazel Creek in the Great Smokies National Park.

I enjoy hiking and fishing but my waterskiing days are over! We especially like to spend long weekends at our houseboat on Fontana Lake with our family.

We have two wonderful daughters, son-in-laws, and three red-headed grandchildren!

We will be glad to share our knowledge of this area with you and make any recommendations you may be interested in.

Our style of hosting is very simple. We are here if you need us and want to provide you with the best accommodations possible. We want you to feel at home.

We invite you to stay with us and hope to see you soon.

Why they chose this property


I know that many of you are concerned about your travel safety and health. Please know that at this time, we are blocking at least one day between bookings so the apartment can be aired out and sanitized.

All towels and wash clothes are washed in hot water and dried on hot. All surfaces that are frequently touched, light/lamp switches, remote controls, doorknobs, etc. are sanitized. The bathroom is cleaned and sanitized. Finally, I have placed an air purifier/UV light in the apartment.

I prepare a delicious and nutritious breakfast allowing you to stay in late.

No-contact entry with a key provided.

Relax in outside areas with ample sunshine and fresh air.
