Great getaway in Asheville area!

This place is absolutely wonderful. It has everything we needed and is in such a great location. Close to Asheville and Black Mountain and the entire area has so much to offer. The house is so nice and clean. I was vacationing with my niece from Boston and she said that this was her dream house. It is great for families or couples with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The owners really care- you can tell. We didn’t bring fur babies, but the front yard is perfect if you did as it is fenced in. Loved the house, the area, and our visit!

Great smokey mountain get away!

This is a beautiful home, everything is new and looks great. The area is also great. Good places to eat within a few miles from house. The Blue Ridge Parkway was 10 mins away and was great to get to with the motorcycle. The Biltmore estate was only 15 mins away as well. Great Location to see the area!

Great clean home in Swannanoa

We enjoyed bringing our dog to this lovely home. The fenced yard and dog beds were really helpful. We felt comfortable and we’re able to get to hiking areas and Asheville easily. The home was spotless like a new home and we had all of the amenities we needed to cook some meals when we didn’t go out. Thank you so much for sharing your home! We hope to come back soon!

Cozy, cute, and clean

Inside the house was so nice and the outside the house itself is too but the location of the house was a little off putting but still would recommend because of the cleanliness and appearance inside! We were close to everything we were in town for. Would highly recommend adding Body/full length mirror..we were in town for a wedding and it was hard to get ready. Was a great stay all in all!

Very nice place to stay and relax after sight seeing all day. We had local family come over and visit. Our dog loved the fenced in front yard. Neighbors were nice and so was the wildlife.

The Perfect Home Away From Home

The Blue Bamboo Escape is the perfect rental home not too far from the action but far enough to have a quiet peaceful time away from the busy Downtown Asheville areas. The house is clean, comfortable with updated appliances and all the necessary amenities of home. As a family of three, we had more than enough space to stretch out and relax after our day’s adventures. The hosts made wonderful suggestions of things to do locally, including checking out nearby Black Mountain which is a cute nearby town. We absolutely loved our stay, including coffees on the beautiful front porch rocking chairs in the mornings and watching the fireflies at night. We will definitely be back again and would highly recommend this stay to anyone.

Great Location and Property

We loved staying at this house. It was super cute and very comfortable. The location is great, convenient to Asheville and other cool little areas. We really enjoyed the front porch and rocking chairs too. Great place to relax and enjoy the mountain air!

Fabulous house & location!

This house was in a perfect location in between downtown Asheville & Black Mountain. There is so much to see in the area and many great breweries & restaurants. Very nice quiet neighborhood & we loved sitting on the front porch on the rocking chairs. And the house was extremely clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable! Our pups really liked the fenced in front yard too. We will definitely be back!

Great home

The home was very nice and updated. The small park being restored across the street and the enclosed front yard were great for letting the dog walk and play. The location was not far from nearby hiking trails and parks, nor was it a long drive to downtown Asheville. For us, it was exactly what we needed for a great mountain visit!

The best place to stay around Asheville!

This house was amazing! It didn't feel like a RE-ntal it felt like a RE-sort. Everything about the house made it feel like a home away from home. The furniture and beds were comfortable, the Smart TVs were a very nice touch, and the overall general feel of the place was extremely inviting and unique. Close enough to Asheville to be there in 15 minutes, far enough away to really soak in the peace and quiet of the mountains. The bonus was Black Mountain was so close and it a great little town a few minutes away with that mountain-town charm! This is truly the IDEAL house in the IDEAL location! This will be my go-to place to stay on all future trips to this great area. Lastly, the hosts were kind, attentive, and a pleasure to rent from!

Cleanest home ever!!

We stayed at this property for a week. We wanted to see Biltmore and the surrounding areas. We chose this home because it was one level since my 88 year old Mother was with my husband and myself. It was conveniently located to many things. I think this was the cleanest vacation home we’ve ever rented. We will definitely be back it was lovely and totally updated!!

Best Vacation Rental!

Very relaxing stay in this beautifully remodeled home! Great fenced in front yard that our dog loved, and we enjoyed sitting on the rocking chairs on the front porch watching her explore. Very comfy master bed, gorgeous decor and we loved the rainfall shower heads in both bathrooms. Great space for a couple or a family. Bonus space would be great for all, but there were only 3 of us so we spent our time in the main house. Fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms, which we really appreciated. Loved the super quiet neighborhood and convenient location to Black Mountain and Asheville. Our favorite rental so far and so we will definitely be returning!

Beautiful home, close to everything Asheville

This home is beautiful when you pull in, but even more so once you walk through the door. Everything you could need for your stay is included, and the home is at most a 20 minute drive from everything Asheville. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch, playing cornhole by the fire, and loved lounging in the game room with ping pong tv. We even had a black bear visitor meander through which was exciting. All in all it was a great visit in a home away from home. We'll be back for sure.

Great dog-friendly home

The house was recently renovated and everything was very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed, the living space was comfortable, the bedrooms were large and the bathrooms were fabulous. The front yard is completely fenced in, which made it easy to let the dogs out the front door and watch them from the covered front porch. Sheets, bath towels and other towels were provided. Downtown Asheville was a 15-minute drive but was usually traffic-free. We also enjoyed Black Mountain which was a similar distance the opposite direction. Overall we were very pleased with this house - definitely a great option if traveling with pups!

Secluded beauty

It is insanely quiet in the area. Neighborhood was nice and clean. Never saw the neighbors. The house was cold in the early hours but we were not there long enough for it to be challenging. The house was impeccable. House is situated close enough to nearby attractions

Stress free vacation!

Colleen is such an amazing host!! Was available within minutes of any questions I had about the details of the home. The place is so clean and everything is brand new!! She even made sure to get a new keurig coffee machine to make coffee making easy!! I just couldn't ask for a more relaxing stress free visit to Asheville. Neighbors next door also super nice and are friendly. My dogs loved the fenced in yard and I enjoyed the comfy bed and super hot rainhead shower....oh and therevis no shortage of good quality pillows and lots of fuzzy blankets. You will absolutely love the Blue Bamboo as well as the great town of Asheville. I can't wait to book again next time.
