About this property

Retro Retreat with Hot Tub Near Downtown Asheville *Safe from Hurricane Helene*

Nestled among the trees on 3.5 wooded acres awaits a fully-renovated 1972 brick house for relaxed family and small group getaways. Handicap-friendly amenities and baby-safe accommodations ensure comfort and peace of mind for all guests. Spacious common areas allow your group to gather and spread out as desired. Just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, guests can conveniently explore nearby city, mountain, and river attractions, or stay in and enjoy the peaceful pace of the property.

Enjoy modern comfort and convenience accented with vintage nostalgia. This designer-renovated property amicably blends elevated decor, thoughtful amenities, and retro charm. Designed with small groups of friends and family in mind, The Woodland Ramble offers three bedrooms (4 beds), two full bathrooms, a fully-stocked kitchen, and large indoor and outdoor living areas.

You'll feel right at home from the moment you arrive: Around the dining table to enjoy a full home-cooked meal; On the extra large modular sofa for movie night; Outside on the back deck or playing in the yard; In the 6-person hot tub or around the fire-pit under the stars. Comfortable, quality furnishings, cozy bedrooms, and a gas log fireplace encourage rest and relaxation while locally thrifted gems, classic board games, and a curated vinyl collection invite you to play and reminisce. Custom designed textiles and artwork by the host create added whimsy in a nod to the home's 1970s build and its natural surroundings.

Careful attention to child and pet safety welcomes babies, toddlers, and four-legged guests to explore their surroundings. Single-level, open concept living/dining/kitchen, and a wheelchair-friendly bathroom with grab bars provides comfort and peace of mind for anyone with mobility restrictions. Outside, 3.5 lightly wooded acres provide ample room for everyone to safely roam and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Warmer months foster full privacy and the feeling of a remote setting while winter months provide a glimpse of the surrounding ridge lines.

Less than 1/2 mile from the Asheville city line, the property is situated in a more rural area where traffic is lighter, nights are quieter, and acreage provides more privacy. The closest neighbor is your host, to the left of the property. Nearby residents are quiet and peaceful. A remote-like setting paired with the convenience of being close to town keeps everyone in your group happy! Escape the traffic and noise while being close to shopping, dining, and your bucket list attractions like the Biltmore Estate, River Arts District, Pisgah National Forest, and more!

The property is very easy to get to and is Uber and Lyft-friendly. There are always taxis and ride-shares waiting near the Asheville Regional Airport except between the hours of 10 pm-5 am in which case it's best to schedule a ride in advance. Uber/Lyft rides to and from downtown Asheville, River Arts District, and West Asheville average $10-$20 each way depending on the time of day, peak seasons, and any special events happening in the area.

Oasis of Relaxation and Play

We stayed Dec 27-30 with another family (kids ranging 3-8 years). I can’t say enough great things1. Location: yes it’s a quick drive to downtown Asheville/River Arts/west Asheville and a huge Ingles grocery, but the location of the house is wonderfully quiet and on several acres of land, giving great privacy. 2. Communication: hosts are quick to respond. There are tasteful small signs and throughout to help with locating things like hot tub towels, washcloths for makeup, etc. There’s also the best website I’ve ever seen that has a house manual containing things like hot tub directions and links to buy decor you see in the home, restaurant recommendations, and things to do. 3. Decor/textiles: so well designed and stocked. In the listing it talks about the hosts wanting it to be a home away from home where you don’t have to worry about anything, and that is exactly how we felt because of the thought put into every item in this home. Often rentals have cheap sheets, blankets, towels, soaps, etc. but not The Woodland Ramble: ample bath towels and washcloths that were bright white, soft, and absorbent, sheets and blankets that made you want to stay in the comfy beds as long as possible, and pillow choices that a great night’s sleep was guaranteed. 4.Kitchen was beyond stocked and had shar4. Little things like kids’ toys and housewares prepped for us, bins for s’mores, local snacks and teas and honey, and Polaroids.

About the host

Hosted by Linsey Puckett

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Linsey. My husband Adam & I are committed to providing a safe place for guests to spend quality time together in a convenient, comfortable, and memorable space. As an artist, designer, and carpenter, we renovated the entire home ourselves in a way that harkens back to the home's 1972 build, weaving in custom textiles and artwork throughout. We adore this home and hope that everyone who stays here feels the love that's been poured into it.

Why they chose this property

We live next door and became close with the previous owners of this home and enjoyed all of its wonderful stories. They graciously offered us the opportunity to purchase it. Without hesitation, we happily took over the task of preserving this beautiful property as space for our visiting family and a place for others to spend quality time together and create new memories. We love the remote-like feeling of the property paired with is convenient location, the ease of going to and from, and the friendly wildlife that frequents the grounds. The house is in great shape and with a little TLC is now ready for decades of new stories!

What makes this property unique

This property is uniquely situated close to town but just far enough away for more privacy and quiet eventings. The house and outdoor areas offer plenty of room for guests to spread out and gather together as desired. Quality commercial-grade materials and furnishings make for a kid and dog friendly environment without sacrificing a luxury, well-designed aesthetic. We designed and renovated the entire property ourselves, including custom designed textiles and artwork that add 1970s charm and celebrate WNC's natural beauty. In addition to durable furnishings, we've also taken extra measures to ensure the space is safe for babies and toddlers to explore, and we offer high-chairs, cribs, toys, and more so that all ages feel at home here.
