About this property

Top rated w/recent upgrades! Near Biltmore & downtown, fire pit, dog friendly

As of January 2025 we have 274, 5-star reviews out of 276 total!!! There is a reason :) This 2,000 sq. ft. home, built by the owners in 2016, is very private yet close to it all. The common areas are spacious and open . . . ideal for sharing time together and relaxing. The living room has very comfortable seating, a gas fireplace and TV. The wood dining table is BIG, and includes 8 chairs. The kitchen has a large island with "breakfast bar" seating, clean stainless steel appliances and white cabinets filled with a wide range of cooking supplies, utensils, etc.. We outfitted the bedrooms with super comfortable mattresses and soft cotton and micro-fiber sheets, along with quality dressers and nightstands. The bathrooms, with granite vanity countertops, stay sparkling clean! We created a "hang-out" room in the upper level (with 50" flat screen TV). For your outdoor time we fenced in the back yard where we have a patio, table and chairs, gas grill and a beautiful fire pit surrounded by boulders and landscaping. It's just one of those places that feels good both inside and out, and we'd love you stay with us!

Centrally located, the home is just 4 miles to downtown Asheville, 2 miles to the Biltmore Estate and Village. Shopping, groceries and multiple restaurants are within 2 miles and less than 2 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway, I-240 and I-40. Everything around Asheville is quick and easy from our location!

Pet policy: though we love all animals, due to allergies we allow dogs only and just one per booking. If you plan to bring a dog there is a $100 fee . . . please be sure to check the box that you will be bringing a pet.

Book our home and you will see why our guests' ratings have put us in the TOP 1% most highly rated short-term rentals in Asheville.

Great House for a weekend stay

We had a great experience with the owners and thier property. The house had everything we needed for a long weekend trip with three couples. The owners told us what was and wasn't included at the property ahead of time, which allowed us to pack properly. XL Uber rides to downtown took around 10 mins and ran between 8-15 while we were there. We'd highly recommend the home to others planning a long weekend away to Asheville.

Great Property

This was by far the cleanest property we have ever stayed in. The home is spacious and comfortable for six adults, including my pets. The owners are incredibly reliable and respond quickly to your needs. Location is great. Close to all major areas. Grocery store and amenities are all just a very short drive away. Neighborhood is also quiet, and the residents were all friendly.

Return to Asheville

We lived in Asheville 13 years ago and were ready to come back for a visit. This home was the perfect location for us to visit the Asheville area that we love so much. It is a central location and easy to access. The home is well furnished and so comfortable. There is plenty of room and the beds and couches are so nice. We loved this home. The host family was prompt and so accommodating. We highly recommend this home

Clean, great location, comfortable, peaceful

We enjoyed a great family vacation in this comfortable home in a great location. We were close to adventures at the Biltmore, Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville, and French Broad River. We were able to enjoy healthy, home cooked/grilled meals everyday and do our dirty laundry after our outdoor adventures. It was perfect for us! Quiet, comfortable, spacious, and convenient!

Peaceful and comfortable getaway

Big, new, comfortable home! Excellent layout, big spaces for gathering in the kitchen, dining room, living room and upstairs game room - with plenty of privacy between bedrooms. Well equipped kitchen and easy access to laundry closet. The fire pit outside is perfect for s'mores at night or coffee in the morning. Tucked away in a sweet, quiet neighborhood but only 10 - 20 minutes from popular spots in Asheville. Highly recommend for big families or couples!

MiddleAged Mountainbikers Paradise

Property was perfect for our party of 5(ended up as 4) second half of our group rented on same street. Was perfect for our long weekend as home base to enjoy Asheville and the Brevard/DuPont Area. Owner was extremely communicative as we had a little reservation hiccup that was handled with grace and a quick return call to help locate the fuse box. Linens Kitchen etc were all well appointed. Back yard fire pit was nice space to chill in the evenings. Only feedback would be to upgrade the 2nd bath showerhead and window dressings might make some guest more comfortable. Thank You to the owners - we'll likely return!

Wonderful experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely clean and spacious home! Very well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, puzzles and games, and convenient location to all Asheville has to offer made our trip exceptional. Very quiet location in a nice neighborhood. Several other reviews mentioned the lack of a bathroom upstairs and if you are traveling with all adults, that may be an issue. We would highly recommend this home!

About the host

Hosted by Dave Ulrichs

Host profile image
Elyse and Dave have lived in Asheville since 2002. They love living here and are excited to have a place for people to stay when visiting this amazing town.

Why they chose this property

In 2016 we set out to find the perfect lot on which to build a brand new vacation rental property. Being a general contractor allowed Dave to design a warm, cozy home and make it a reality. Construction took place through the Summer of 2016 and the finishing touches were done in September. We hope you love this home as much as we do!
