About this property

Carriage House of the Blake House w/free Biltmore Pass and more

Enjoy FREE activities every day with Pete Key Properties, including Biltmore, Skiing, Rock Wall, Zipline, Whitewater Rafting, Trampoline Park, and Timber Axe Throwing.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not serve breakfast. Located in South Asheville just minutes to downtown, and convenient to attractions like Sierra Nevada, Twelve Bones South and Jake Rusher Park. South Asheville is quickly becoming a "must see" destination in its own right, and we are right in the middle of it.

When we first discovered that the historic Blake House was for sale, we thought that living here was just a dream. But our dream has come true and we are excited to be sharing it with guests.

Welcome to the Carriage House, located on the upstairs level of the carriage house behind the main house. Please note there is a staircase. The bathroom is accessible only through the master bedroom so please be aware of this before booking. It is beautiful, sunny, comfy and delightful. We have spent a great deal of time and effort to make it perfect, and we hope you will love it as much as we do.

We are close to the Biltmore House, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the NC Arboretum, Pisgah National Forest and the Folk Art Center. We are convenient to the airport. The nearby towns of Hendersonville and Brevard are both about a 30 minute drive, making them great destinations for a day trip.

Our family lives in the main house, so please be aware that the front porch area is our family space and not accessible to guests. We invite you to enjoy the patio area and to walk around and enjoy the grounds. We hope you enjoy your stay, and we look forward to hosting your visit!

We are so excited to host your visit! The Pete Key Properties team welcomes you and is here to help create a memorable experience. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or need anything at all. We look forward to seeing you soon!

I’m hesitant to write this review because I want to keep this place to myself. It was wonderful. You could just bring your clothes and make yourself at home. Fully stocked kitchen and living combo with two bedrooms and an entry way. It was very clean and owners are very friendly. I would definitely recommend.

Hidden gem
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third stay at the historical Blake Carriage House. It was clean, comfortable and convenient to Biltmore, the River Arts District and downtown Asheville. Also, it is very close to our favorite breakfast spot, Biscuit Head. As noted in the description, the bathroom can only be accessed through the bedroom. This was not a problem for us, but might be problematic for others. Communication and instructions were good. Will recommend to friends and hope to stay there again in the future.

Place was very clean, close to everything we wanted to do, very comfortable stay. It was very cold when we were there, we enjoyed the hot water, and the water pressure is good also. We also met the owner who was very nice. We would definitely stay again.

GREAT FAMILY TIME
Lets start by saying it is a good location with shopping and resturants within minutes. We had a wonderful at the " Vintage Market" . Enjoyed some great family time. The only thing bad was being from the country we are used to it being dark when trying to sleep... the master has blinds which worked fine but they do let in alot of light. Thanks for having us would stay again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Owner/Manager was great: very helpful in helping us find family friendly places to eat (Rocky's Hot Chicken Shack, Fahrenheit Pizza), as well as general information about the Asheville area. Within 10 minutes from the Biltmore Estate entrance. Property is well maintained, and clean. Would recommend this to friends and family!

Charming & Comfortable
Absolutely loved this charming cottage. It was beautiful, comfortable, and in a great location. It was convenient to everything we wanted to do in the Asheville area. We had our 17 month old with us & it was so convenient to have a second bedroom for her and doors that would keep her off the stairs landing. We had everything we needed. Great for a group of 3 or 4.
