Home away from home
My coworker recommended Barley Bungalow for a potential vacation and it was a fantastic recommendation! From the initial time I booked to the end of our vacation the communication, resources, cleanliness of the house, location, and safety have been top notch! We brought our five person family ( 2 adults, kids ages 10, 8, 5) and my parents (ages in their 70s) and the place suited all of us so comfortably! My parents were so impressed with the place and felt right at home. The host Jocelyn communicated so timely and promptly and provided an abundance amount of resources! It helped me plan a fun vacation for everyone in our group. She even notified me of bear sightings from the outside ring camera! My boys were playing outside so it was wonderful that she could tell us timely of any issues/animals around. The house was very well kept and stocked with everything you could need. I want to thank Jocelyn and her family for letting us stay at their home. When we visit Asheville again we will be staying here!

College graduation trip
The house was extremely nice, clean, well equipped with all needed items, and in a quite neighborhood. Nice porch on the front of the house and deck on the back where we enjoyed drinking coffee and hanging out. Very small neighborhood if you prefer to walk around the neighborhood you have to make laps. The house is located about 10 minutes from downtown so you you need a car to get around. It was everything we needed for a weekend stay.

Great Rental
This house was clean and comfortable, and the family enjoyed our stay. Nespresso machine was a hit. Great front porch! We even saw a bear in the neighborhood - a highlight since we had never seen one. Neighborhood is quiet yet location is close to Blue Ridge Parkway and I-40, so it was easy getting around the area for our exploring.

Weekend Away
Second visit to this wonderful home for our family of 5. Highly recommend for family’s or couples visiting the area. The owner is great to work with, and over communicates to ensure your stay is fantastic. Can’t say enough about the home’s amenities and the feeling of “home” while staying. Look forward to visiting soon. Very clean, quiet neighborhood, comfortable beds, Nespresso!, and several supplies for your stay.

About the host

Host profile image
After a workaholic decade in the medical field running my own practices, I decided to take a step back and spend more quality time with my family. Though I love being at home with our children, I really missed providing a quality experience for patients and wanted to be able to recreate that in a different field. Managing a short term vacation rental allows me to be a professional once again while balancing my home life. I am so happy to be able to share Barley's Bungalow and I hope that I've helped provide a space in which you can make your own special memories when you visit.

Why they chose this property

I have been enamored with North Carolina since I first visited as a teenager. Several trips to North Carolina and Asheville in 2020 cemented my desire to want to spend more time here. We love Asheville and love the mountains so we had a difficult time deciding exactly where the best fit would be. This property really allows us the best of both worlds. We lost our sweet dog Barley in 2021. It was always my plan to name this home after her. After we purchased the home, I browsed some photos my realtor took and found a sticky note on the refrigerator that said the old WiFi information. When I zoomed in, I could see that the previous randomly assigned WiFi password began with "barley". She was a sweet dog who wasn't especially extroardinary in any way, but boy was she so loved. Barley enjoyed watching birds out the window. The watching and listening at this home is peacefully perfect. Serendepity. We hope the memories you make in this home fill your heart with joy.

What makes this property unique

Coffee drinkers rejoice! We have many preparation options for you at Barley's Bungalow including a Nespresso Vertuo with pods provided.

Well-stocked kitchen includes: hand mixer, blender, slow cooker, toaster, mixing bowls, baking sheets, and a wok
