Graceful with historic southern charm, "Ruby" will welcome your group to feel right at home. Hardwood floors and features found in older southern homes such as a front porch swing for evening visits and a yard fenced with white pickets, all blend with modern conveniences to create a wonderful 'home base' for your mountain getaway.
Located in an older established neighborhood, you will be minutes from various mountain adventures including the new Chestnut Mountain Bike Park (also great for hiking), the Blue Ridge Parkway, historic Downtown Canton, downtown Waynesville, Maggie Valley and the world renowned Biltmore Estate. The home and location are idyllic and will be a place you will return to, for years to come!
We believe "Ruby" is a wonderful space to share with your family. One bedroom is located on the main level and three additional bedrooms are located upstairs. Bathrooms are located on both levels. The main living area is great for gathering together at the end of the day with a conversation friendly, an almost open floor plan between the living and dining areas.
If work demands your attention, the front office space abounds with a windows and a handsome desk and office chair that will provide a suitable space for responding to those pesky corporate emails. This front office is created with the business traveler in mind and may have you asking, 'can I work remote' the rest of the year!
The kitchen is outfitted with your group or family in mind and has all you will need to prepare dinner for the entire bunch (except groceries of course!). And the nespresso coffee maker is just what you need to get the day started or to wind down after a day full of sightseeing.
And of course we must mention the outdoor spaces ~ enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch or the back screened porch. The front porch will transport you back to a simpler time as you enjoy a beverage on the front porch swing or rocking in the rocker. The back porch is great for your evening meal and don't worry about mosquitos because its screened in. You may even see a squirrel or two playing in the trees!

My husband & I went to Canton for a wedding shower. We both loved the house. It is close to my son’s house, so that’s a plus. House was very clean and comfortable. I especially loved sitting on the front porch!! This is my second time staying & will definitely stay again.
The property was very nice. Very inviting and it suited ours needs perfectly. We had came down for a wedding and had a small reunion with siblings. The place was very clean and the communications were excellent.
The house is on a quiet street. The beds are comfortable and it is cozy. It had a couple of great restaurants just a few minutes away. Very clean and homey.
Extremely happy with this rental. Older updated home, spacious, very clean, peaceful and quiet neighbor which was great for sitting on the front porch or the back screened porch with family. Had everything you needed. Couldn’t have been happier with the communication with the owner. Would definitely rent again. Loved it!
We enjoyed staying in this charming and cozy Vrbo rental during our annual mountain trip. Very clean home, well-appointed, and quiet neighborhood. Host was responsive and provided detailed check-in and check-out instructions. Very convenient to Asheville, the Smoky Mountains, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Perfect size for 6 adults. My elderly parents (80 and 81) had a little trouble navigating from the driveway to the doors as there was no sidewalk. And the stairs leading to the second story were a little tricky without a handrail. But we managed and had a great vacation.
This was my first time staying at this property! My sisters & I had come to town to throw my sons’d fiancé a wedding shower at Souther Porch!! We loved the house! It was easy to get into, had everything we needed & was very comfortable!! Our favorite was sitting in the front porch & drinking coffee in the awesome swing on the front porch!! We will definitely be back!

Thank you for the kind words Libby! We are so glad you all enjoyed your stay!
Very clean home and comfortable beds for everyone in our group. The house was in a very quiet neighborhood and conveniently located to the Interstate, making it easy to travel to local sites and hiking trails. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The owner left snacks and Nespresso pods, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. Overall a great stay and we would definitely consider staying here again when we are in the area.
We came to Asheville for a destination Wedding. The house works perfectly for our group. The location is quiet and only minutes away from the wedding venue; short drive to downtown Asheville and entrance to the Blue Ridge Mountain Scenic Parkway. The house is nicely furnished and well stocked. It was very thoughtful for the owner to leave a basket full of snacks and even stamped postcard. We had a comfortable and enjoyable staycation.
