About this property
Sleeps 16 · 13 Min to Downtown · Hot Tub & Arcade
Summary:
Ideal for large family stays and multigenerational groups, this spacious Blue Ridge house blends roomy communal areas with an upstairs dedicated workspace so work and play flow without crowding. Relax evenings in the private outdoor hot tub and fire pit or challenge each other in the game lounge, then drive a short 13-minute trip into downtown Asheville for dining and galleries. Free driveway parking and pet-friendly policies add extra convenience.
Guest Access:
Private whole-house access with no shared spaces and no host on site - your group can use every room and all outdoor areas. Self check-in is available any time after 4pm via a smart lock; we send the entry code and a guest guide with Wi‑Fi details, house info, and local recommendations before arrival. Free driveway parking fits about 4 to 5 vehicles for easy arrivals and departures. Before check-in you'll be asked to sign a short rental agreement and verify your ID online; we send those requests before arrival and they must be completed prior to check-in, and the online ID step is usually quick. There are about 15 steps to reach the downstairs area, and pets are allowed when added to the reservation so fees are applied correctly - please also respect quiet hours for our neighbors.
The Neighborhood:
The Neighborhood:
**The Vibe**
A well-established residential neighborhood that offers a peaceful atmosphere ideal for families and pet owners. The house sits in the Blue Ridge Mountains area, so days feel more relaxed and evenings are quieter than downtown. Expect neighbors on both sides and local wildlife like black bears, wild turkeys, and deer to be part of the environment. The host asks guests to observe quiet hours to respect the community.
**Dining & Cafés**
Nearby options include local cafes and small shops reachable within a ten-minute drive for morning coffee or quick bites. For a wider variety of restaurants and more dining choices, downtown Asheville is about a 13-minute drive. The guest guide includes local recommendations to help you find specific spots.
**Things to Do**
Access to outdoor activities and downtown attractions is a feature: local parks and shops are within a short drive, and Asheville’s offerings are close by. The property itself adds evening entertainment with an arcade-style game system, shuffleboard, and a private hot tub, plus a fire pit and BBQ for group time. Guests can combine on-site fun with day outings into the region.
**Day Trips & Nearby Towns**
Short drives unlock regional highlights: downtown Asheville in about 13 minutes, the Biltmore Estate in about 26 minutes, and nearby mountain towns within easy driving distance. The location in the Blue Ridge Mountains also makes scenic drives and short mountain excursions practical from the house. Use the guest guide for tailored day-trip suggestions.
**Who It Suits Best**
Great for larger groups and families since the home sleeps up to 16 and offers multiple living areas and parking for several cars. Also convenient for pet owners who need a quiet neighborhood and outdoor space, provided pets are included on the reservation. Best for guests who are comfortable driving to explore Asheville and who will respect quiet hours and local wildlife.
Getting Around:
Easy driving access to regional hubs: about 13 minutes to downtown Asheville and roughly 26 minutes to the Biltmore Estate, with Black Mountain also a short drive away. The property includes free driveway parking that fits 4-5 vehicles, which makes it simple for groups or multiple cars. Check yourself in after 4pm with a smart lock code, and you’ll receive a guest guide before arrival with wifi details and local recommendations. Public transit is not detailed in the listing, so plan for driving.
Other Things to Note:
→ Short rental agreement and ID verification sent after booking for predictable check-in - complete both online in a few minutes before arrival so we can issue your smart lock code and avoid delays

→ About 15 steps to access the downstairs portion of the house - please consider mobility needs when booking

→ Quiet hours 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM - please keep outdoor noise and music low during these hours out of respect for neighbors

This is our second stay at this property and our fourth at one of their properties. Communication and check-in/out ease are probably the two top priorities for me, and Eric and Jennifer nail it! The property provides all the essentials and comfort for our extended family. The master bedroom king is especially comfortable.
Great location outside Ashville. Easy drive to downtown. Comfortable for our large group. Would have loved some more time we had a quick one night stay.
Our extended family convened here on our way to Oak Island. Property had so much room! Beds were really comfortable, and the downstairs is great for families with kids. Love that it is pet friendly.
