Great location and house layout. Only two beds, both King, but several pullout sofas which were fine for kids. Loved the porch and swings. Nice big kitchen and dining room table for a group.

Please come back. We would love to host your family again.
We stayed in this house for a wedding weekend. The location is great. The front porch is amazing. It was the perfect set up for my husband, kids, and I to be upstairs and his parents to take the downstairs

Beautiful craftsman home in downtown AVL!
This beautiful craftsman home, within walking distance of downtown and grocery stores, was the perfect place to host friends visiting AVL! Belle, the owner, is wonderful to work with and prompt to answering any and all questions! I highly recommend this property and look forward to staying there again!

Glad you enjoyed your stay. We would love to have you back.
Our family had a fantastic time staying in this centrally located home. Very clean, and 2 minutes from everything. Grove park, Liberty Cafe, Taco Temple etc.. I would highly recommend staying here with family/friends.
We enjoyed our stay in Asheville. The house is wonderfully located -- walking distance to grocery stores and downtown. Kitchen is well stocked. We had a great weekend!
The home offers a ton of space, and we especially enjoyed the huge front porch with the two porch swings and the large kitchen and dining area, which is where we mostly gathered. It's in a great neighborhood and only about a 10 minute walk to downtown along some scenic streets. Would definitely stay here again!

This house was perfect for a girl’s weekend. It’s only about a mile to downtown Asheville and grocery stores are across the street. It’s clean, tidy and charming.

Convenient location, spacious, lovely outdoor space
We had a great stay in Asheville here. The house is roomy and lovely. We were traveling with four generations, and we were able to walk to downtown sites or hop in the car to explore the surrounding area. With choices for groceries just down the block, we enjoyed cooking and eating on the back deck. We'd definitely stay here again!
We had a great weekend. Home is clean and very conveniently located to grocery stores and activities
I would recommend this home for use when staying in Asheville. We were here for a wedding at Homewood. The home is very conveniently located and clean. Great kitchen and dining area. Loved the porch swings.
The house is perfect for a
large group to hang out and be together. Communication with owner and property manager easy and incredibly responsive. An easy walk into town during the day. Recommend!!

A cute, cozy house with a great location close to downtown
Belle took very good care of us during our stay at her place in Asheville. The house is very clean, neat, and comfortable. We had everything we needed (except extra toilet paper), and if we didn't, Trader Joe's and Harris Teeter are right down the street. We felt safe at all times! We loved the porch swings, the beds were comfy, and the bathrooms were very clean. This is a great place to stay!

Great beautiful vintage house, close to town
We had a great time at this house. It is just as lovely as the pictures.
Just a note, the third bedroom with the pull out isn't really a great bedroom if, for example you're sleeping 3 adult couples. I could see it as a kids room.
The location is superb, just moments from so many things including all of downtown. But the location is no better than the house itself and the way things are done by property management. Almost astonishingly clean; thoughtfully setup; great AC; back deck table with umbrella; broad front porch; plenty of parking...just ideal. And the house is a nice older house with character galore.

Lovely house close to downtown.
This home is just perfect. Recently renovated to provide every comfort, it still possesses its historic charm. Only a ten minute walk to all the restaurants and shopping downtown. Across the street from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Harris Teeter. Kitchen was stocked with all the best appliances and equipment. Lots of room to spread out and relax.
