Fun property in a great location!

A great house with wonderful amenities! We had fun with foosball, ping pong, and darts on the back porch. The bedrooms were comfortable and overall the house was clean. Location is quiet and minutes away from downtown Asheville. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Monica’s Place (Asheville)

We had a lovely stay with our dog. We explored the city, having dinner at one of the many local restaurants. So many choices! Monica’s place was perfect for morning coffee on the breezy porch and evening respite with a fire. The hot tub was an extra treat for unwinding before bed. We could have brought our adult kids as there were plenty of space. The house was fully stocked with anything you might need, including all things for cooking. We enjoyed everything.

Awesome house close to downtown

I was celebrating my 50th birthday with a group of friends. This house was perfect for all of us. Plenty of space, very comfortable and cozy house with everything you need to have a great stay. The beds were very comfortable as well. It was very easy and cheap to get Ubers to downtown and back. I would absolutely stay at this house again. Everyone agreed it was a place we'd like to come back to every year! Monica was a great host, so friendly and welcoming and very responsive.

About the host

Hosted by Monica Tilhou

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Monica and thank you for reading about my precious property!

I grew up north of Chicago and relocated to this vibrant city in 2010. I bought this home and have been enjoying the process of continually transforming it into a real beauty! Throughout the remodeling process, I’ve been able to decorate it as a very appealing and highly satisfying home.

My life's work/project- my 3 wonderful adult kids and 5 grandkids- were the inspiration for this remodeling project! Because I want to keep them visiting me here, I had the incentive to make this a warm, yet somewhat “luxurious” mountain retreat!

I travel occasionally but will usually be here in town at a nearby home during your stay. It's always a pleasure to greet guests and welcome them to my home, so I look forward to meeting you and showing you around the house and grounds personally- it would be my pleasure!

I truly hope you enjoy your stay- your days and nights (on the front porch with a fire!?) while you're here in lovely Asheville!

Why they chose this property

As I searched for a home close to town to purchase, I was drawn immediately to this lovely, picturesque spot overlooking a pond and facing an evergreen mountain that fills the view! I knew I had to live here!

So, after purchasing it in the Spring of 2013, I undertook dramatic renovations which have brought great response and delight to family and visitors alike. It's been great fun!

I'm proud of the place and pleased to offer a home of this caliber so close to town... 5 minutes! Great views, large front porch, back “games” porch, gourmet kitchen, 6-7 person new hot tub and a secluded front and backyard.

Also, if you are arriving from several directions, easy parking for up to four cars is available at the house with a seperate turnaround green space.

What makes this property unique

This home is perfect for a family get-together out in the woods w/ a terrific view

While enjoying the Living Room, relax on the long leather sofa with extra seating. The room features a candelabra, a mountain-view and often a roaring fireplace!
Piano in the dining room for music lovers~
Great neighborhood for walking, too! Three laps around the pond below is about a mile!

A slow, one-way path around this pond takes you through our quiet, little neighborhood.
Please observe a 10pm curfew on loud,outdoor gatherings. Revelry on the front porch or up in the acres of woods above carries an echo "heard all 'round the pond!". So do, please, respect this curfew each evening. Thanks so much!
