My husband, our 5 month old son and I enjoyed this property for our first weekend trip as a family of three. The condo was clean and the bed/pillows were very comfortable. We parked in a parking garage behind the building and didn’t touch our car while we were there. The location is incredible! Highly recommend the broccolini egg and cheese biscuit from Flour for breakfast and the original chicken sandwich from Buxtons for lunch. The fact that they are downstairs is a major perk! We will be staying here again!

About the host

Hosted by Ames DeVore

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Ames! A Western North Carolina native with deep roots in the mountains I call home. I’ve been in the vacation rental industry for 8 years and am the proud owner of DeVore Property Management, specializing in creating memorable stays for travelers across WNC.

Beyond hospitality, I’m Ma to an adventurous, curly-haired 8-year-old, two independent felines, and a thriving collection of 50+ houseplants (yes, I have a slight obsession!). I love café motorcycles, outdoor adventures, desert road trips, and anything houseplant-related.

Hosting is more than just a business for me—it’s about curating experiences that make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, I strive to create thoughtfully designed, inviting spaces that reflect the beauty and charm of WNC.

I look forward to hosting you and sharing a little piece of these mountains I love!

Why they chose this property

As a native of Western North Carolina and an enthusiast of Art Deco architecture, managing this condo in Asheville's historic S&W Building was a natural choice for me. Designed by renowned architect Douglas Ellington and completed in 1929, the S&W Building stands as a testament to Asheville's rich architectural heritage. Its intricate details and timeless elegance have always captivated me.

The building's current owners have shown exceptional dedication to preserving its historical significance while revitalizing its role as a community hub. Their passion for maintaining the building's legacy aligns perfectly with my own values, making our collaboration deeply rewarding.

Nestled in the heart of downtown Asheville, the S&W Building offers unparalleled access to the city's vibrant culture. From the lively arts scene and diverse culinary offerings to unique boutiques and entertainment venues, the neighborhood embodies the dynamic spirit of Asheville. Being part of this community allows me to share the area's rich history and contemporary charm with guests, providing them with an authentic Asheville experience.

In essence, my decision to manage this condo stems from a profound appreciation for architectural beauty, a commitment to preserving cultural heritage, and a desire to offer guests an immersive stay in Downtown Asheville.

What makes this property unique

This S&W Building loft stands out with its rare blend of historic charm, unbeatable location, and personalized hospitality. Unlike typical rentals, it’s inside one of Asheville’s most iconic Art Deco landmarks, offering a stay that’s both stylish and connected to the city’s history.

With elevator access to the S&W Market, guests can enjoy some of Asheville’s best food and craft beer just steps away—no car needed. The loft is thoughtfully designed with locally made furnishings, high-end comfort, and beautiful mountain sunset views.

As a WNC native and experienced host, I provide a seamless experience with local recommendations and responsive support. For a one-of-a-kind Asheville stay that blends charm, convenience, and character, this is it.
