GETTING HERE This peaceful 4-house neighborhood sits on a private road, less than 9 miles from major sites like The Biltmore Estate and Downtown Asheville. There are no treacherous, windy, twisty, edge-of-cliff mountain roads to get here! It is right off flat main roads. No need to worry! There are no major drop-offs or hard-to-navigate situations! Unlike many STR's in the Asheville area, you won't be gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles or sweating at the brow to get to The Nest!
PARKING Garage (2 vehicles), driveway space (4 vehicles), additional overflow parking lot nearby. We are not able to accommodate oversized or heavy work vehicles like dump trucks. Work crews, please find other arrangements for your construction vehicles.
SUPER CLEAN WITH THE GUEST IN MIND With your health and well-being in mind, The Nest is thoroughly cleaned by the same professionals before each check-in!
The Nest is about a mile outside the Asheville city limits. Asheville laws do not allow people inside city limits to rent out their entire house exclusively as a short-term rental. Legally, it must be their primary residence that they rent when they're out of town, for instance. The Nest is exclusively a rental home, so you won't find personal photos on the walls, used toothpaste in the bathroom drawers, or half-used mustard in the fridge.
Due to sanitation and safety, we do not provide grills at our properties.
There is a full-size crib (sheet not provided) and guests are welcome to bring pack-n-plays.
ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATIONS We have a strict maximum guest count of 16 at each of our properties. If you need even more space, check out our other offerings! The Hive, which also sleeps 16, is located directly next door to The Nest. Additionally, The Corral (by request only) is directly across from The Nest!
We are looking forward to hosting your group! We are seasoned hosts with excellent reviews!

About the host
Hosted by Andrea Bishop
Hi, I'm Andrea! My husband, Brian, and I have called Asheville home since 2001. We're high school sweethearts from Raleigh, married just two weeks after graduating from NC State, and now parents to five kids ranging from middle school to their early 20's. Life in this season is full - teenagers coming and going, college visits, family dinners, movie nights, hikes, and the everyday chaos that makes a home feel alive. We're ordinary people who love our family, love our church and community, and genuinely love welcoming guests into spaces we've poured our hearts into.
Hosting has become one of the most meaningful parts of our life here. We take it seriously - not in a stiff or formal way, but in a way that reflects how much we care about people. We want every guest to feel seen, valued and comfortable. Cleanliness is one of our highest priorities, and we work hard to prepare each home with the same attention we'd want if we were the ones arriving after a long day of travel.
We created The Hive, The Nest, and The Canyon because we believe travel should feel special. Whether you're celebrating a bachelorette weekend, gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply taking a quiet break, we want your stay to feel peaceful, easy, and full of thoughtful touches. We love designing spaces that help people slow down, laugh together, and make memories that last.
We love people and more than anything, we hope to be a blessing to every group that stays with us. It's an honor each time someone chooses our homes, and we're grateful for the chance to share this beautiful community with you!
Why they chose this property
Our homes sit in one of those rare pocket neighborhoods in Asheville that feels peaceful the moment you arrive. Surrounded by mature trees and greenery, the area has a calm, settled energy that guests immediately notice. It's quiet without feeling isolated, and private without feeling remote. It's the kind of place where mornings feel slow and calm, evenings feel cozy, and groups can relax without distraction.
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds: a sense of safety, comfort, and breathing room, while still being incredibly convenient. You can reach downtown, at the Biltmore Estate, breweries, restaurants, and hiking trails in minutes, yet, when you return home, it feels like you're stepping into your own private retreat. Guests often tell us they love how easy it is to get around without dealing with the congestion or noise that comes with staying in the center of town.
The fenced-in yards and the layout of our four-home cluster make the neighborhood especially welcoming for families, bachelorette groups, and multi-generational gatherings. Kids can play outside, friends can linger on the porch, and everyone can spread out without feeling crowded. The homes sit on a quiet private road shared by only a handful of neighbors, creating a warm, safe environment where guests feel comfortable arriving late, walking outside, or enjoying time together outdoors.
What we enjoy most is the balance: peaceful surroundings, thoughtful privacy, and effortless access to everything Asheville offers. It's a neighborhood that feels cared for, lived-in, and genuinely inviting, the perfect backdrop for the kind of stays people remember long after they leave.
What makes this property unique
You won't find another stay in Asheville quite like ours. Across our three adjacent homes, The Hive, The Nest, and The Canyon, we've created a place where groups can gather, celebrate, reconnect, and make memories in spaces that feel intentionally designed, joyfully decorated, and genuinely cared for.
Guests consistently tell us that our homes feel different the moment they walk in. Every room has personality, color, and purpose. From the playful luxury of the Nest to the maximalist glam of The Hive, to the cozy modern warmth of The Canyon, we design with heart, not trends, and it shows. Nothing is generic. Nothing is cookie-cutter Every detail is chosen to spark delight.
Cleanliness is one of our highest values, and guests often comment that our homes are among the cleanest they've ever stayed in. We take hospitality seriously. It's truly our passion. And we want every guest to feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for. Whether it's a bachelorette weekend, a family reunion, a milestone birthday, or a quiet getaway, our goal is to make your stay effortless and memorable.
What makes us stand out is a combination of thoughtful design, exceptional cleanliness, abundant amenities, and genuine hospitality. We don't just offer a place to sleep; We offer an experience. A place where groups can spread out, come together, laugh, play, relax, and create the kind of moments that become stories you tell for years.
If you're looking for a stay that feels special, intentional, and full of personality, you'll feel right at home here.
