Private, Quiet, Creative Retreat - Dog Friendly - 15 min to Downtown Asheville
Located just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville and minutes from Weaverville, this space offers the perfect balance of access and escape, close to restaurants, breweries, and the River Arts District, while still providing a quiet, peaceful place to unwind. The studio is ideal for guests who appreciate design, character, and a stay that feels a little different. Inside, you’ll find a bright, open living area with comfortable seating, a cozy king bedroom designed for restful nights, a fully equipped kitchenette for simple meals and morning coffee, a dining area for relaxing or planning your day, and a full bathroom with a shower/tub and fresh towels provided. Unique artwork and creative touches are woven throughout, along with a thoughtful doggy kit to help your pup feel at home. The painted plywood floors, artistic walls, and eclectic details reflect the building’s creative past and are part of what makes this stay special.
The property sits on a private, quiet road overlooking 50+ acres of rolling hills with long-range views, just 5 minutes from historic Weaverville where you can walk to local eateries, galleries, and small-town charm, with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, nearby breweries, and local art spots. It’s also walkable to Emerald Ridge Wedding Venue and just a 3-minute drive to JuneBug Retro Resort. Good to know: well-behaved dogs are welcome (and leashed outside at all times), and it’s designed for relaxing stays rather than parties or events, with easy, flexible self check-in, this is also a nonsmoking property.
There is also a second rental on the property, The Nook (VRBO Property Listing 5205584), a cozy tiny bungalow, perfect if you’re traveling with another couple or friends and want to stay nearby while still having your own space.

About the host
Hosted by Kara Schuler
I’m a marketing and brand strategist who fell in love with this area and created this space as a creative escape. I’ve always believed where you stay should feel intentional, not just functional. Hosting gives me the chance to share a place that feels inspiring, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed... whether you’re here to explore, unwind, or just reset for a few days.
Why they chose this property
This area offers the best of both worlds... quiet, scenic, and peaceful, while still being just minutes from Weaverville and a short drive to Asheville. I love the balance of mountain views, open space, and easy access to great food, local art, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. It feels tucked away, but never disconnected.
What makes this property unique
The Art Studio is exactly that... a former creative space turned stay. From the painted floors to the artistic details, it has a personality you won’t find in a typical rental. It’s designed to feel cozy, inspiring, and a little different, with thoughtful touches throughout (including for your dog). It’s a place to slow down, recharge, and maybe even feel a little more creative while you’re here.
