About this property

Walk to Downtown & Many Neighborhood Amenities!


This property is generally a 30 DAY MINIMUM stay per zoning, however, at times I will consider an occasional shorter stay and just block out the calendar for the remainder (only do per 30 day period allowed). Inquire for specific rates/info on any shorter requests.

Here is a description:
This 2 BR/1BA stand alone house sits on a quiet 1/2 acre lot in the Chestnut Hills historic area. It was originally built in the 1950's as a caretaker cottage for the 6 unit Victorian apartment house in front. It can be accessed from the main driveway to the property or directly from the private alleyway behind (shared with 4 homes - including Servanthood House meditation center - very quiet and peaceful neighbors). Since this home is free-standing, there are no other tenants above or below you - making it a quiet space, in a serene spot with large trees.

This is truly an awesome location for enjoying all that Asheville offers! The neighborhood is one of historic homes, mostly built around 1920s or earlier, with several award winning bed-and-breakfasts within a block radius. You can walk to downtown from here (about 1/2 mile away) or get an easy Uber ride. There are also several wonderful restaurants right here in the neighborhood and a full selection of grocery stores within a couple of short blocks ("Greenlife"/Whole Foods, Trader'Joe's and Harris Teeter about 1-1/2 block). Asheville YOGA Center is 2 short blocks away so it's a great place to stay for their retreats! With all that is so close-by, you don't even need your car in this location.

The home is fully furnished and comfortably decorated. Hardwood floors make for charming space and easy care. Each bedroom has a queen bed, with bed linens included. Bath has been updated with vanity and storage. Kitchen is very large with maple cabinets and full appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, over-the-range microwave, disposal), and all basic dishes, utensils, pots, pans are included - as well as coffee maker, toaster, crock pot, hand mixer, blender...

The house has Central AC (not all rentals in the area have central AC due to age of homes).

Comfortable living room has a sleeper sofa and other furnishings, plus 40" tv with streaming stick (stream your own accts). There is one dedicated parking space in front of house for convenience, another space in back of house (adjacent to alley), and plenty of on-street parking in front of main house. Coin washer and dryer on premises in basement of apartment building (about 100 feet away - it's an old basement but does provide the on-site laundry option).

This is NOT set up as luxury accommodations. but as comfortable, quaint space that will make you feel like a local and live the true Asheville vibe! We do request that you respect the generally quiet atmosphere of the location and surroundings - no large or loud parties, please. No Smoking.

Some quick location info:
-Near tons of restaurants, galleries, shops/bookstore, breweries (and some fantastic handmade chocolate shops)
-Full selection of grocery within walking distance (Trader Joe's .1 mile, Greenlife/Whole Foods .2 m, Harris Teeter 500 feet!) with hot bars, salad bars, and ready made foods.

- The Asheville Yoga Center (1/10 mile walk from the back alley!)

About the host

Hosted by Sherri

Host profile image
I am an Asheville native and have renovated and restored property in North Asheville for about 25 years. Most of my property is traditional long term rental apartments, but I have set this property up as a vacation rental, because much of my time is away now. Having this as a vacation rental allows me to have a little place to come home to, while also providing a reasonably affordable spot for others to enjoy very close in to downtown.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property about 20 years ago, when the area and street were very run down. It has taken a lot of blood, sweat, tears, love (and money!) over the years, but I have restored and improved the entire apartment house and this "caretaker house". At one time, my dear aunt lived here in the little house, then my mother, so there are some special memories for me here. I enjoy the house myself when I am in town and I'm excited to now offer it as a vacation rental and help guests experience a slice of Asheville life. The location is PRIME for enjoying the city as well as the surrounding mountains.

What makes this property unique

With this property being tucked away on a quiet lot away from the street, it offers a serene retreat while still being so close to everything. Biltmore House entrance is about 3 miles away, downtown about 1/2 mile, Grove Park Inn is about 1-1/2 away - and there are SO many wonderful restaurants and shops that are easily walkable from here. Be sure to check out the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway for world class scenic vistas -- a great picnic drive and a fantastic way to beat the heat in the summer months (it will be 10-15 degrees cooler at places like Craggy Gardens-- a short and beautiful drive away).

For TRAVEL NURSES or healthcare professionals, Mission Hospital main campuses are about 2 miles away.

If you're here for some soulful restoration, Asheville Yoga Center is just over a block away. Just go around to the side steps and out the alleyway toward Liberty street (right at bottom of stairs), then left on Liberty. You'll run in to Yoga Center just down the street. One of my new favorite coffee shops just opened up right next door to them - Liberty House Cafe -- it's adorable and they have great coffee, plus a few other yummy treats. There are also meditation centers on East Chestnut (the next street behind the house).

Look up the Salt Cave downtown for additional soulful pampering - and enjoy a massage at one of the many facilities nearby (some right behind the house on Chestnut), or at one of the massage schools downtown for great student massages at incredible rates (when school is in session).
