This cozy home was perfect for our visit to Asheville. 2 bathrooms made everything much easier for everyone and the kitchen was equipped well enough that we could prepare simple meals, coffee and snacks. The front porch was the best part with a beautiful view of the mountains in the mornings and evenings. I’ll definitely stay here again.

Robena’s place was absolutely adorable. Very well kept, clean, and the cutest place ever! It was very obvious that this house is well cherished by the family, it felt like a classic farmhouse with a beautiful Mountain View. We are already trying to plan our next visit!

We loved staying in the cottage for the past few days. Very convenient to everything Asheville has to offer. The house was well represented in the listing. If you love a comfy house, and a beautiful view this is a great spot.

Inviting and Relaxing

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Robena's Place. We spent a lot of time on the front porch which had a beautiful and relaxing view. The bedrooms were well furnished and decorated. This felt more like a home than just a rental. Highly recommended.

This is a charming bungalow with a view of the mountains from the front porch, yard swing and hammock. Everything worked and the house was very clean, the beds were super comfortable, both bathrooms were well stocked with towels, and the washer and dryer were a definite plus. It is a quiet location that was easy to find and close to everything we wanted to see and do. Hostess was extremely helpful and responsive; highly recommend this rental.

Great location, cute home

Robena’s Place is located conveniently located to downtown Asheville and the Biltmore House, easy drive. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch sipping our coffees in the morning. Very peaceful. There were a couple of things that detracted from our stay. We ran short on toilet paper, there were no spare rolls, just 1 in each bathroom, One of the bedrooms had musty smelling sheets, as if the linen was not completely dried before removing from the dryer, it made it difficult to sleep with that smell. Finally, there was no bar soap or body wash. We didn’t realize we needed to bring our own soap, we had to go buy some.

Excellent location close to Biltmore, Blue Ridge Parkway, Craggy Garden Flats, downtown. The house is clean and well appointed, very comfortable beds and luxurious bath! The front porch faces a very private yard with a Mountain View, wonderful morning coffee spot.

We enjoyed our stay at Robena's. Checking in was super easy. The setting was beautiful, and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch. The kitchen, while small, had what we needed to make a few meals. All the beds were very comfortable. The location was convenient for our visit to the Biltmore as well as to going downtown. Everything we needed. Overall, a great stay.

Beautiful and sentimental

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! This Vrbo was the perfect mountain retreat for our group of friends attending a wedding in Asheville. The house was incredibly clean, cozy, and well-stocked—everything from kitchen essentials to extra blankets. The view from the deck was absolutely stunning, especially in the morning with a cup of coffee. There was plenty of space for all of us to relax, and the layout made it easy to enjoy time together while still having room for privacy when we needed it. The location was also ideal—peaceful and tucked away, but just a short drive into downtown Asheville. The hosts were responsive and thoughtful, making check-in and communication a breeze. We’d absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for any group looking for a beautiful and comfortable mountain escape!

Nice Asheville country visit

The property is a nicely decorated country home. I found it very nice to be away from the city but yet just a short drive to downtown Asheville. The kitchen is nicely supplied with everything you need for cooking and the washer and dryer are very nice which was very handy. The living room and bedrooms have their own TV’s which was very nice addition. I personally had difficulty with the mattress being a bit lumpy along with the living room couch and chairs losing their buoyancy. We definitely enjoyed our stay and believe with some small updates this would be a fantastic 5 star accommodation.

Perfect getaway

Had a great stay. The location was convenient to town, but secluded enough to give it a mountain feel. The outdoor space was nicely, equipped with swings, rockers, fire pit, and grill. Inside, the house had everything we needed. We will definitely be back and recommend others check it out as well.

Great house with a sweet story.

We had a wonderful stay! Especially loved the framed picture and little story about the owner’s mother. We also enjoyed sitting on the porch having coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. While there was a black board with restaurant recommendations and some of the top things to do, it would have been helpful if there was a notebook with other information like where the nearest grocery store was located and other helpful information. All in all a great stay and would recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Swann

Host profile image
Hello; My name is Sara Swann your hostess at our country cottage in Asheville, N.C. My passion is my home place which I named after my mother, Robena. She was an inspiration to me and my two sisters who fostered 50+ children over the years in this home. We slept under quilts she had made waking to the smell of homemade biscuits and gravy. My dad always grew a garden and was a minister who loved his family very much. I have many good memories growing up in this home. It only feels right to share this wholesome home with others.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique
