Peaceful Asheville Getaway Mtn/Valley Views
Beautiful place! The backyard was amazing. We sat on the back porch for hours watching the horses and swinging on the tree swing. Would highly recommend this place.

*Cozy Tiny Cottage* 20 min to Downtown Asheville
The place was incredible! Supper peaceful and has everything and more you could need for a relaxing stay. Will definitely stay again!

17 Degrees North Mountain Cabin
Property (farm) is beautiful and well kept. Cabin is modern, well appointed, very clean and well cared for. Open views of the surrounding mountains, fields, river and farm animals is so nice it almost seems unreal. Note: there is not a full kitchen but instead a make shift kitchenette area with a portable burner, microwave, toaster oven, etc - fine for preparing simple meals. Excellent host. Good, fast, spot-on communication. Overall a quiet, ideal place to get away and relax.

The Studio at 217
We have nothing but good things to say about Muffi and Tim’s wonderful studio! The space was immaculately clean and very cozy. Muffi communicated often and made sure we felt comfortable reaching out with any questions we may have had. We also arrived after dark, and still had a very smooth arrival and it was very easy to locate the Studio due to Muffi’s instructions. We could not recommend this space enough, especially if you are hoping to visit downtown Asheville or the Biltmore Estate!

Modern Mountain Getaway/ Asheville is Open Again!
This place was perfect! We felt so comfortable and relaxed. It smelled good, looked good and was really clean! The hot tub was easy to use and we took advantage each night the weather allowed. We didn’t want to leave and will absolutely stay again! Graham was very responsive and helpful. We had not a single thing we didn’t like or wished was different. If I could give it 100 stars I would. Oh yes, easy storage to unpack and “live” here for a week!

Romantic Yurt, Hot Tub, Farm & Tropical Greenhouse
We enjoyed our stay! Our golden retrievers especially loved all the grass to roll around in and to be able to swim in the pond. The owners and everyone on the property were nice. We really enjoyed the sunset trail by their home as well! One of our favorite ways to end the night was relaxing in the hot tub.

Brand New Luxe Retreat, Firepit, Views + Hot Tub
My boyfriend and I had a fabulous time here! We got to hike and walk around the town. The hot tub and fireplace was also incredible to come back to after a long day of adventure.

The Valley Overlook
Such a fantastic place. Everything about it is wonderful, and Jen is a terrific host. We’ve stayed here twice and will absolutely be back.

Modern Private cabin | WiFi| | Hot Tub | Fire Pit
I had a little trouble getting in with the keypad, but that is probably more about my lack of knowledge with keypad entries. 😂 The home was spotless when we arrived and we filled it with lots of laughter and fun! The back deck was amazing - even in a gentle rain. And, our last night there we enjoyed a fire in the fire pit. Mike and Cate were INCREDIBLY helpful and communicative. They answered every question within minutes and made us feel well taken care of. Departure was easy and they requested minimal prep for departure. They made staying at their home easy and comfortable. 👍

Comfy Asheville Cottage with Private Fenced Yard
Smithson provided a very comfortable cottage for our family to stay for the weekend. He was a wonderful host and very helpful with everything we needed. We would recommend his cottage for anyone visiting Asheville!

Sunshine Daydream-Charming mountain town retreat!
Stayed here for a wedding in Weaverville! It was a cute place near downtown Westerville. We loved the hottub- it was fun to sit in the hottub under the pergola while it rained. Highly recommend.

Bungalow with Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Dog Friendly
Great place. Very nice with inside and outside being inviting. Cheryl was very responsive.

Zenith | Forest Lux | Hot Tub | Fire Pit, 10 2 DT
loved our stay at this place. 20 min from downtown, worth the money. very communicative and responsive hosts. We sadly didn’t get to enjoy the hottub during our stay but the back yard is pristine and place was spotless. if we’re ever back in asheville we will be staying again.

Houz Zen: A Pet Friendly Private Suite
Ah, where do I begin? This was truly THE most pet loving place I have ever stayed! My dog and I felt so welcome, and it was clear at every step that Cheryl and Corey love dogs and understand what they need. The place was really clean, cute decor, and had everything I might need. The yard was incredible, and my pup loved running and chasing one of the many tennis balls they had around for her to chase. Cheryl was warm and lovely and made great suggestions for where I could explore. 10/10, hope to return! 🙌

Modern lux mountain cabin, 3 miles to town/BR Pkwy
This is a gem, a fantastic place to relax in peace in a beautiful home shaded by giant hemlock trees, yet only a few minutes from all downtown Asheville has to offer.

Tiny House [Fenced in yard, 10mins to Downtown]
Wow this place was amazing. Definitely going to be back! Honestly everything inside the house was SO WELL thought out. Instructions everywhere for everything. Mosquito netting - what a blessing in NC spring/summer. Claw foot tub?? Great way to start my day - a bubble bath surrounded by beautiful nature. "10 min to downtown" was SPOT ON. I visited a couple favourite spots and left my dog at the house uncrated without worrying about him getting too bored in the amount of time I'd be out (he is the bestest boy though, so ymmv) My dog loved the yard! He got a bit confused by the netting on the porch, and that was hilarious to watch. We were close enough to houses to feel like there would be help if anything happened, but the way it's situated, you feel like you're in your own private little world. It was stunning and felt very safe in this space 🖤

Cozy studio in hot West Asheville.
Love this cozy and inviting place. The bed was super comfortable and they had a lot of little extras in case you forgot something! Enjoyed meeting and chatting with the owners and meeting their sweet pets.

The Perch: Tiny Cottage near AVL and Black Mtn
Staying at the perch was such a blessing. I was going through a retreat that was emotionally intensive and staying here was like a warm hug. Thank you for the hospitality, I will return.

Jade Tree Place A bit of paradise!
Teased the hosts we would give a bad review so they wouldn’t always be booked up and we could get a reservation again! Everything was excellent

West A'ville sanctuary in the trees
The place was amazing!!!! I loved it!

Romantic & Bohemian Private Studio
it’s easy to feel right at home in Christal’s lovely apartment. It is spacious, with a lot of natural light and everything i needed for my week there. her attention to details, the beautiful art and vintage furnishings made it super comfortable. It is quiet, clean and a short walk to town and so many other great spots. very easy to grab things at Whole foods and TJs which are right next door, and the kitchen is well equipped. i also appreciated there were no chemical detergent smells and natural products provided. i am also a host so i have very high standards as a guest. 🙂 i can recommend Christal’s place, and i wouldn’t hesitate to stay again next time i am in Asheville.

Treehouse / A-Frame
Everything was perfect and the house was so cool! It had everything we needed. We enjoyed our short stay and hope to be back again some day soon.

Peaceful log cabin near Asheville
It was very peaceful. Loved being out in nature but close enough to the small towns in the area. A lot of places to go for hiking and good restaurants close by

Wooded Sanctuary | 5 Mins to Downtown Asheville
Perfect place to stay! My wife and I loved the space. Super close to downtown Asheville.

Your guide to Asheville
Introduction
Tucked into North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville is surrounded by old-growth forests, tumbling waterfalls, and a handsome stretch of the Appalachian Trail. But beyond its world-class wilderness, the city is known for its enduring Gilded Age architecture and bluegrass musical traditions, as well as a thriving art scene. And if that’s not enough, have a beer: Asheville boasts a staggering number of craft breweries, many within walking distance of the music venues and art galleries of the up-and-coming South Slope and River Arts districts. These formerly industrial neighborhoods have breathed new life into the city, and are excellent places to hang out in between trips to the mountains.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Asheville
Asheville has a subtropical climate, which means that the summer months are warm and humid while winters are comparatively mild. From June through August, temperatures peak in the mid-to-high 80s, while December through February they range from the high 20s to the high 40s, with occasional snowfall on the city’s surrounding peaks. From March to May and September through early November, Asheville’s temperatures typically hover between the high 50s and the mid-70s, ideal for staying in one of the local cabins and exploring the area’s picturesque wildflower blooms in spring and foliage during fall. However, precipitation is regular throughout the year—so pack accordingly.

Among Asheville’s most prominent landmarks is this 250-room mansion built for George Washington Vanderbilt II during the height of the Gilded Age.

Visitors can tour the historic manor and massive estate, which includes a rose garden, farm, shop-filled village, and an award-winning winery.
The Asheville Urban Trail
This 1.7-mile walking trail pieces together 30 stops around downtown Asheville that celebrate an important person or moment in the city’s history—each marked with a public sculpture. The self-guided tour takes about two hours to complete, and begins at Pack Square Park. Printed maps are available at the information center.
The North Carolina Arboretum
Located about 20 minutes by car from downtown Asheville, these 434 acres of botanically diverse gardens pack in more than 10 miles of pet-friendly hiking trails. The outdoor attraction sits within the Pisgah National Forest, which includes more than half a million acres of wilderness, with forested mountains, whitewater rivers, and photo-worthy waterfalls.
