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's place was very clean and had all the amenities you could hope for. fully stocked with linens, cleaning supplies, cooking and dining supplies, the whole nine yards. The yard was great for our dogs, fenced in, private and maintained. The place was full of modern amenities, including the bathroom and kitchen which can make or break a stay for me. Smithson promptly responded to every message I sent and was proactive about check in details, suggestions for hiking, and other good to knows for the stay. I'll definitely be back!

The Cozy Cottage with the Illusion of Seclusion
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shannon’s place. We could have easily parked ourselves on the deck for the entirety of our 3-day stay and been very happy, but it was easy to come down off the hill and visit restaurants in Arden or Asheville. Shannon has done a very nice job of working updates to the home, especially to the kitchen and bathrooms. She deserves a special shout-out for going above and beyond to ensure the gas supply for the fire pit was quickly replenished when it unexpectedly ran out. As advertised, this was a great combination of peace, solitude, privacy, mountain views, with surprisingly good access to all that the greater Asheville area has to offer.

17 Degrees North Mountain Cabin
When I saw that Catherine’s place was rated a 5, I was a little suspect considering it’s really tough to get 5 stars. Oh my goodness, 5 stars plus!!! What a magical oasis! Catherine was super kind and helpful. All the animals were such a treat to connect with and the areas to walk and wonder were all so, so beautiful. The river on the property was an added bonus and super soothing. This is a place that will provide me many more sessions of relaxation and restoration. I also got away without purchasing some of the meats for sale- next time. Yes, next time. Can’t wait to return. The location was just right! We felt far away from all the bustle yet, only minutes from the highway. If you are a birdy nerd like us, this is the spot. The cabin itself was so super sweet and romantic with all the nice lighting. The outdoor in-porch hammock was also a treat. We sunbathed and read in the chaise loungers which are so nice. I could go on and on….you will not regret booking!

Bungalow with Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Dog Friendly
This was an amazing experience! Cheryl’s home was the perfect place for us this long weekend. The house felt like a true home and had everything you would need in it. The backyard was perfect for our golden and to relax after a day out. It is very close to downtown and montford. The bed and couch were both very comfortable and it has a spacious bathroom with washer/dryer. She also provided a list of recommendations which we utilized quite a bit. We’ve been to Asheville a lot but it was nice to learn about other restaurants, hikes and coffee shops we hadn’t tired yet. Cheryl’s response time is FAST! Check in was easy. We would love to stay here again!

Houz Zen: A Pet Friendly Private Suite
Corey and Cheryl were lovely hosts. Their airbnb had everything we (including our dog Ridge) needed! They were incredibly kind and thoughtful. The fenced in backyard is totally private and Ridge lived his best life with an abundance of tennis balls provided by Corey and Cheryl. While Corey and Cheryl live upstairs, we never heard noise and they were extremely respectful of our time whenever they saw us outside (but I always wanted to chat :) Wonderful airbnb, so cozy and Ridge is already asking to go back!

Farm Life at The Rosemary Cabin!
Check in was incredibly easy, directions were perfect. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and the scenery is breathtaking. It’s far enough off the beaten path to enjoy privacy but only 20 minutes from town where there are hiking trails, brewery’s and some good eating.

Modern lux mountain cabin, 3 miles to town/BR Pkwy
Amazing place! The space is so comfortable and unique. Having 2 bathrooms was a great feature. Being surrounded by woods yet only a quick drive to downtown is the best of both worlds. Would recommend staying here. 10/10

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!
Landscape was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The swing by the stream was a perfect spot to sit up on arrival and lean into the visit. The apartment was very comfortable and cozy. There was a little basket of snacks and homemade banana bread in the kitchen, such a thoughtful addition. Great spot to come back to for rest and good conversation.

Cozy studio in hot West Asheville.
I enjoyed staying in 22, nestled in a cute peaceful neighborhood. Christina and her family made me feel right at home. And I found it very helpful when I asked various places to go and she was going to pass on helpful information. I would recommend 22 whomever wanted a delightful sweet sweet little place to stay

Dog Friendly - Stargazer Cabin at Farmside Village
My stay was lovely. It’s very peaceful up at the cabins. For the first portion of my stay I was the only one up there. Later, the other cabins were filled. However, I hardly noticed anybody else, the cabin is very well insulated from sound. All the basic amenities are provided. And it’s a very comfortable set up they have created. The space was kept very tidy and clean and anything I needed was provided. I would definitely rent again from these folks. It’s a very easy drive into Asheville for events, food and shopping. Thanks so much for making you space available to others.

Garden Cottage 2.5 miles to downtown
Place is awesome, surrounded by nature and just a few minutes away from Asheville Downtown. Beautiful home, super great equipped (outstanding!). Marion was very helpful as instructions were very clear and she was available to answer a couple of quick questions we had during our stay. For those visiting Asheville area, I cant think of a better place to stay.

Treehouse / A-Frame
We loved staying at the tree house. The house was unique, comfortable, and had everything you need. Less than 30 minute car ride to downtown Asheville, Biltmore, and Brevard. Very close to Sierra Nevada Brewery. Our son loved the neighborhood rooster and squirrels. Definitely recommend for a family trip.

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
Excellent cozy retreat, close to downtown and secluded

Peaceful Asheville Getaway Mtn/Valley Views
It's really an amazing place, with beautiful views, lots of places to sit and relax, and all the amenities and supplies you need.

3 Mile Cabin, 3 miles to Downtown, Hot Tub, Views
This is a great spot for a couple visiting Asheville! It was only 10 minutes away from Asheville downtown and 20-40 minutes to the hikes we did! This place was very clean and the hot tub was a nice touch!

Highland House - Near Asheville
We were absolutely thrilled with our stay here! The view from the living room is spectacular on its own - not to mention the layout of the home is one of envy. I was taking notes on the tasteful and charming decor. We were lucky enough to be here on an evening when a storm was rolling in. Watching it approach from the porch was so incredibly relaxing. The only downside is there aren't really trails or anything close by, but I think the serenity and privacy you achieve on this property is second-to-none. We will definitely stay here again!

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!

Cozy Country Home
Absolutely beautiful! We felt safe and very comfortable. The house was exactly what we were looking for. We have already started planning our next visit.

Farm to Table Mountain Getaway on Peaceful Sheep Farm
Wonderful hosts with a beautiful sheep farm. The view from the High House is stunning and deservedly so! It's quite an ascent to the house but worth it - like a holler all to yourself. The furnishings and amenities are everything we could ask for, the kitchen was stocked full of everything a cook would need. The bedrooms were comfortable and the layout allowed us to stretch out. Make sure your vehicle is capable of getting up the road, we have a truck and it wasn't an issue.

Knobview Retreat - Private Home/Breathtaking Views
The house was exactly like the pictures. Very welcoming and responsive host. The home was has beautiful views and a great hot tub! And fully stocked with everything you will need. I would highly recommend the home.

Sunny & Cheerful Home in Asheville - Entire house
This sweet house was perfect for our 2-day Asheville trip. Caleigh was a great host and there wasn't a thing we could have needed that wasn't there already. It was clean and coffee and creamer was in the kitchen already! It was easy to get everywhere we needed to go, but away from downtown enough to be quiet. We would definitely visit here again!

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.

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.

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.
