Family-friendly vacation rentals in Downtown, Asheville

Great location for where I needed to be. Lovely layout of rooms and furniture. Super comfortable couch. Bed was comfortable, linens nice, towels absorbent and generous. It had the easiest keypad entry I have experienced anywhere. Where Asheville feels like everything is on top of you ( being a country girl) I felt like I could breathe here. Lovely back yard. I had pre-made food to bring for family gathering but the kitchen looked like it would have been a place to cook too. We run hot and every place these days seem to use down comforters on the bed which are too hot for us, but in the hall closet were some other blanket choices which we appreciated a lot. Don't want to give this too high a rating or it will always be booked when we want to come.

Wonderful experience!!! Very quiet neighborhood. So close to town and restaurants. House was spotless and well stocked. The only Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at that had women’s items (hairdryer, straightener, curling iron). I was shocked to see all the necessities and more there. Thanks for thinking of us ladies!!! We loved the decor, and of course the hot tub. Our doggie loved the fenced in yard. We had the best time in Asheville! If we ever come back I’ll definitely book again!! Thank you Melissa for being so responsive and making sure we had everything we needed!

Loved it!! Would definitely book again!

couldn't have asked for a better location. Walking distance to lots and lots of restaurants and breweries. Joe's instructions were clear and the home was clean and very comfortable. thank you so much for the wonderful accommodations!

My husband and I stayed at the hip scandi cabin with the airstream. We had such an amazing time, and left so relaxed and refreshed. Mae was a wonderful host, providing wonderful instructions for check in as well as directions as cell service can be spotty in the mountains. There was guide with many local recommendations for restaurants and attractions. We tried several of the restaurants from the guide, and all were great! If you are looking for a quiet place to get away, but within close proximity to restaurants and things to do, I highly recommend this place!

The bungalow is located on a mountain slope with beautiful mountain views. It's very private and relaxing. It has two large verandahs, with a hot tub on the top one, so you can enjoy the views even on a cold day. Inside, the kitchen is spacious and very well equipped, the bedroom has places for you to put your clothing away, and the bed and linens were very comfortable. The inside gets a lot of sunlight, particularly the living room, making it even more cozy. The living room has a TV and gas fireplace. Downstairs you can find the washing and drying machines and a ping pong table. I totally recommend the bungalow for a relaxing vacation. We stayed at the cabin about two months after hurricane Helene passed through the area. While there was a lot of devastation, particularly close to rivers, the area around the cabin has already been cleaned up of any debris. We were still able to find some good hiking around Asheville, and trails seems to be reopening, just check and plan ahead of time.

We really enjoyed our time over there!! Can’t wait to go back again:)

We unfortunately stayed during Hurricane Helene, but the house held up well through the storm. The generator didn’t work, so we were without power, but I don't blame them—who can prepare for a once-in-a-millennium event? That said, proper maintenance could have made a big difference, and I’m sure it will be addressed going forward. Communication was tough, but once the roads were clear, Margaret and Dan's daughter, Jodi, and her husband, Dan, were very kind and helpful, making sure we were comfortable until travel was possible. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

If you’re in Asheville, I highly recommend this house. It was beautiful, comfortable, peaceful and located in a great area. Beds were comfy, chefs kitchen and the living room was out of a magazine. The backyard is amazing, large, lots of areas to sit and chill. Loved listening to the stone water fountain. Also, a nice outdoor fire pit. And separated by a fence and out of sight, chickens and rabbits! Opening the fridge to find a loaf of blueberry bread and fresh yard eggs was nice and welcoming. One of my favorite Airbnb stays.

Great location for getting around Asheville and nice private feeling spot even though access to downtown is so close.

Our family really enjoyed staying at Smithson’s cottage. The fenced-in yard was awesome for the kids and our dog, and the cottage itself was really nice. We had a great time!

Needed a quiet retreat getaway and this was the perfect spot. Cozy and eclectica/artsy space. Kambra also provided nice extras like a bottle of sparkling wine (New Year's stay), local company pretzels and chocolates.

This place is a little gem!! So clean and comfortable. When we walked in, we immediately felt right at home. The kitchen is nicely stocked with what you might need to make your own meals. The washer and dryer are there if you need and well stocked with detergent. Everything we needed in the bathroom as well. The beds were beyond comfortable. For me, what stood out the most was the nostalgic vibe throughout. It has a comforting "vintage" vibe with a modern twist. The teenagers LOVED the vinyl collection as it had a wide genre appeal. We look forward to coming back soon!

Micha’s place was perfect for our one night in Asheville. He was a proactive communicator when an unforeseen situation arose and provided a quick resolution. We stayed with our 2 year old and the space worked well for us. Thanks for having a baby gate for the stairs :)

The house was perfect for our quick weeeknd trip and charming as pictured. April sent us clear instructions on exactly how to get to the entrance and where to park. Perfect location and plenty of options to enjoy the area. We will be sure to look for availability here for our next trip to Asheville!

Honey's Place was the perfect place to get away for the Christmas Holiday! It was exactly as stated and very comfortable. There was plenty of room and it was stocked with anything that you could think of. The location was perfect - it seemed everything was a short 15 mins away. The host were so friendly and their communication was amazing. I will book Honey's Place again when coming back to the beautiful Asheville area. Thanks again!

This is our second time staying at the cottage. The location is absolutely perfect, the house is amazingly clean, and Brevard is a wonderful city. You can walk to many shops and restaurants downtown with ease, take a stroll in the park across the street, or enjoy the wonderful little fenced back yard. If you are traveling with dogs, the back porch and the park make for a super easy stay. The cottage has a wonderfully updated kitchen and bathroom, and the rest of the house is extremely cozy. I'll sure we will be back a third, and likely a fourth time in the near future.

My husband and I stayed here with our dog for Labor Day weekend! The house and the location can’t be beat for a relaxing but fun vacation. Everything was as described at the house and the added bonus of the lake club and marina topped it off. We plan on making this an annual trip!

Beautiful property and amazing location!

We loved our stay here! The house was excellent and the hosts were great. We were notified as soon as the house was ready and were able to check in early. The house had everything we needed and the location was great. Nothing weird about being in the RV park, you just have to drive through to get to the house. Super close to anything we needed and we could take an uber to get anywhere in town. Would 100% stay here again!

The house was big and well furnished. The access to the pools and tennis courts is only a few minutes walk. The starter kits in the bathrooms and kitchen are more than enough. The play room was great! The wifi was a bit unstable but it satisfied our basic needs. The community takes extremely good care of the surroundings. Perfect for a family vacation!

Had to book late in the evening last minute and within 15 minutes, they had us checked in and instructions sent to us in how to get into the apartment, where to park, and every detail we could need. Heading down the steps on the way to the apartment, there is a great view of the lake. This unit has nice windows with a pretty view also. Everything we could need was already tackled and details to make our stay smooth were already thought of. I would definitely recommend this location to stay.

I cannot recommend this property enough! From the moment I stepped inside, I was blown away by how clean and spacious the home was. It was impeccably maintained, with every detail thoughtfully cared for. The layout was perfect for relaxing or entertaining, and it felt like a true home away from home. The cleanliness stood out the most—everything was spotless and fresh, which made the stay so much more enjoyable. The hosts clearly take pride in maintaining their property to the highest standard. If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-maintained, and spacious place to stay, look no further. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone!

Great location in beautiful neighborhood. Convenient to downtown. Welcome environment. Comfy bed. Will stay again!
