Comfy Asheville Cottage with Private Fenced Yard
The cottage was a peaceful and comfortable accommodation in between tournament games at the nearby Buncombe County Sports Complex. It was also within a ~15 min drive to downtown Asheville for some great eats and shopping. The place was very clean, with comfortable beds, and all the amenities you would need for a home away from home. Would stay again!

Catherine is a great host and very accommodating. We will definitely book again when we need to recharge and plan on trying to book in the fall because this place has to look amazing when the leaves start changing colors. Thanks again Catherine for a wonderful place and can’t wait to come see you and this wonderful place 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! 🙌

The Starling: A Small A-Frame in the Blue Ridge
Loved, loved our stay at the Starling. It was as adorable as we imagined it to be. It felt private and like it was all ours. We had fires in the pit both nights, lay in the bed under the twinkle lights, and enjoyed the views, sounds (and cool shower!) while we were there. We made so many amazing memories, and "A-Frame" has become a new vocabulary word for us whenever we want to remember one of our many favorite moments together there. Thank you for opening your home to us. We will definitely be back!

Asheville Luxury Glamping Dome | Mtn View, Hot Tub
This property was literally Heaven on earth. The view is amazing, the property was beautiful, clean and comfortable. I didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back with our dog as the proper is very dog friendly.

You won't want to leave! Check our reviews.
Really enjoyed staying here! They have done such a good job fixing it up and it had everything we needed. WiFi was spotty and it was humid in the airstream (they had a dehumidifier going) but that’s normal for this time of year and especially in an enclosed space like the airstream. Would definitely recommend!

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.
