This charming, cozy mid-century modern home is located just 1 mile from downtown and 5 minutes from the entrance to the Biltmore Estate. Close to everything, centrally located on a quiet, forested mountain road with privacy and wildlife!

It is the perfect home base to explore Asheville. This is a unique property in the city. Enjoy a mountain escape within the heart of Asheville. We are just 10 minutes to the River Arts District and West Asheville.
This 6 time Super Host awarded property has an open floor plan with a sunny kitchen and dinette. There's a comfortable living room area with large windows looking out into the trees. A door off the dinette opens right onto the deck. Sunlight comes over the mountain and into the kitchen and deck for morning coffee.
The deck overlooks the shared yard and mountains beyond. The home is on a quiet road. We have Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse, Red Cardinals, Blue Jays, wild turkey, and lots of other wildlife. Sit in the sunny dinette with built-in bench seating and to plan your day.
The home has a full kitchen with a gas stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, toaster, washer, and dryer. There is no oven for baking but there is a toaster oven. Most utensils are supplied as well as pots and pans, and a tea kettle.
There is a coffee maker, grinder, and fresh dark roasted coffee beans and teas. The water is hot right away and there is a great shower head. It has central AC and heat. There are six stairs to your private entrance. There is high-speed internet and a television with Roku.
There's no smoking on the deck unless doors and windows are closed.
There are three bedrooms with memory foam queen mattresses. People love our beds! Linens are supplied, a quilt, four hypoallergenic pillows, fluffy towels, and washcloths. Blinds block out the sun for late sleepers or get up early and watch the sunrise from the deck.
Entire home, private entrance, shared backyard, and off-street parking in the large driveway. The lower level apartment has its own entrance.
I live a few minutes away. I am very responsive via text or messages through the app. Feel free to call me as well. I generally don't meet my guests during their stay but am happy to make myself available.
Located on a low mountain between downtown and Tunnel Rd. the home is minutes from Biltmore, West Asheville, the River Arts District, and South Slope breweries. Breakfast opportunities abound, as well as a major supermarket, all less than 3 minutes from the house.
Downtown Asheville is just a 5-minute drive. You can walk over and down the mountain to town in about 25 minutes on a narrow, quiet road and then Uber home for around $7. West Asheville and the River Arts District are a 10-minute drive.
The Biltmore Estate and Biltmore village both neighbor the Kenilworth neighborhood and are just 2 miles away and about a 5-minute drive.
Windswept Drive is just up the hill offering some of the best views of the city found anywhere. There's also an access point to Beaucatcher Mtn Park, a mature forested oasis just above the city. It's accessible from the house for walkers or runners who don't mind climbing, otherwise, there's parking at the trailhead.
Lyft or Uber arrive in a few minutes and can take you most places in the city for $6 -$10. You can drive anywhere in the city in a few minutes. Downtown and Biltmore Estate are both less than 5 minutes away. There is a bus stop a short walk away.
You can walk to town in about 25 minutes. It's a beautiful walk off the mountain and into the city. I do it with my son and other parents use the road with strollers. Some guests have felt like the road is narrow and unsafe. The speed limit on the road is 25 mph and it's rare to see a car during the walk. It begins with a steep uphill and then it's downhill all the way to town.
There is a fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop gas range but no oven. There is a small apartment in the lower level with it's own entrance.

Our family visited Asheville for 3 nights and had a great stay at Han's place. The space was perfect for us and we loved the location as well...just a short walk or drive to downtown. Our little boys had a great time on the playground in the yard and the wagon of blocks so there was something for everyone.
Stayed in Asheville for a work trip, house was easy to find, easy to access, very clean, matched the pictures. Communicating with Hans was easy and quick. Was a great comfort to come back to at the end of a busy work day!
The property was clean and comfotable. The host provided some nice ameneties. Since its December, there was a pretty Christmas tree in the living room.
Me and my family had a great stay at this property. The location is so close to everything we wanted to do! Perfect spot for our 4th of July getaway. Thanks Han!
Han’s property was very peaceful and quiet. Great location in a stunningly beautiful area close to downtown, restaurants, and entertainment. We had a great time and fit our family of 5 nicely.
Han provides a great place to stay and explore Asheville. He is a great host, the beds are comfortable, and the place is close to everything. Will look for this place again on my next Asheville stay!
Clean , comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Beds were wonderful! Having coffee was an added bonus! Host was very accommodating and gave us complete privacy
The house was perfectly clean and well-equipped and so convenient to everything you want to do in Asheville! Han is the perfect host and we highly recommend this property. We hope to be back soon!
The house was cozy and perfect for crashing at night after spending days downtown and hiking local trails. Beds were sooo comfortable and everything was clean and accessible. We appreciated our experience and would definitely recommend to friends. It was too cold to enjoy the deck, but the views were wonderful.

Quiet spot close to everything
I enjoyed the openness of the living room and kitchen area. We made a good healthy breakfast in the nice kitchen every day. Downtown is very close by. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet. Han (the owner) is super nice and friendly . I would love to stay here again someday.
We had an awesome vacation to Asheville staying at Han's. The place was nestled up away from downtown in the woods which we appreciated, but was a 5 minute and inexpensive Uber/Lyft ride from all the breweries downtown that we wanted to explore. Exactly what we were looking for. Clean, spacious inside, nice kitchen which we put to good use for breakfasts, very comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend.
If you are looking to lounge around the vrbo or enjoy the mountain views it does not appear to be set up for that purpose. However, it is very close to downtown and great if you are just looking for a place to rest your head.
We were looking for a clean, simple property to lay our heads and catch up, that was also within an easy drive of downtown Asheville. It was exactly what we hoped for. Thanks, Han!
Really cool spot, can see Hans puts a lot of thought, effort, care and work into this hidden treasure. Great location, very private , and my son and I caught many large and beautiful trout!!! Thanks Hans
This was my first visit to the area. I loved the location and accommodations of this VRBO. Han was easy to work with and very responsive to my questions. The location was close and convenient to major roads and stores. However I felt I was off the beaten path with all the trees and nature surrounding the home. I would recommend this place and will most definitely stay again for my second visit.

The perfect spot to start and end our days exploring Asheville!
Clean, cozy and completely as described. My sister, daughter and I enjoyed the house, neighborhood and proximity to all the things we wanted to see and do! Han was a gracious host, greeting us and then letting us be. I have no doubt he would’ve bent over backwards to address any issues if any had arisen. I would stay there again and recommend it to others.

Great location, quiet and very comfortable
Great place recognizing that Asheville requires a car. Once one accepts that this is a great place. We arrived late due to a flight delay in Charlotte. That meant shopping in the morning. Ingles supermarket 5 mins away. A very minor comment as everything else was very comfy.
