This listing is for the Atkinson Suite (Please see Bennett Suite listed here on Vrbo as well.)
Come and enjoy the historic Atkinson Suite of Inn on Westwood, which is located in the heart of funky West Asheville. West Asheville is known for its hip, vintage, and laid-back vibe, with local restaurants serving up comfort food, music venues booking up-and-coming acts, and shops filled with yet-to-be-discovered treasures.
All are very walkable and friendly. This private vacation home, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in the 1870s and converted into an Inn in 2014. Full of special touches, it features 13-foot ceilings, arched double doors, and beautiful crown molding. Rooms are spacious and filled with light from the grand, original floor-to-ceiling windows.
Enjoy the private, covered back porch with your morning coffee, or watch the sunset over the mountains with an evening cocktail. The Atkinson Suite has one king-size bed and one full-size bed, sleeping a total of four people.
The Atkinson features a spacious and comfortable living room, a large dining room, a gourmet, fully-appointed chef's kitchen, two peaceful bedrooms, a period-correct and historically renovated ultra-modern bathroom, a shared front porch with rocking chairs, and a private covered back porch.
Amenities The home is fully stocked for your vacation needs with complimentary tea and coffee, red and white wine, beer, granola bars, chocolate, and a chef's kitchen ready for you to use. Enjoy plush towels, bathrobes, and our Aveda bath products.

Fantastic location (walking distance to bars and restaurants), excellent amenities (we appreciated the complimentary beer, wine, and chocolates!), and so spacious (mom and I would lose track of each other because it was so big). Highly recommend!

Beautiful home! Our stay was wonderful. My family visited Asheville for the first time for New Year's and the home was exceptionally clean. Extra efforts were put in to ensure we were comfortable to include water bottles, wine, coffee, tea, beer, and other basic necessities. The location was perfect and everything was a short driving distance to get to. Will definitely be booking again when we return for another visit.
The home is spacious, well-kept and close to everything we wanted to do. It's 10-12 minutes from the Biltmore, the Arboretum and the Blueridge parkway. The neighborhood seemed safe, and it was quiet. The beds were comfortable enough. I have a bad back and it did not hurt. Our family had a great time and would recommend this place
Everything was as advertised and then some! So many nice welcoming touches such as wine, beer, candy, snacks, and even organic half and half for the tea and coffee which was provided. We would DEFINITELY stay here again. The spaciousness was particularly appreciated by our party staying here. Highly recommend!
Perfect for a visit in Asheville. Many nice details, great location to downtown and the Biltmore Estate. Many extra amenities. Loved the historic home and it’s refurbished interior.
Only place we’d want to stay when coming back to Asheville.
We loved the attention to detail and amenities they provided. Great ownership and management.
Comfortable bed.
The location was within 15 minutes of everything we wanted to do and there are the best restaurants in a mile radius!
This is a wonderful well stocked property. Beautiful views but also in a walkable neighborhood. Would love to return to Asheville to do all of the things we couldn’t fit in.
This home was a lovely experience. It is a beautiful property, well appointed and maintained. There is a sense of living history across all the spacious rooms .
Also it is located within easy access to all Asheville has to offer.
This is a quiet and impeccably maintained residence in a very pleasant neighborhood. Heating system performed wonderfully during our extended stay in somewhat cold weather. Another wonderful stay.
Immaculate property managed with impressive attention to detail. Very quiet and comfortable. Stayed during a cold snap and home was very comfortable. Management very responsive to any questions or suggestions. This is a wonderful property owned and managed by wonderful people.
Huge space, well appointed with thoughtful extras. Had a lovely time catching up with an old friend. Watched a sunset over the mountains from the covered back deck and a full moon rise from the front porch. A very comfortable place to stay.
The Inn was beautiful and the back porch had an awesome view of the Mountains.
Manager and Owner went above and beyond to ensure a nice stay. Small local restaurants and coffee shops are in walking distance from the Inn. There are large pockets of homeless that do linger and settle in the area near the shops/restaurants in addition to the city itself. Inn Location is near many points of interest. Overall, we really enjoyed our time there and all that Asheville has to offer!
Large, bright, cozy, tastefully decorated. Fantastic deck and back yard with views of mountains. The hosts thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with key staples - wine and coffee! While we did not walk to local shops, it is definitely walkable to nearby shops/restaurants. Very clean and high quality linens/bath amenities. I would definitely book again!
The photos don't do the space justice! The unit is so spacious and the kitchen is super well equipped if you want to cook at home. We used the space to also get ready for my wedding, and everyone commented on how beautiful it was. So much is walkable from the home as well, and it is in a charming neighborhood. Don't miss out!
Such a beautiful historic home.
So generous with welcome treats.
Wonderful kitchen.
Love the antiques.
Great attention to detail.
Smells fresh and clean. Beautiful towels, and sheets.
Plenty of parking.
Love the sunset views from the back porch.
This is a 5 Star plus.
We enjoyed our visit here from Canada.
Hope to visit again.
