Asheville has plenty of folksy swag and this extends to its airbnbs as well. Finding it is easier than you might fear, as you’ll look less for an address number on the busier-than-you’d-think road you arrive on than the LOVE sign greeting you on the left.
The house is tucked away on a hill and if you’re wondering where you should park, there’s a sign telling you. There’s also a chicken coop back there! You follow some stepping stones around the house (give Otis a wave on your way: (wo)man’s best friend is a big golden retriever that gave me a sideways glance behind the sliding glass door as if to say, ‘You’re new.’) to the most adorable little entrance (it has painted tiles for sale! Now you know you’re in Asheville).
The space is a little cozier than expected. Airbnb-ers in this town are all gifted with the camera and find a way to make every space seem slightly larger than it actually is (while three people can certainly find a way to sleep here... I would say it feels more like a little romantic getaway spot than something a small family would have space for). It is romantic... the touches you see in the photos don’t need the ample space to shine. The bed is adjustable, the back porch is inviting, and all the kitchen comforts are Trader Joes. There were even chocolate truffles bedside!
With the 9pm curfew in place I would maybe think twice before ubering downtown for the evening... either plan to leave before the bars close or use a DD... there’s simply not enough drivers for the exodus that’s going to occur... and while this place is close... it’s not exactly
walkable.
The nights are quiet and the heater works perfectly. I can’t recommend this spot enough for couples ages 24-70 or maybe a couple of girlfriends who want to be close to the nightlife but don’t wanna try to sleep in it (especially post-COVID when the city really opens back up).
