We are reluctant to leave a review… because we kind of want to keep this place a secret for ourselves! We had an incredible stay for Fourth of July Weekend. Lyle was a perfect host. We got in extremely late after midnight because of work, but he left the light on for us which was so nice of him. He messaged us the next day to check to see if we needed anything, but the Bungalow is so well thought out that we were quite happy already. Older home but comfortably updated — so very Asheville! The location is fabulous. We are frequent visitors to the area (almost yearly for over two decades) and out of all the hotels, inns, and rental homes we have stayed at, this one is probably the best situated for what we like to do. Super close to West Asheville restaurants, short 10 minute drive to either Downtown or the River Arts District, and easy access to I-240 which takes you to just about everywhere else. The street is not pedestrian friendly, but if you are a runner, there is a very nice, flat greenway in the previously mentioned River Arts District that is perfect for long runs with plenty of parking. The Bungalow has window AC units which kept the house cool despite the warm July temperatures. The shower’s water pressure was good and the bathroom is stocked with great towels, body wash/shampoo/conditioner dispensers, hair dryer. One of the bedrooms has a great full length mirror and both bedrooms have a closet which is not that common in older homes. Nice to have a full-size washer/dryer unit, too — we’ve never seen a combo machine before! The sunlight in the living room is great. Our last full day was Independence Day. After running the 5K at Carrier Park in the morning, we spent the rest of the day just relaxing at the home and in the evening enjoyed our s’mores at the fire pit while some of the distant neighbors gave a fireworks display. Just a great way to end our short vacation. Most importantly, we were so very thankful that the Bungalow is pet friendly. Luna absolutely loves going on vacation with us and she had a relaxing time as well. Thank you, Lyle, for everything! We will definitely try to stay here again if it is available when we return.
