This modern, comfortable apartment is located in the walkout basement of a charming house tucked up at the end of quiet, woodsy lane in North Ashville/Woodfin. Wildlife abounds in this neighborhood. Our first day a young black bear strolled through the grounds, and we saw plenty of other critters during our week there.

The interior design of this apartment is distinct and up-to-date, but nothing about the space feels sterile. Rather, both the bedroom and the large living room are comfortable and inviting. Joel has gone the extra mile with small amenities and he’s left helpful notes around to make navigating the television, air conditioning (which we never had to use in mid-July) and other systems easy to navigate.

While everything you need in stores and restaurants is a quick five or seven minute drive away, this apartment provides a wonderful feeling of privacy (not to say isolation) that can be welcome at the end of a busy summer day enjoying Asheville’s attractions. Joel was great with communication and made enjoying this apartment easy.
