What a treat to be so close to everything and yet still tucked away against a hill for the mountain experience. Such a sweet deck, loved the beds and the shower. A great place to stay.

My family (wife and adult children) stayed here on our trip to Asheville for me to run the Asheville marathon. We really enjoyed the place, and it was very convenient to downtown and all the wonderful places along the river. Communication with the host was excellent, and the house was very clean and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again!

This is such a great place to stay! It's nicely tucked up in the trees and feels like a mountain retreat, but still close enough to downtown to get to experience the city of Asheville as well!
We brought our 2 dogs and they were right at home and loved hanging out on the deck. Definitely a great find!

House is located just outside city in a quiet neighborhood close to everything. Roomy 3 bedroom and 2 baths were perfect for our 3-person friend’s getaway. Especially loved morning coffee on the deck. The house was immaculate and easy to get to. All the essentials and more were provided. Would highly recommended this property.

This adorable home was perfect for our family to enjoy when we came to Asheville for a concert at the Salvage station. Took an Uber to and from the concert. Very clean and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable!

Home is in a good location, comfortable and met all of our short term needs with a pet. Parking is somewhat of a challenge for 2 cars.

So comfortable for our family. Thank you!
We needed three bedrooms and the space worked well with very comfortable beds. Very clean. The guidebook was appreciated. The parking was a bit tricky so pay attention and go slowly in and out.

Went to see Tedeschi Trucks Band and had such a wonderful trip! House was so warm and welcoming. We loved all the special touches of the cafe lights, candles, coffee press, diffuser and plants. Loved the outdoor deck and beds were VERY comfortable. Great space!

House was just as advertised and Jillian was an excellent communicator regarding any questions. The stay was just what the doctor ordered. A small note not regarding the property; Asheville is incredibly crowded during this week. Thanks again.

This house is in a great location, 10 minutes from downtown near the river. As of our stay (end of Dec 2024), there is still damage in the neighborhood from the hurricane. There were trees down on the side of the road, and we had to drive under a power line held up by a wooden stick balanced on the pavement. The house itself had no obvious damage, and was a great place to stay. The living room couch had one side that was hard to sit on due to the springs wearing out, but was comfortable otherwise. Kitchen was well stocked with coffee, sugar, salt/pepper, spices. The three bedrooms upstairs share one bath, and the other bathroom is downstairs. The driveway is very steep and you really need to be careful to park on the right side. Once we got used to it, we had no issues. We contacted the host once during the stay, and they got back to us within the hour.

The property was clean, the beds comfy and some amenities were provided you wouldn't expect like spices/oil/coffee/filters/tea. There were a couple of games and books to read plus a lot of information about what to do in the area and maps. The driveway was okay, but one side drops off with no rails, so you have to be careful of that. The owner puts a warning about that in the info, though. It was a pleasant experience.

Jillian’s home was the perfect place for our Christmas family gathering - I loved the casual elegance and whimsy of the furnishings and art. Beautifully clean, comfortable beds, great floor plan - we didn’t get to enjoy the great deck because of super frigid temperatures but the indoor space was so accommodating. Everyone who joined us for Christmas Eve loved the place! The worst I can say is that we needed more dish towels - haha! Thanks for the wonderful, soulful stay!
