Photos and Description of the Asheville vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4, 30 day minimum

This cozy 1905 Carriage House was renovated over the last 20 years to function as a modern home while retaining historic integrity and charm (the main house burned down in the 70's). This was my architectural design studio while I lived in the cottage next door, during the construction of my new home on the front part of the property about 6 years ago (featured in Fall 2010 Fine Homebuilding magazine).

Accessed by a quiet old carriage alley, within 10 min walk of our vibrant downtown and UNCA, and convenient to the I240, in the middle of a historic neighborhood of lovingly restored homes and B&B's.

Wood floors and windows throughout, snug bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower, tastefully furnished, W/D, fully equipped kitchen (incl utensils, pots/pans, gas cooktop, microwave, etc), two sets of linens, comforters, etc.,CATV, wireless internet, and all utilities included.

The House is on two levels, with the large master bedroom on the lower level (unfinished storage bay is adjacent), with a door to the covered stone patio. Other rooms are upstairs, spilling out to a large elevated deck tucked under a mature tree canopy, surrounded by lush landscaping.

The Carriage House is adjacent to my 1940 rental cottage, perfect for coordinated stays, see VRBO listing #431599.

30 day minimum, unless gaps between reservations allow shorter stay.

Also within 10 min walk to Wholefoods grocery, several neighborhood restaurants, parks, a historic cemetery, YMCA, etc. Perfect place to live while relocating.

Great home away from home!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 4, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
We spent the month of March in Michael's wonderful carriage house. It felt like home for us and we wanted for nothing. The description of the house was perfect and it was all buffed and polished for our arrival. The location is wonderful. Every morning we walked to a neighborhood convenience store for a newspaper. We also walked into downtown Asheville frequently for dinners, lunches, shopping, the symphony and the Home and Garden Show. A large grocery store, Blockbuster video, the University of NC, the Botanic Gardens and any other amenity is only a 5-10 minute car ride away. Michael was a gracious host and helpful with our questions about the area. Even our cat Bella felt right at home! We highly recommend this facility.

Great House, Great Location...

The Carriage House was absolutely wonderful. We truly enjoyed our stay at Michael's property and would stay again if ever we needed to. We used the home for the month of February while we transitioned into the city of Asheville. The location was excellent as we were able to walk into town and walk down to the grocery store. A car was almost unnecessary! I can only imagine the home in the spring as the trees turn green and the grill gets going! Whomever stays next, enjoy!

Wonderful Place to Stay

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful month-long stay here. The cottage was outfitted perfectly. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook great meals. We also had plenty of good-quality towels, bed linens, and blankets. I, especially, appreciated the washer/dryer combo (excellent for an extended stay). The location is great, too -- we walked downtown all the time as well as to a great grocery store. Michael was an excellent landlord -- very responsive when we had questions about anything. Highly recommended!
