The Urban Nest is located in the heart of downtown Asheville - a bustling scenic town nestled in the mountains and filled with locally owned shops, restaurants, and galleries. Drive up to the famous Blue Ridge Parkway or the Biltmore Estate in less than 10 minutes. You couldn't find a better location to base your Asheville mountain escape. Park your car in the lot across the street and walk easily to all of downtown Asheville's attractions: Pack Place which houses the DIana Wortham Theater, the Health Adventure and the Coburn Gem and Mineral Museum. Also downtown is the Civic Center, many art galleries, the Orange Peel, the FIne Arts theater, and too many great locally owned restaurants to name.

This oasis in the middle of downtown is perfect for those who want a comfortable place to relax in and use as a home away from home, a base for their downtown Asheville explorations. Mature adults only--not a place for college students to come and party.

Great Place

Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
My husband and I spent a week in this condo for our anniversary and we loved every minute. It is very clean, well decorated, and in the best location! We had our 3.5 month old son and it was very quiet and close for times when he needed to rest! Great for walking around the downtown area and within driving distance to all area locations. We will definitely use this place again the next time we get a chance to visit!

The Urban Nest is a lovely cozy condo in a superb setting. We had a blast in Asheville and your place helped make it a perfect get-a-way. We hope to visit again and when we do we’ll want to return to your nest.

Downtown Asheville Condo

Review Submitted: November 29, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
My wife and I spent a week at the Urban Nest and greatly enjoyed it. The location is excellent for downtown activities, and easy to get in and out for day trips. We walked to many nice restaurants (Curate, Laughing Seed, and Early Girl were favorites), and many interesting shops and galleries are right around the corner. The condo was very clean and well decorated with nice furniture and art. It was plenty big enough for 2 people. Lynn, the owner, was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it without reservation if you are looking for a downtown alternative to a hotel.
Owner's Response: Thanks Baxter - I'm so glad you and your wife enjoyed your stay here. I hope next time you guys can come visit my studio again once I'm up and running!

if you want to experience downtown Asheville, stay here!

Review Submitted: October 28, 2011 Date of Stay: October 2011
My husband found the Urban Nest online. We live in the eastern part of NC and wanted something fun, but low key to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. I was thinking more B&B, but when he found this we jumped at the chance. It really is perfect if you're looking to experience downtown...there are so many fun shops, galleries, not to mention the FOOD...wow! All in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, what a beautiful backdrop. We only had a few days to spend in town, so we roamed and explored the city and didn't venture beyond it, but there are a ton of other great things to do in the area if you're looking for things like that (hiking, we heard the hot springs are cool...about 45 min drive, etc.) Lynne has a gift for hospitality and has provided everything you will need in the Nest. She even has a book detailing restaurants, things to do, etc. It's comfortable, clean, and cozy. What a great trip - we'd love to come back and stay in the Nest again...or maybe try the sister property?
Recommended for:  Adventure Seekers, Girls Getaway, Tourists without a Car, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Thanks Maggie - so glad you guys enjoyed your time in the Urban Nest. The Little Sister would offer a different experience - it's in a quiet neighborhood overlooking our beautiful garden. While it doesn't have all the shops and stores right outside our door as the Nest does, it offers an alternative - perfect for a quiet get away from it all vacation. And downtown is only 5 minutes away.
