About this property

Bluebirds Nest—10 min to AVL—Biltmore—RAD—Rafting—Smokies—hot tub—cont breakfast

Bluebirds Nest is a chic apartment perfect for two people. Its elegant and refined elements create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

It is in a great location in the country yet only 10 minutes from downtown Asheville, the River Arts District, Biltmore Estate, West Asheville, UNCA, breweries, shopping, hiking, rafting, golf, falconry, biking and more.

Park right outside your own private entrance to this charming place.

This spacious and bright apartment includes many amenities to make you feel comfortable and at home. You have your own controls for heat and air. Everything is immaculate. All bed linens are washed in hot water and sheets are ironed for an unbelievably comfortable and crisp feel.

Soak in the hot tub while enjoying the starry sky. It’s located on an upper deck outside of the apartment and has an amazing view. It is accessible by garden steps to the deck above or around by the driveway to the deck.

The hot tub may also be used by a couple who might be staying in Robins Nest, our other apartment near Bluebird’s Nest. An open/closed sign is flipped by occupants to insure privacy. The hot tub is located out of view by either apartment.

Suitable for two adults, Bluebirds Nest has a bedroom, sunroom, full bathroom with shower, and full kitchen. The many large windows provide views of the woods and meadows and a beautiful wooded and private disc golf course. You may see deer foraging, bluebirds nesting, white squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, rabbits and pesky wild turkeys.

You will enjoy the peace and quiet, yet you have excellent free wi-fi, two large smart TV’s with premium channels.

This immaculate apartment is an open floor plan and rooms flow one to another, yet are separate and distinct areas. The bedroom is furnished with a queen bed, luxurious linens, an armoire for clothes with hangers and full length mirror, two country French bergere armchairs with footstools, a large smart TV, bookshelves with hiking and local interest books, a desk, alarm clock, luggage rack, and also a closet for clothes.

The white-tiled sparkling kitchen is complete with a full refrigerator, stove, microwave, cooktop and dishwasher.

A stocked coffee/tea station is provided. Muffins and ham and cheese sliders are provided so that you can relax and enjoy a peaceful morning before beginning your day. Lots of kitchen cabinets and two industrial book shelves hold ironstone dishes, glassware, pots and pans, coffee maker, toaster, ice bucket, picnic basket, and everything you need should you wish to prepare meals. Vintage and antique items belonging to my family are displayed. Some small grocery essentials for cooking, dishwashing supplies and linens are provided. Enjoy dining at the large Queen Ann table.

The sunroom is a wonderful place to relax with it’s glider rocker, loveseat, chair, side tables, and large TV. Take a nap in the afternoon sun or drop the solar shades to enjoy a cool sanctuary. A patio door allows a second entry to the outside areas.

The full bathroom is private and off of the living area and has a shower, sink, mirror, and commode. Fluffy towels, comfy robes, shampoo /soap /conditioner, a hair dryer, iron and ironing board are provided. Outside seating/dining areas are right outside your door—one sunny, one shaded. A grill is provided for those evenings you wish to stay in. A wood fire pit ready to light is a cozy treat on a chilly evening.

Hanging baskets and potted plants give you the sense of your own private courtyard. Perhaps you will hear the musical notes of a guitar or banjo in the distance. My neighbor is a musician and practices on his front porch across the woods.

We live beside a beautiful 18 hole private disc golf course. One is beginner friendly 4000 ft course and the other championship level 7700 ft. Mapped on UDisc. You are welcome to play for a greens fee.

Direct flights into AVL airport on Allegiant airlines from many cities including Las Vegas, New York, Orlando, Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, and many more.

Days are blocked between reservations. The apartment is meticulously cleaned between guests.

Nest security camera is located outside and monitors both entrances.

We have a pumping system that pumps wastewater up to the septic lines in the front yard. You will hear it when it empties about once a day.

I am a beekeeper with three sweet hives in the front away from the apartments. They bother no one but occasionally like to drink from the birdbaths. They do not come out at night.

People from all backgrounds are welcome to stay in Bluebirds Nest.

Cameras are placed to view entrance and driveway only.

We also have another short term rental—Robins Nest. It will accommodate two people and you might want to keep that in mind if you travel with another couple or Bluebirds is booked.

We had a wonderful time in this little get-away
The Appartment is amazing. The decoration is cozy and everything just feels like someone created a home for guests. The hosts are very nice and good people - they came downstairs to explain everything and made sure we are taken care of in the best possible way. We have nothing negative to say about this place and defiantly consider going back there. 10/10 highly recommended!

Wonderful hospitality
Fantastic amenities, friendly host, clean and had everything we needed. Not completely private due to nature of the property, but we found that privacy was not really an issue and owners were very good about maintaining privacy.

A Delightful Bluebirds Nest!
The Bluebirds Nest is the best! Bet and Johnny met us upon arrival to make sure we didn’t have any questions. They are fabulous hosts and very personable! There is not a thing that Bet has forgotten! It is so comfortable and decorated to the hilt! Breakfast was such a yummy treat upon awakening as we figured out our day plan! It is private and away from the city, and yet no more than 10-15 minutes from everything. We so enjoyed the hot tub every night and had wine with crackers and cheese by the fire pit one night. Bet is an artist and we visited her studio and bought 2 of her photographs! There is a notebook with lots of suggestions of things to do and places to eat…. Super helpful! We loved our stay at the Bluebirds Nest and loved meeting such delightful hosts! We will be back for sure!

Great Mini Vacation
We visited Ashville for my 40th birthday and could not have asked for a better place. The apartment was cute and had everything we needed. The hosts provided the perfect spot for a weekend getaway, but we could have stayed for a week. We feel fortunate to have found the Bluebird's Nest and definately recommend!

Wonderful Getaway
Beautiful property just as described. Super clean and well stocked. Generous and delicious Continental breakfasts provided. We stayed for Valentine's Day and had fresh flowers and champagne awaiting us. Very happy with our stay and loved the hot tub.

About the host

Hosted by Betty Kindley

Host profile image
My husband and I are natives of Asheville. We love this vibrant city and the beautiful mountains of WNC and love sharing our knowledge and experiences with you.

I am an artist/educator with a home studio. My paintings are in a gallery in the River Arts District at 310 ART where I have taught workshops. I would be glad to recommend sites and galleries to see while visiting Asheville.

I am a retired teacher from Buncombe County Schools. National Board Certified, I taught digital imaging, website development, and computer applications.

My interest in digital imaging led me into photography with the beauty of these WNC mountains and the people and their culture being my favorite subjects.

I come from a railroading family and Southern Railway/Norfolk Southern has been good to us. The railroad's history is tied to the River Arts District and I felt as if I was "coming home" when I became an exhibiting artist at 310 ART at Riverview Station.

My husband comes from a Coca-Cola family who pioneered Coke in the western most counties including Bryson City. His aunt married into the Granville Calhoun family and the old homeplace is still standing up Hazel Creek in the Great Smokies National Park.

I enjoy hiking and fishing but my waterskiing days are over! We especially like to spend long weekends at our houseboat on Fontana Lake with our family.

We have two wonderful daughters, son-in-laws, and three red-headed grandchildren!

We will be glad to share our knowledge of this area with you and make any recommendations you may be interested in.

Our style of hosting is very simple. We are here if you need us and want to provide you with the best accommodations possible. We want you to feel at home.

We invite you to stay with us and hope to see you soon.

Why they chose this property

I know that many of you are concerned about your travel safety and health. Please know that at this time, we are blocking at least one day between bookings so the apartment can be aired out and sanitized.

I have always been meticulous about cleaning and more so now. All sheets and bed linens are washed in hot water, dried on hot, and ironed. All towels and wash clothes are washed in hot water and dried on hot. All surfaces that are frequently touched, light/lamp switches, remote controls, doorknobs, etc. are sanitized. The bathroom is cleaned and sanitized. Finally, I have placed an air purifier/UV light in the apartment.

I prepare a delicious and nutritious breakfast allowing you to stay in late.

No-contact entry with a key provided.

Relax in outside areas with ample sunshine and fresh air.

What makes this property unique

Bluebirds Nest has a "sister" apartment--brand new Robin's Nest. Should you need accommodations for another adult couple traveling with you, it will accommodate 2 guests, has full kitchen, large bathroom, bedroom/living room with a free-standing fireplace, hot tub access on deck outside, and outside covered porch. The apartment doors can be opened to one another and are separated by a hall. VRBO #2618153--Robins Nest
