Cozy, clean and all around wonderful

What a great experience from beginning to end. The check in process was so easy and Katie has everything labeled with helpful notes around the house. She even has the TV listings numerically and alphabetically typed out. The attention to detail and the organization of the house was amazing. The location was great as well. We went to Asheville for brunch at Over Easy Cafe and had lunch at Tupelo Honey. Both were great. Also tried out Native Kitchen which was only about 5 minutes away and so so good(get the Brussel sprouts). Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely book it again.

Spotless home within a short drive of Asheville

Very nice property. Home was very clean with everything you need for cooking etc. Décor was adorable. We were within 15 minutes to Asheville, 20 to Biltmore Estate property. Everything else to have fun and explore was all 10-20 minutes time.

Cute house

This was a great location for a family get together. Location was perfect for us, and we plan on returning. We went hiking and enjoyed visiting Asheville. Only suggestion would be to upgrade the single twin room to a double or queen bed. That would make it ideal for a couples retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Dewit

We moved to Asheville after living in Africa for 13 years where I met my husband. His poverty alleviation work was the subject of a television documentary I worked on. We are the third owners of this special house and we had no idea what we were getting into buying what at the time was a 90 year old house. Our real estate agent even cautioned us! It's been a labor of love, sweat and tears and we have enjoyed living here especially now that the work is done, (well, almost...). When not working or with family and friends, I can be found in the woods or on the Blue Ridge Parkway on a bicycle.

Why they chose this property

I grew up visiting family in North Carolina. When deciding to move to the US, we chose Asheville for the biking, hiking, music, arts, theater and outdoor lifestyle. We were then hooked by the charm and history of this house, the large trees, fenced yard, and natural beauty of the quiet surroundings. It was an enchanting place to raise our then 8 year old daughter. We hope to move back one day.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy quick access to Asheville, and Black Mountain while staying in a picturesque setting. Charles Owen Rec. Park and easy hiking trails are walking distance, Warren Wilson College is less than one mile away. It is only a sixteen minute drive to Asheville, and Biltmore House. Black Mountain and the Lake Eden Arts Festival grounds are a10-15 minute drive. A large variety of birds and other wildlife visit us throughout the year.
