About this property

Luxury Downtown Eco-Retreat: Oasis in the City

Welcome to downtown Asheville's only luxury micro-farm and retreat! Exemplifying the true spirit of Asheville, Rose Knoll Urban Oasis is an homage to the adventurer, the dreamer, the artist & the wanderer within us all. (Follow along on Instagram @roseknollurbanoasis)

Our newly remodeled circa-1925 suite offers a private deck & entrance, pick-your-own garden, hot tub, clawfoot tub, indoor fireplace, plush king-size bed, full-size sofa bed, outdoor grill, fire pit, daybed love nest & more — all within walking distance to both downtown & the River Arts District.

Nestled in Asheville’s historic Montford neighborhood, this cozy garden hideaway encompasses the best of both worlds, offering a luxury retreat into nature -- right in the heart of the city.

You’re just a one-mile walk from the center of downtown (Pritchard Park, home of Asheville’s infamous Friday night drum circle!) and all of the best breweries and restaurants Asheville has to offer. If you’re in town to enjoy the music or art scene the River Arts District provides, you’re equally centrally located -- the ten-mile riverside pedestrian and bike path begins right at the bottom of the hill.

If you're visiting for a personal retreat or romantic sojourn in the mountains, take advantage of your personal hot tub (privacy screens included to ensure maximum solitude), indoor gas fireplace, clawfoot tub and private deck to relax, renew and recharge.

Tune out and tune in on your porch daybed love nest and -- during the growing season -- sample the tomatoes, peppers, berries and more in the “pick-your-own” garden on this eclectic urban farm.

Business travelers and those on work retreats will appreciate high-speed Internet, a dedicated work nook, proximity to downtown, and our quiet, dead-end family neighborhood.

Reconnect with nature and laze under the stars as you enjoy your custom outdoor fire pit. Be a kid again and cook over the open fire via our custom grill grate, or have a hot dog or marshmallow roast! (Complimentary wood bundle and S'mores sticks provided.)

Local libations and snacks, complimentary tea & coffee included to set your Asheville escape off on the right note ~
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

Beautiful home with a wonderful host!

This place is absolutely amazing. My partner and I visited for our anniversary trip and we were blown away by the stunning garden, cozy decor and the friendliness of the host, Monroe. She was amazing and provided great recommendations around town for us to visit, along with checking in and making sure we had everything we needed! I look forward to staying here again!

Beautiful property and very convenient location. Access to vegetable garden and fire pit made my stay feel like home. I stayed alone but this property would be great for couples. The space is private and enjoys a beautiful view from the deck. The owner is very passionate about growing vegetables, herbs, tropical plants and flowers which adds a terrific natural beauty to the property. I would certainly stay here again.

This place is an experience offering wonderful outside amenities including a generous sized for 2 and sparkling clean hot tub, a huge garden to pick from and enjoy, a sauna, outdoor shower, and a coming soon cold plunge. Inside is full of Asheville charm with artsy, fun decor, a large comfy (and clean) sectional, fun dinning spot, wonderful king size bed, and excellent attention to detail for having all things necessary in a kitchen to cook a meal. The host is wonderful with quick communication and it is obvious this rental is a labor of love. For anyone traveling to Asheville for performing in shows, attending shows, concerts…all the things Asheville, this is a great spot very close to downtown that you will look forward to reserving on repeat!

Weekend Getaway to Asheville

My wife and I love coming to Asheville a few times a year as we live in Tennessee and we like staying in different VRBO’s each time we go. This location is by far the best VRBO that we have stayed in over the years. The cleanliness, the amenities, the comfort, the style of the interior is top notch and can’t be overstated. The owner’s communication is timely and concise. We would definitely stay here again! Also, this is our first visit since the Hurricane and although this area was affected by the damage, Asheville is rebuilding and don’t let that keep you from visiting the great restaurants, shops and breweries this town has to offer!

This is a special place, and Monroe has worked very hard to make it that way with many extra touches. The garden is lovely (had some kale, lettuce and stawberries), the hot tub great, and the interior of the place comfortable and adorable--books, art, lighting. I loved all the plants. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice too with some nice products to use. It was very well located to places I wanted to go (you can walk to the visitor's center if you're a walker like I am--and take the trolley tour!) I could also walk to Riverside Cemetery, which is huge and hilly and has some famous writers buried there. I also walked down to the River Arts District. I know the owner mentions this in the listing, but the stairs (the first set) are daunting with luggage, so be careful. Not a big deal, but there is a mini-fridge and doesn't have have a freezer, so if you're grocery shopping, don't buy frozen products. I was sad to leave and would def. stay again.
