Bungalow 5 mins to downtown Asheville with fenced yard
This remodeled historic bungalow is an unbeatable choice for downtown Asheville adventures, located in the only part of the city that permits whole-house vacation rentals (Woodfin.) A no-brainer for easy access to downtown Asheville, but also an amazing homebase for outdoor adventures, and a central hub for hikes to the Parkway or the Smokies.
Bright, sunny, space with views of surrounding mountaintops and river - in the winter the French Broad River can be seen just over the treetops. Located in a quiet neighborhood immediately north of Downtown Asheville, with a brewery within walking distance at the end of the block and another brewery (zillicoah) 1/2 mile away.
The house is close to several river parks and the River Arts district, but most of all crazy convenient to downtown. If you're looking for an affordable, comfortable, convenient space to tackle both Asheville and the outdoors, this is it.
Situated on a hill just above the French Broad River, in what is easily one of Ashevilles most convenient and underrated neighborhoods. You’re 2 miles from all that Downtown has to offer, with some amazing neighborhood gems close by, like Asheville’s two newest breweries within a mile, High Five Riverside coffee shop, or Asheville Community Yoga.
Just a little further up river (5-7 min drive) are several great bars and restaurants, including the Grey Eagle, Anoche mezcal bar, Bull and Beggar, and Wedge Brewing. This area is known as the River Arts District but I find myself dining there a lot. Don’t sleep on the art here either, I like the cluster of galleries on Depot Street, which you can hit after a breakfast at Butterpunk. Or dinner at Crusco. If you want a Birds Eye view of the RAD, check the rooftop at the Radical Hotel.
The house is situated just off Riverside Drive which is a very popular road biking destination that winds its way seemingly forever away from Asheville into gorgeous countryside and the legendary rugged terrain of Madison County. Great for scenic drives or access for boating excursions, or day trips to Marshall NC, one of the most scenic mountain towns you’ll ever see. Easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway with epic trailheads within a half hours drive.

Sehr schöne Wohnung, sehr angenehme und verbindliche Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter. Alles sehr fein. Leider aber ein sehr lauter Highway direkt am Hang über dem Haus. Deshalb nur vier Sterne. Ansonsten alles fein.
This site has plenty of room; washer and dryer, dishwasher, comfortable beds. It's very close to all Asheville places of interest. I plan to stay there again.
