At the end of our street you’ll find Home Ground Coffee Bar & Deli, which serves delicious coffee and food. If you want to relax during your stay in Asheville, this is the neighborhood for you!

Visit the riverside breweries at the New Belgium, The Wedge, or farther downstream at the Bywater where you can pull in right off the river. The Biltmore Estate is just a short 3.1 miles away.

The size and layout of the house is very comfortable. The bedroom sizes also made our stay very comfortable. We were slightly disappointed with the level of sunlight during the day. Unsure if this was due to fall sun or the height of the bamboo. The shuffle board on back deck was great and worked very well! Loads of fun. Kitchen appliances worked fine. Suggestion would be to get new pots/pans. A new can opener is needed. Plenty of dishes for our use (3 adults). There were some dirty dishes in the cabinet. Overall cleanliness gets a B rating. Generally clean, but some ick factors are stains on chairs in addition to the dirty dishware. It could use a deep cleaning. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of linens available. The location is fantastic! Close to arts district and easy enough to get to downtown or the blue ridge. We walked to and explored the park trail and west end restaurants. While there are minimal sidewalks and hills, it was easy enough to do. Communication with the host worked well. He was even able to accommodate a special request, which I’m very grateful for. That reminds me, highly suggest a tour of the chocolate factory that is close by! We are so very happy we chose this area to visit. It’s amazing to see all the work that is being done to bring back the area. It’s quite incredible, actually.

Great weekend
I was in the Asheville area for two separate events and need a place for a couple nights in between. This place was perfect for me. Clean, neat and QUIET. I spent much of my time reading on the porch. Although I could see traffic on the other side of the bamboo forest, I could not hear it. The sound of the wind in the bamboo was so soothing.Bed was comfortable, linens adequate. Bathroom was clean with good water pressure in the shower. I used the washer and dryer and both worked well. Kitchen was well equipped with good quality utensils and appliances. The entirely place was nicely decorated, with a calm feel to it all.As I was driving to the place, at first I was concerned the neighborhood would be sketchy, but when you turn up the drive, you find lovely homes - several obviously renovated. It kind of had an "up and coming" vibe. I felt perfectly safe. The only problem I had was the landlord uses an older lock, like realtors use. I had trouble getting it open. I finally figured out that the numbers needed to be spun first before setting to the correct combination. I called the POC a couple times about it and he was always quick to answer - very friendly and professional. He offered to send someone to help, but I finally figured it out. I appreciated his willing to help though.

Very Nice mini vacation!
We really enjoyed our stay. We came for a 4 day vacation before school began. At first glance, it appears you are far away from everything but really you are within 2-5 miles of everything you would want to see. My husband and son enjoyed a day on the river fishing with a guide. We enjoyed a 4 hour kayak trip the following day (Ashville Adventure Co. that was 1 mi. away!). It was really fun! It was an enjoyable stay. The home is cozy! The host was very nice and responsive!

My daughter and I loved Asheville and were very comfortable in your home. Love the privacy of the bamboo in the back. There was plenty of room, very clean and any questions we had were answered promptly. There was construction on the street but that could not be helped and I’m sure it is temporary. The coffee maker is getting tired but still worked. We would choose your home again, thank you!

Easy to find, easy parking, unit within walking distance to the river arts district. Nice, eclectic area. Friendly neighborhood. Good response from hosts. Appreciate the extras, like an extension cord already in the unit. A lot of the times there simply aren’t enough lamps and lighting. Both were ample in the bamboo bungalow.

Bamboo Bungalow
We decided last minute to take a quick week away. After being together in a car for 11 hours, I was looking for a place to stay where we wouldn't be right on top of each other for 5 days. We really enjoyed our stay at the Bamboo Bungalow. It had a nice front and back porch that I had hoped to sit out on and get some sun, but neither porch really got much sun d/t the trees out front and the bamboo forest in the back. That might have been fine if the weather had been warmer, but we booked for mid April so it was a cool 50s- 60s. Still enjoyable listening to and watching the birds out back. The inside was immaculate. And the location was close to a lot of places to do outside activities and eat. Once we figured our way around, it was easy to get places. The only drawback for me was I didn't realize there was no off street parking until we arrived. Owner must have awesome neighbors though, because the space in front of the house was always available every time we came back. The street itself was very quiet, albeit intimidatingly narrow and winding. We would definitely book again if we ever come back to that area. The owner was very responsive to every request/question we had and that was awesome. This was a short vacation so we didn't do any cooking, but the appliances seemed very new. I would recommend placing a King sized bed in the master bed room and updating the couch in the TV area. But otherwise we really enjoyed the home, Thanks for having us!!

Bamboo retreat
We came for a few days to visit Ashville and the biltmore. We drove into the neighborhood and saw multiple people walking their dogs and one family with a stroller. This made us feel very safe and secure. The house was easy to spot as it is surrounded by bamboo. We also loved the proximity to the park, the river, breweries, and the biltmore. I would highly recommend staying here if you have the opportunity.
