Private, Quiet, Creative Retreat - Dog Friendly - 15 min to Downtown Asheville
Located just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville and minutes from Weaverville, this space offers the perfect balance of access and escape, close to restaurants, breweries, and the River Arts District, while still providing a quiet, peaceful place to unwind. The studio is ideal for guests who appreciate design, character, and a stay that feels a little different. Inside, you’ll find a bright, open living area with comfortable seating, a cozy king bedroom designed for restful nights, a fully equipped kitchenette for simple meals and morning coffee, a dining area for relaxing or planning your day, and a full bathroom with a shower/tub and fresh towels provided. Unique artwork and creative touches are woven throughout, along with a thoughtful doggy kit to help your pup feel at home. The painted plywood floors, artistic walls, and eclectic details reflect the building’s creative past and are part of what makes this stay special.
The property sits on a private, quiet road overlooking 50+ acres of rolling hills with long-range views, just 5 minutes from historic Weaverville where you can walk to local eateries, galleries, and small-town charm, with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, nearby breweries, and local art spots. It’s also walkable to Emerald Ridge Wedding Venue and just a 3-minute drive to JuneBug Retro Resort. Good to know: well-behaved dogs are welcome (and leashed outside at all times), and it’s designed for relaxing stays rather than parties or events, with easy, flexible self check-in, this is also a nonsmoking property.
There is also a second rental on the property, The Nook (VRBO Property Listing 5205584), a cozy tiny bungalow, perfect if you’re traveling with another couple or friends and want to stay nearby while still having your own space.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and 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.
