About this house rental

Situated in Historic Montford, this charming house for $98 per night is a great choice for your next break. This cozy two-story 1905 Carriage House was renovated over the last 50 years to function as a modern home while retaining historic integrity and charm (the main house burned down in the 70's). This was my architectural design studio while I lived in the cottage next door, during the construction of my new home on the front part of the property about 8 years ago (featured in Fall 2010 Fine Homebuilding magazine). Accessed by a quiet old narrow carriage alley, within 12 min walk to our vibrant downtown, UNCA, and convenient to I-240, yet in the middle of a registered historic neighborhood of lovingly restored homes and B&B's, huge hardwood trees, brick sidewalks and a greenway along a creek. Wood floors and windows throughout, tastefully furnished with leather couch, table for 6, W/D, fully equipped kitchen (incl utensils, pots/pans, cooktop, microwave, etc), (no DW), two sets of linens, comforters, etc., CATV, wireless internet, and all utilities included. 12mb wireless network is private, but shared with the cottage next door. The House is on two levels, with the larger master bedroom and bath (with shower) on the lower level (unfinished storage bay makes up the remainder of the ground level), with a door spilling out to the covered stone patio. Other rooms are upstairs, including a second bedroom and bath, with a clawfoot tub, the living area flowing out to a large elevated deck tucked under a mature tree canopy, surrounded by lush landscaping creating privacy and shade. The Carriage House is adjacent to my circa 1940 rental cottage (#431599) 30 day minimum, unless gaps between reservations allow shorter stay, 2 week min. Also within 10 min walk to Wholefoods grocery, Trader Joes, YMCA and yoga studios. Montford has several great neighborhood restaurants, parks, and a historic cemetery. . This is a perfect place to stay while relocating. The driveway from the one-way alley is between two stone walls and is tight, so large SUV's or trucks are discouraged, others require a little patience until you get the hang of it. Parking for three cars is shared with the cottage, so one car each unit is preferred. I live and work on the other side of a lush evergreen hedgerow, in case something needs attention.

We knew we would love this place when two little chickens met us at our car. Close to 3 great grocery stores and 2 restaurants we frequented a lot. So close to downtown that we found it easier to Uber than drive and park. No pay channels so we brought our IPad and watched movies on that. Thanks for a great stay!

The carriage house location is perfect for walking to Downtown Asheville, grocery stores, UNC tailgate, neighborhood restaurants, historic cemetery, and parks. I loved the quiet neighborhood and the glorious sound of birds. It’s a quick ride to the Riverfront Arts District and other neighboring communities. Also easy ride to Blue Ridge Parkway and NC Arboretum. Our Asheville adventure was wonderful with the carriage house and it’s perfect location contributing to that experience.

We loved our stay. The hone us furnished well and very comfortable. It was private and close to all that Asheville has to offer. The only drawback was the narrow entrance to the place from the alley. Otherwise it would have rated a 5.

The carriage house is a perfectly sized space for friends or couples, with a separate entrance to the second bedroom/bathroom. It’s in walking distance to everything. I thoroughly enjoyed being there.

The adorable house is nestled in an alley in a safe and gorgeous area. The historic homes are breathtaking! You can right right out the door just a block or so to a paved trail that loops up through UNC. Perfect! The owner is warm and friendly and has wonderful communication.

This is a cozy, comfortable and charming cottage located in a beautiful neighborhood that is perfect for daily walks. Walking distance to neighborhood and downtown restaurants and to Harris Teeter's, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods! Great access to everything Asheville! The Visitor's Center is a wonderful resource.

We enjoyed staying at this updated carriage conveniently located in Montfort. It was within walking distance of grocery stores (3), restaurants, downtown, and the visitors center. There was off street parking and our landlord was extremely responsive to our needs. We would definitely stay again. There is a ground level bedroom and on suite bathroom with another upstairs. Stairs were not a problem for us. The neighborhood is very quiet and we slept well.

Great location! Dog allowed👍🏻 Accidentally got home with the small white towel-bath mat from the lower level in my laundry basket… sorry!
