About this house rental
Take your coffee to the front porch and look out at the mountains, then let the dog run in the fully fenced backyard. Built for families traveling with the dog: fenced yard, Pack 'n Play, self check-in, and both full baths remodeled in 2026 with oak double vanities and a walk-in glass shower. 10 to 15 minutes to downtown, 10 to the Biltmore Estate entrance, 7 to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Guests come back for repeat stays, and reviews keep calling it one of the best Airbnbs they have stayed in.

All three bedrooms and both full baths are upstairs; there is no bedroom on the main level.
