Roll out of bed in the heart of West Asheville, grab coffee down the block, and wander Haywood Road to restaurants, live music, breweries, and the River Arts District.

One king bed, one full bath, a private entrance, and free daily attraction tickets, including Biltmore Estate, for stays under 28 nights.
The Space:
THE SPACE
We designed this upstairs efficiency studio for guests who love being in the center of it all. You'll come in through your own private entrance to a bright, open-concept room with a comfortable king bed, a Smart TV with streaming, fast wifi, and a desk with a dedicated workspace, so it works just as well for a remote-work week as for a long weekend. The studio is yours alone, and we've set out extra pillows and blankets, bed linens, towels, and high-quality bath essentials so you can settle in right away. Heating and air conditioning keep you comfortable year-round.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
• Studio (open-concept sleeping area): 1 king bed
• Bathroom: 1 full bathroom with hot water, towels, and high-quality bath essentials
KITCHEN & DINING
Our well-equipped kitchenette has what you need for easy mornings and simple meals in. You'll find a mini fridge with freezer, a microwave, a stove and oven, a Keurig and coffee maker, a toaster, cookware, cooking basics, and dishes and silverware. When you'd rather eat out, plenty of cafés and restaurants are a short stroll away (see The Neighborhood below).
OUTDOORS
Step onto your private patio, settle into the outdoor seating, and take in city and mountain views with your morning coffee or an evening drink. Many guests tell us the patio makes the studio feel larger than its footprint, and we think that's the best part, too.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
You're in West Asheville, right on Haywood Road, one of the city's most walkable stretches. Browse the boutiques, record shops, and bookstores of Haywood Road Shops (2 min walk), then grab a casual bite at Asheville Sandwich Company (4 min walk), pastries and coffee at OWL Bakery (5 min walk), or dinner at The Admiral for New American (5 min walk). Biscuit Head for breakfast is a 3 min drive, and Nine Mile for Caribbean-inspired food is a 6 min drive. For a change of scenery, New Belgium Brewery's riverfront taproom, with views, food trucks, and outdoor seating, is a 5 min drive. The River Arts District, full of converted warehouses, galleries, studios, and murals, is a 6 min drive, and downtown Asheville's historic spots, indie shops, and restaurants are 8 min away by car.
FREE DAILY FUN
Your stay includes free daily attraction tickets for select local experiences, including Biltmore Estate, for reservations under 28 nights. It's a lovely way to explore and save a little money.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Check-in: Self check-in with a smartlock. We'll send your door code 2 days before arrival, so there are no keys to pick up and no one to meet.
• Parking: Free parking is included with your stay.
• Stairs: This is an upstairs, walk-up unit with no elevator, so please plan ahead if stairs are a challenge.
• Noise: The studio sits above a separate lower-level unit and next door to a working lumber yard, so daytime noise is common, especially on weekdays. Nearby bars can bring some music on weekend nights. If you're a light sleeper or are looking for total seclusion, this may not be the best fit, and we'd rather you know up front.
• Finding us: The studio is tucked back from the street, so please give yourself a few extra minutes when you arrive.
• Pets: We're sorry, no pets at this unit.
• Wifi: Fast wifi that handles streaming, Zoom calls, and working remotely.
• Your host: I'm Corey with PMI Blue Ridge. We love Asheville and our guests, and if you need anything at all, we're just a text away.
Guest Access:
You’ll have private access to the entire studio. Entry is via a smartlock—code sent 2 days before check-in.

Other Things to Note:
This is an upstairs unit with private entry. Please note there’s no elevator. This apartment sits above a separate lower-level unit and next door to a working lumber yard — daytime noise is common, especially on weekdays. It’s walkable to the best of West Asheville, but expect some city bustle. Not ideal for light sleepers or those seeking total seclusion.
Interaction with Guests:
We’re here if you need anything, but you’ll have full privacy and autonomy.
