Guest Access:
Your space is entirely private. It has private entrance. We live upstairs above the rental and are happy to accommodate guests in any way during your stay. Our historic home is newly renovated for 2024, and it now offers ample amenities and a cherished experience for guests to enjoy in this perfect location.
The Neighborhood:
Historic Montford is one of Asheville's oldest and most sought after neighborhoods. Montford is a safe and unique area of Asheville to explore. The homes are influenced by Victorian era, Arts and Craft and Queen Anne styles. Our rental location is within 6 blocks of a Whole Foods Grocery, Trader Joe's, and Harris Teeter. Some of our favorite Asheville spots are within a 5-7 minute walk from the apartment, including Nine Mile (Caribbean inspired dishes for lunch and dinner), All Day Darlin (unique and delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner options), Chiesa (housemade pasta and classic Italian dishes- dinner only) and High Five (coffee shop featuring Counter Culture coffee and small treats). There is a playground located down the street (1 block away), as well as the Reed Creek Greenway, which is 2 blocks away from the apartment, and connects to the Botanical Gardens and UNCA campus. From the rental, it is about a 10-20 minute walk to downtown (depending on your walking pace and downtown destination) and please note that this does include hills. For more of our top Asheville recommendations, check out our personalized guidebook on this listing, which will also be printed and located in the rental. We are also happy to provide you a PDF version of our Insider’s Guide via email.
Getting Around:
Guests can easily walk, bike, UBER, Lyft or drive to downtown Asheville. From our property, it is about a 10-20 minute walk to downtown (depending on your walking pace and downtown destination) and does include hills. UBER or Lyft will be quick (less than 5 minutes) and cheap (around $7) to downtown. Driving into downtown is always a convenient option as well but parking can be limited.
Other Things to Note:
As noted above, this is our home and we live upstairs above The Montford Jewel. The normal sounds of life can be heard (including some footsteps and possibly our small dog) but we are very mindful of our noise levels and try our best to keep sounds to a minimum. We have included white noise machines and ear plugs in each bedroom to ensure that guests remain undisturbed throughout their stay. Also, please note that there are no parties or events of any kind allowed in the Montford Jewel. Thank you.
Interaction with Guests:
We love to meet our guests but also are respectful of your privacy. We are happy to interact if you initiate but otherwise we will let you enjoy your space. Please always feel free to reach out to us if you would like to chat, ask questions, or hear a local's perspective on anything Asheville. We may cross paths with you when we let our pug, Juno, out in the front yard- please feel free to say hi! She is very friendly and loves meeting new people.
