Fantastic stay! We were a large group. The space for everyone was awesome! The proximity to downtown was great too! No problems communicating with host, although we didn’t need to while there, just checkin and checkout. We loved feeding the birds and squirrels out back and watching them gather as we enjoyed our coffee in the mornings. Would definitely recommend!

Oh my, what a treat! Just the home was a vacation treat! An older home with many new renovations —“So Fun” with eclectically gathering of furniture! It was as much fun enjoying the furnishings as it was perusing the shops downtown. My husband and I stayed in the downstairs apartment! So well-equipped, you need not bring much of anything. Kids and families stayed upstairs. Thank you, Paula!

Loved the unique home, so many fun things to look at. The kitchen was great to cook in. Had everything we needed to make some great meals. The whole family loved the birds. Having a fenced-in front yard was great for our dog. The internet was a bit slow, but we did have 7 people. Also, the bed on the first floor is best for 1 adult, maybe ok for 2 kids. Great communication with the host, always got back to me quickly.

This was such a cute place to stay! It’s the perfect distance from downtown. We were able to walk everywhere but also were far enough away that we weren’t dealing with the noise and chaos of the city.

We had a great time at the Dragonfly cottage in Asheville! It's such a beautiful historical home, with character and personality and within walking distance to great restaurants, the art museum, and other attractions. We loved that there were so many original features in the house - beautiful fireplaces in every room, antique furniture, original baseboards, etc. Paula was great in terms or communication and attending to our every need.

Like most areas of Asheville, this neighborhood, has a high concentration of homeless people on the street. However, we had no issues with safety while staying at this house. The house is very old but has a lot of charm. We enjoyed our stay.

Charming home in walking distance to downtown. Very well equipped and clean. Check in was no problem. Would definitely return. If you keep the bird feeders full you can have a wonderful bird show!

The first thing to know is that the homeless hang out in the park across the street. The home was musty smelling, and had serious signs of wear such as torn rugs, old mattresses, and the deck area was dirty. One of the upstairs bathrooms is in dire need of an update. Scratched up toilet, dingy. The deck area had ancient dirty chairs, and the couch cushions were left outside to mildew and get bird poop on.This was clearly the renter’s home and not really a a true rental. We were told check out time was 10:00 am, yet someone came to clean at 9:30 am, while one guest was still there! This rental looks cute, but I wouldn’t stay here again. I was very disappointed. The only positives were, the location within the city was central, and the downstairs bathroom and kitchen were lovely. This place was cute 10 years ago, now it’s just tired. I’m not surprised it’s for sale. The pictures on the realtor’s site are not real. Sad.

The house was clean and very cute. A couple of things I would have liked to know before we went. 1 the upstairs bedrooms have window units so the doors need to be kept closed to keep them cool. 2 the park across the street is crawling with homeless people. If the house was location was different we would have been fine but the park and housing authority right across the street made a big difference. We couldn't enjoy the front porch due to profanity being yelled constantly and we were not comfortable walking on the street after dark. We had intentionally gotten a house close to downtown because we were planning to walk everywhere. Once we got there we quickly realized that would not be the case. I wish this house was located somewhere else so that the neighborhood wouldn't hurt the rental.
