Premier vacation rental homes on Lake Lure & downtown Asheville, NC

My husband I stayed here for a long weekend and couldn't have been happier with this property. The bed is super-comfy, the kitchen has everything you need to cook (not that we did...too many amazing places to eat in Asheville), and the location is fantastic. There are many cool restaurants, shops, and breweries within a 1-5 minute walk. Having Netflix was a plus (we may have stayed in a binged a little Stranger Things because of some rainy weather) and although I was a little skeptical of the close proximity of the lumberyard, at night and on... read moreMy husband I stayed here for a long weekend and couldn't have been happier with this property.

Having Netflix was a plus (we may have stayed in a binged a little Stranger Things because of some rainy weather) and although I was a little skeptical of the close proximity of the lumberyard, at night and on the weekends this little apartment is really quiet. We loved it, and can't wait to stay here again! read less

A great place for us to explore Asheville! Gorgeous place, comfortable King bed, and very clean. Nearby Sunnypoint cafe was terrific. One thing you should know is that this is located next to a lumber yard so after 8am (at least weekdays when we stayed) you'll hear a fork truck picking out lumber next door. Overall, we'd stay here again without reservation.

West nest was exactly as pictured- great furnishings, large and comfortable bed- exactly what we needed in a place to stay during 5 days in beer city USA. Location is slightly outside of downtown Asheville, but only by a 5 minute drive or so. West Asheville also has plenty to do right on the road that west nest is on. We loved it and would recommend it.

We were in town for a few nights for work, and Bruce's place was perfect. The West Asheville location was just what we needed. It checked all of our boxes - easy to access, free parking, good quality coffee and food within steps of the place, space to work, a super comfy bed, and last but not least, a great little deck to sit on when we needed to decompress after work with a cocktail and fresh air. We will be happy to stay at Bruce's place next time we are in the area!

Our first time using Airbnb and it was perfect. Mike was always responded quickly with any questions we had. He recommended lots of restaurants and breweries. We were walking distance to some of best spots in West Asheville!

Excellent! We so enjoyed our time! We spent NYE 2018 at the cabin, and it was perfect. It was relaxing and beautiful. The cabin was clean, well-appointed, and charming. Bruce was so helpful in answering questions about Lake Lure and Asheville restaurants and attractions. We appreciated it very much! Can’t wait to stay again!

This was our first time to Asheville and having a nice place to lay was a nice touch. Clean and minutes away from everything.

Location location location! This spot was a perfect private space for an anniversary weekend getaway. You cannot beat the price for being so close to everything in West Asheville. Would definitely stay here again in the future!

nice location in a new building with quick walking access to the main streets of Asheville. easy parking. comfortable place for four adults. outfitted with all we needed and more.
we were very pleased at how quickly and well Bruce responded to what turned out to be a small and ultimately irrelevant concern we had upon our arrival. we'd be pleased to return.

Our stay was lovely, an adorable studio perfect for two, and the location was perfect for a lovely stroll through the town and the beautiful art work along the way.

Great place to spend a long weekend! Pictures don't do the place and location the justice. Top notch!

Great pick! I really enjoyed my stay with friends for a quick getaway. This location is prime to downtown- you can easily walk to restaurants, bars, and shopping. It’s very spacious and well appointed. I would certainly stay here again.

Great location in West Asheville. Lots of places within walking distance and a short uber ride to downtown. Mike is a great host and his place is wonderful! Highly suggest staying here.

Amazing Lake Lure cabin - perfect for a family getaway! The house is tucked away on a quiet cove, but is really close to all Lake Lure has to offer. We loved using the kayak and ending each night at the fire pit overlooking the water. The house is wonderfully appointed - sonos speaker, stocked kitchen, comfy beds, etc.

My wife and I came and stayed for our anniversary. It was great! Walking distance to two breweries, a pizza place, and a bunch of other awesome west Asheville things. Check in and check out were super easy too. We'll be back 🙂

Great place! Very convenient location. Comfy bed!!

Great Condo in an excellent location close to everything downtown. Super clean and the transaction was seamless.

What a little gem of a place! Someone has a great eye for decorating and maximizing space. We walked to The Admiral and had a fabulous dinner. The lumber folks were up early driving trucks around, so if you are a light sleeper that might be an issue. But honestly, good value, clean, and very, very pretty. We'll stay there again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful Time!! The Enchanted Cottage is beautiful! Our family had a wonderful time, lots of fun and fantastic memories. Kayaking, canoeing and daily boat rides were so fun and relaxing. We got lots of exercise, too, just hiking to/from the house and boathouse! The views are stunning. The teens had the entire bottom floor to themselves and it was perfect. We highly recommend it and would definitely would go back!!

While this apartment is beautifully furnished and conveniently located, I was disappointed with the check in process. After a 6 hour drive, timed to arrive at the listed check-in time of 3:00, we arrived to find that the apartment was still being cleaned and weren't able to enter until almost 4:00 instead. We were okay with a little bit of a wait and left a message for the host to ask when we could check in. He returned my call after 4:00 and seemed to have suddenly changed the check-in time to 4:00 without communicating that to us.

We were surprised because the host had great and very detailed communication prior to our arrival, so they may have just had an off day. The space was very clean and well appointed - just make sure you confirm your check in time with the host on the day of your arrival and you will likely enjoy your stay. We enjoyed the comfortable bed, and being so close to a lot of great restaurants. read less

Bruce's place was very nice and cosy. Had all the creature comforts and conveniently located in the heart of town. He was great to deal with - everything went smoothly

I could not be happier with my experience at the West nest. We had a blast in Asheville and this air bnb was the perfect spot to call home base. The bed was SO comfortable. The decor was beautiful and unique. It was all perfect and the bottle of sparkling water and wine was a very nice touch

Bruce was super responsive and provided personal suggestions of things to do and see in the area! Place was very roomy and clean!

This home is amazing. Right on the cove with kayaks on hand to travel out and be able to watch the sunrise from the lake. They have thought of it all even items on hand for littles to sleep comfortable. Tons of games. WiFi. This home made it feel like home in the mountains on the lake. It was cozy and inviting. Great location.

Great location with easy access to everything exciting in West Asheville. Also the bed is a major plus.

I loved my stay! The porch was especially a fun feature to have for coffee in the morning. No complaints at all. I’d recommend this if you want a good West Asheville location with a quick drive to downtown.

Heart of Asheville Nice, modern condo inthe heart of Asheville.
Included an indoor parking spot.
Nice extras, coffee, toiletries etc.
(Not a lot of mugs or wine glasses so u have to wash them as u use them)
Easy to clean up kitchen, & fully equipped .
Big master bedroom, smaller beds in 2 nd bedroom.
Near restaurants (& bus station) ,& great little food market on French Broad st nearby.

The West Nest is a great place to stay for a trip to Asheville. The place is just as advertised, and is conveniently located. Mike was a great host as well and brought by some rock salt for the stairs when it started to snow. Would recommend for any solo traveler or a couple spending the weekend in Asheville.

This condo is wonderful and the location is really walking distance to everywhere in Asheville

Spacious and beautiful with an amazing view!! Quick response time and great hospitality. Wished we had a couple more days to enjoy all the area and house offered!! Great house to enjoy with family and friends!

Mike made us feel welcome before we even arrived and was great with communication to make our trip as smooth as possible. He was more than willing to suggest restaurants, bars and things to do in the area. Leaving a bottle of wine for my girlfriend and I was a great touch. For the price, cleanliness and proximity to Asheville's attractions, would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed Mike's place! Convenient location & nice place. This was our first time with Airbnb so we were hesitant, but it was great!

Great place to stay. Clean and within walking distance to good eateries. Our host, Mike, was always quick to respond and offered recommendations upon request. Top notch operation.

Great location and apartment. We have stayed here twice and plan to be back.

This place is fantastic. Right in the heart of it. Couldn't ask for better accommodations in Asheville if you're trying to stay downtown and want to be close to everything. Will definitely consider staying here again!

Would definitely stay again!! This property was better than described! Location couldn’t have been better. The amenities were top notch and very well stocked. Parking was exceptional. I can’t wait to visit Asheville again and stay at this property! Thanks so much for the hospitality!!!

Complete relaxation Incredible views! Very user friendly with plenty of great and different areas to relax and soak up the experience.

Stayed here for a few days, the apartment was beautiful and clean. The host was accommodating and answered all of our questions. The location was close to everything downtown.

Clean and Comfortable Great stay. Beds and other furniture were very comfortable. One of the best-stocked rentals I have stayed in. Good location that was very walkable to downtown. Only complaint was that the WiFi was pretty bad and could definitely use an upgrade. It didn't work well and dropped often and we only had one device on it.

Both Mike and the West Nest were just perfect. The house was cozy and stylish. The location couldn't have been better: step outside into the heart of West Asheville or take a longer stroll to the River Arts District and downtown. And Mike was a timely communicator with terrific recommendations. We hope to be back someday soon!

We loved staying at West Nest! The location was perfect and Mike’s place was really cozy. We also loved the bed! So comfy, just like Mike and all the reviewers said

A great place to stay in West Asheville. Dozens of amazing restaurants and a wonderful neighborhood to explore. The Nest was a comfortable studio with all the amenities that made it easy to relax and enjoy our time here!

Peaceful paradise on Lake Lure! What a perfect spot we chose to have a wonderful Christmas for our family. There apwere so many things to do in the surrounding areas that we simply just ran out of time. However; I am glad that we got to take some time to enjoy conversation around the fire pit and morning coffee on the screened in patio overlooking the beautiful lake

Mike was quick to respond to some confusion we had our second night. A beautiful place to stay and super close to so many fun local shops.
Would absolutely stay here again.

My husband and I had a great stay at The West Nest. The space is exactly as pictured- clean, stylish, has all the amenities you’d need and then some! Walking distance to several great spots and a short drive to the rest. We would be happy to stay here again some day!

Beautiful place! Great for large groups! The house was lovely and very spacious! We had 9 people here and there was plenty of space for everyone and all the beds weren't even used.
The tram is a lifesaver and location was great. Not a long drive down the mountain to get to the town of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock.

We absolutely loved staying in West Nest. The location could not be more perfect! You are in walking distance of anything you wish to do on Haywood Rd, and is super convenient to other Asheville attractions. The space is super cool, with awesome decor, and is fitted out with anything you think you might need (french press, coffee pot, coffee beans, grinder, all cooking utensils, iron, hair dryer, etc.) When we arrived, there had been a bit of freezing rain (super cold weather in Asheville that weekend!), and Mike had already salted the entrywa... read moreWe absolutely loved staying in West Nest.

Mike was very prompt with responding to us when we had questions about the space, and was an amazingly hospitable host. Would definitely book this place again for a stay in Asheville. read less

We enjoyed our stay, it had the privacy we wanted plus an easy check-in/check-out process during these times. For us, the balcony and great coffee shop across the street were added bonuses. It’s walkable to a nice bakery, restaurants, bars. Comfortable bed, basic cable/Netflix, kitchen amenities, greeted with a nice bottle of wine. Would stay again if we’re back in the area!

Bruce's beautiful condo is within walking distance to shops, restaurants, breweries, etc. His directions and check-in instructions were perfect and he always returned our messages quickly. The condo is new and very nicely decorated. Lots of amenities and most importantly, comfortable beds! 🙂 It was a true home-away-from-home. Would absolutely stay there again.

mike is very responsive and helpful. Super close location to downtown and the biltmore! Good place for two

A Lakeside Gem of a Holiday! My husband and 5 year old son spent July 4 week in this beautiful part of the world. Lake Lure is like a trip back in time and this cottage is a perfect fit!

The multiple outdoor balconies were amazing. We had four or five to choose from but the pontoon boat was definitely the highlight. The canoe and kayaks were also great fun.

We also needed a babsitter one night and the owners found us an amazing sitter very quickly.

We will be back. Really memorable and special family holiday that we’ll never forget. read less

The property is clean, in a GREAT location, and modern without being overdone. Great Value! Our host went out of his way to make sure we had a great time with advice and suggestions. I will stay again and will recommend to others.

We loved the view in this great space and place. Thanks Bruce and Jo for being such fantastic hosts!

We loved the location. Haywood St has so many great restaurants and shops. Very laid back vibe. Everywhere else we went was just a 10 minute drive. West Nest was super comfortable. Can't wait to return.

Great location to restaurants, brewery’s, art district and all of downtown Asheville. Very clean and comfortable condo. Bruce is a great host and offered great tips and suggestions!

Top notch location on the water on Lake Lure. Very spacious clean place with numerous sleeping spots, decks for lounging, etc. VERY close to all Lake Lure attractions, including zip lines, Chimney Rock shops, Chimney Rock State Park, gem mining at Chimney Rock, Hickory Nut Creek Gorge Brewery, Ingles supermarket, restaurants (LURED!), etc. You really do not appreciate how CENTRAL and amazing this location is until you experience it.

Inclusion of the pontoon boat is a HUGE value (don't overlook the savings there and daily use opportunity compared to renting). Wifi extends to the deck/dock area for playing music, working, etc., which is very convenient. I am a huge cook and love to cook and I can attest that the kitchen is VERY stocked with all cooking utensils you would need (for example, I made baked ziti, chicken pot pies, full hot breakfast, etc. with no issues at all). There are a ton of life jackets for the boat, but do check with Bruce regarding youth sizes (we brought 2 just to be safe). If you visit in March like we did, please note you will need to be vigilant getting gas back in the boat because the local marina with the gas pump has odd hours when it is not peak vaca season. The super long kitchen table is AWESOME for family meals together. There is an automatic gas fireplace in the main living room that is PERFECT for keeping warm if you visit when the weather gets chilly. Loved the fire pit on the main level and we used that to make a fire every night with S'Mores. read less

Great location and comfortable space to go back to, the area that it is in is a short walk to many cool restaurants/stores/bars that West Asheville has to offer. Will definitely be staying here again!

If you are going to Asheville you should definitely stay at Mike’s place. Location was awesome to West Asheville fun and a very short Uber to downtown. The apartment was immaculately decorated and had everything you could possibly need! The bed was so comfortable we had a great night sleep and watching Netflix some mornings. One of the best AirnBnB experiences I’ve ever had!

The house was super great. We loved our stay here. The house is well kept, nicely updated, and stocked with pretty much everything you could need for a stay. The cove was great and the Mountain View from the lake is just incredible.

Fantastic stay! We had such a wonderful time in the Enchanted cottage. Excellent communication with the owner and the property was beautiful. Just as expected and more!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the cottage. The host communicated well and was very personable. We had intended to explore the area more, but the cottage was so comfortable inside and out that we spent most of the weekend there. Multiple balconies provide awesome views of Lake Lure and the mountain backdrop. The location was great, only a couple minutes drive to the many restaurants and shops around the lake.

We will certainly look here first the next time we're coming to the area. I would recommend you do the same!

Perfect location and accommodations!

Bay Escape was the perfect escape! My family and certainly had a wonderful time. We had more than enough space as we were either on the screened in porch or sleeping. We will be back!

Awesome location with a super comfy bed. Would love to stay there again!

Well appointed, totally clean, and within walking distance to everything downtown!

awesome

Check in was a breeze, easy to find and right across the street from a nice coffee shop!

Great clean and nice place!

Expect a nicely furnised and extremely clean condo with good attention to the details. Enjoyed the stay and will return again.

Amazing space and incredible location!!!

This AirBnB was very clean and just as described . Kitchen was equipped with newer and better items than many other AirBnB's we've stayed at which was appreciated. In the description, the Host mentions the lumber yard next door. We didn't find the noise bad at all and whatever noise we heard was limited to the morning.

This is a stylish, unique space in a very fun part of Asheville. I loved my stay. The only caveat is that if you need darkness to sleep, it’s pretty bright day and night. The bed is extremely comfortable and the deck is so nice! I would stay again and bring an eye mask. You can’t beat the West AVL location!

We loved the West Nest! Great location and very comfortable. It was the perfect little oasis when we weren't out exploring Asheville. The location is great for everything. We were able to walk to Archetype Brewing, Owl Bakery and more and it was a very short drive to downtown! Would definitely stay here again.

My group of 12 loved the location, accomadation, funicular, fire pit, decks.....Great time was had by all. Chimney rock hiking was awesome and cute little town to walk around in and eat. Bruce was always very responsive and courteous to all my questions.

Bruce was very communicative and quick to respond. He was a great host! The condo was very spacious and clean. The location was perfect - right in downtown and a 5 min drive from the Biltmore.

Place was clean. Location was great for walking to coffee shops and bars and restaurants. Would stay again!

This place is outstanding!! We loved everything about it. It’s very stylish, clean and modern. It is right in the middle of downtown so we walked every where for great food! We couldn’t be any happier. It has perfect, safe parking and everything being on safety codes made me feel super comfortable. We’ll definitely be back! AND huge bonus, the host was amazing and gave me wonderful suggestions on where to go, etc!

Great host, beautiful location and home. Bruce was an excellent host, the house’s location has got to be one of the best views on the Lake. Excellent experience.

We had a lovely stay in West Asheville. Mike was responsive, gave us great suggestions of dining and other activities in West Asheville. Downside of the place is that while it is convenient to Asheville itself, the house is located behind an acupuncture studio and next to a gas station and lumber yard which we did not expect. It also has bright red industrial Exit signs (inside of the studio apt) that don’t turn off at night and give the room a distinctive red glow.

We loved this cozy space in West Asheville. Perfect location for visiting breweries, restaurants, etc. The bed was also super comfortable!

This place is perfect if you're looking for clean, comfortable and close to all West Asheville has to offer. The balcony is great and all amenities you'd expect to find. If you stay, walk down to Owl Bakery. It's just a short walk away and you wont be disappointed!

My wife and I were just taking a quick trip to Asheville and this was the perfect spot us to crash! It was easy for us to get the rest of Asheville from here and there were even great restaurants within walking distance.

Mike has also kept the place very updated and modern. Two thumbs up!

The Enchanted Cottage stands true to its name - it’s a lovey cottage which gives you a cozy feeling on the main floor with a gas fire place and an open concept feeling on the lower floor.
Check-in was a breeze, the cottage was nice and clean. Kids loved riding the funicular from the street level down to the Cottage, the funicular is also a good amenity to haul your luggage up and down. The views were super from all the porch’s/decks even though the bottom of the lake was visible at this time of the year.

The views were super from all the porch’s/decks even though the bottom of the lake was visible at this time of the year. The fire pit and BBQ are placed together conveniently. We were a group of 10 and there was still plenty of room for us. We made good memories for life at this cottage.
There is a super friendly dog named Ridge who visits this cottage every now and then, some kids liked it while some others were scared. Over time we learnt it will go away if you say “Ridge Go Home”.
Bruce has been a great host, he was quick in responding to all our questions/concerns. read less

Asheville with Family The location of this property was perfect for our trip. It was just 5 minutes from the Biltmore Estate and the freeway to the Blue Ridge Mountains where we went hiking. Our family was still social distancing, but if we were interested in going into bars/restaurants/retail shopping, there was plenty of that within walking distance. The condo was clean and well appointed and we received all the information needed in advance to insure our trip went smoothly. I loved this place and would definitely stay again!

Great Updated Condo Perfect girls trip location! Would definitely return.

Beautiful scenery! Loved having boat. Enjoyed firepit. House is cozy but spacious. Host very responsive. Funicular worked well!

We held a writing retreat at Bruce's house and absolutely loved it! The house is big enough to accommodate 6 adults comfortably; it has an amazing deck & kitchen and is outfitted with everything you could imagine needing; and it has beautiful lake views. Bruce is also an outstanding host who responds quickly and is willing to help accommodate your needs. Highly recommended!

Very chill, great location, good price.

If you are looking for a great spot that is convenient to coffee shops, breweries and only 10 minutes from downtown, this is your location! The space is neat and attractive with everything you need for a lovely stay in Asheville. The host also sent my backpack via Fed Ex that I forgot with my laptop, so grateful!

Awesome vacation Pretty nice place to spend vacations
we hope to do it again soon

We had a great weekend!

Clean, easy check in and had a bottle of wine waiting for us to enjoy! Also close to walking distance to most food/bars in West Asheville. Would recommend!

This is a fantastic spot in West Asheville. Walkable and close to the highway, it's a cozy well decorated space tucked just off a main street. Easy parking and check in. Couldn't have asked for more!

The location was perfect and the apartment in great condition!

Quaint, peaceful lakeside cottage Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Enchanted Cottage. The view. The boat. The decks. Everything.

West Nest is very nice, cozy, well appointed and an excellent location. I would definitely stay here again.

A perfect get away, with breath taking views of the mountain and lake. Everything that we needed was supplied and more. We had enough room for 10 and the cabin was cozy with comfortable beds. We were in awe with the three different level of porches to enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails including the area on top of the boat house.

The trolley from where we parked the cars down to the lake was especially convenient and something to talk about. Bruce was an excellent host and his place felt like home for a week. read less

Very nice, new, clean, well designed and equipped condo! Very convenient location perfect for exploring Asheville. Walking distance to many breweries, great restaurants, art galleries and fun shops! The beds are really comfortable and the linens are good quality. The host Bruce is really nice and very responsive. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

My husband and I loved the West Nest. It is in the perfect location, extremely clean, and everything was as described. Nothing was ever more than 5-15 minutes (the latter being rare occasions that were outside of town). It is not an exaggeration to say the bed may have been the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. I had trouble leaving every single day because it was so wonderful.

Our weekend stay at the West Nest was perfect! We felt right at home with all the amenities including the super comfortable bed. It was very convenient to be able to walk across the street for a coffee, cocktail or to grab lunch. Mike provided us with a bottle of wine upon arrival. We would definitely come back!

We stayed over a week and it was a perfect location to explore different areas of Asheville. We loved the close proximity to many restaurants, beer bars, and breweries - lots of great walking-distance spots (we loved Hole donuts and Taco Billy). We also really enjoyed having a deck area to hang out on in the evenings. The bed and pillows were also very comfortable and we slept great every night. Overall a great place to stay!

This place is a gem! Fairly priced and you couldn’t dream of a better location. The host was very communicative and made check-in and out very easy. Bed was super comfortable, kitchen with full size fridge, loved the balcony. It’s way cuter in real life too! Don’t hesitate to book this place — we will gladly stay here again when visiting!

This place was fantastic!! I would stay here again for sure!!

Vacation Nice place enjoyed being close to downtown

Wonderful place! Great location!

Wonderful place to stay in downtown Asheville. Close walk to several restaurants and breweries. Bruce was extremely helpful and helped make our trip a great experience. Highly recommend.

Lovely amenities, great location, cozy and comfortable!!

You really cannot stay in a better location for exploring West Asheville. The Admiral is two doors west, WALK is across the street from the Admiral, and directly across the street from the apartment is a good coffeehouse and a cool dive bar. River Arts & downtown are minutes away.

Loved our stay in Asheville, it was the perfect location from everything. couldn't have asked for anything better! Thanks again for the great hospitality!

Such a great place! It looks exactly if not better than the pictures! So, so close to downtown- you can walk there no problem. Both bathrooms are a GREAT size. WiFi was fast, having a TV in both bedrooms was nice. I loved having a balcony to sip my morning coffee. I will stay there again when I come back to Asheville.

Enchanted Cottage is a great name for this little beauty. So much charm and character! The perfect mountain cottage! Bruce is a great host! There were nice touches throughout the cottage to make us feel like we were in a home away from home. Our favorite things were views from the screened porch and the fire pit!

This place exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The apartment was immaculate — our impression was that it was a brand new, fully outfitted apartment and the indoor parking was a total bonus. The location was perfect, too. Walking distance to everything downtown Asheville has to offer. We will definitely be back to stay here!!!

Absolutely LOVED this home. It was perfect for our group for a long weekend trip, and the lake is gorgeous. The funicular tram is a cool touch, and with the house being down on the lake, gives you some privacy from the neighbors. We loved that the two decks and a dock, and plenty of space inside as well. Bruce is arguably one of the best host’s I’ve had with Air BnB - he was extremely helpful & communicative with us when we needed it. Would definitely book again!

Great place Wonderfull

The West Nest is the best nest. I loved being close to Battlecat coffee and great restaurants in WAVL. The downtown area is just a short drive away! The hosts were responsive to our needs. Would certainly stay again!

The West Nest is a great home base in Asheville, perfect for a couple or a single traveler wanting to hike and wander the city. I would definitely stay again.

It is located in West Asheville, near the Battle Cat coffee shop and a quick walk away from gems like Pizza Mind, Taco Billy and Hole (doughnuts and coffee). Downtown Asheville and the Rivers Arts district are a quick drive or longish walk away. Likewise some of the other West Asheville shops and restaurants are a quick drive or longish walk in the other direction.

It is located in West Asheville, near the Battle Cat coffee shop and a quick walk away from gems like Pizza Mind, Taco Billy and Hole (doughnuts and coffee). Downtown Asheville and the Rivers Arts district are a quick drive or longish walk away. Likewise some of the other West Asheville shops and restaurants are a quick drive or longish walk in the other direction. Getting on the highway and to the Blue Ridge Parkway is also simple and quick.

The neighborhood itself is partly residential, partly commercial — there is a lumber yard next door and a number of contractor offices. But for all that we found the apartment itself to be fairly quiet. It is set back from the road behind a house, and there were only faint strains of work in the morning and even fainter but more charming when we caught them — Karaoke at night from the Double Crown.

The bed in the apartment was very comfortable, and the eclectic decoration was bright and welcoming. The kitchen was stocked with a few basics - plates, bowls, silverware, a pot and some cooking utensils. There were also coffee beans and assorted teas, as well as a grinder, a tea kettle, and a French Press.

Mike was very responsive and friendly and left a bottle of wine for us as well as providing recommendations for where to eat.

As a few others have noted, there is a red exit sign located inside the apartment. It does cast a dim light at night, but personally it did not affect my sleep. read less

Great location in West Asheville

Best airbnb we've had in Asheville. Easy walking to shops, breweries and restaurants. Bruce was an amazing host. We were unsure what would be open due to health restrictions and he emailed a link with local updates. Great personal touches and local snacks upon arrival. The amenities were amazing with plenty of great coffee, tea and toiletries available for use. Condo was extremely clean and spacious. Everything is brand new. We had a great stay!

Great stay at West Nest! good attractions in the area and not very far from downtown for adventures!

Try Pizza Mind we were regulars there for our stay, and take the new Belgium brewery tour (even if you don't like beer like me it was so fun)

Great hospitality from Mike and a great space to stay at! We will be back when we visit Asheville again!

A super updated, clean, and comfortable place! Awesome location in walking distance or a short Uber ride to great restaurants and breweries. Mike had a ton of helpful recommendations for us that we loved!

We love Asheville and this was such a great place to stay! The location is within walking distance to our favorite hangout and we discovered some other great places while we were there. The decor is great, the bed was super comfy and we would definitely stay there again! Thanks for the great place!

This little condo is perfect for couples interested in visiting Asheville that want to be centrally located to a variety of shops and restaurants without being in the heart of downtown. However, if downtown and the Biltmore are on your list, don’t worry because you’re no more then 2 miles or so from downtown and barely 4 miles from the Biltmore.

The condo was spotless and very homey. Mike was excellent with communication and gave us more recommendations then we had time to visit!

Very clean and comfortable space in an area where you can walk to restaurants and shops. Mike was a great host!

Perfect House was a perfect location for an annual family trip. Views, entertainment areas, additional sleeping areas and of course, the boat, made for a perfect spring trip! I would recommend this property, as well as Banjoe Vacations to anyone!!

Great value, wonderful location and beautiful brand new place - would definitely recommend!

Perfect Location! Walk to incredible eateries: The Admiral; Taco Billy; Hole; snuggle up in the comfortable king size bed or take-in the perfectly crafted style of the West Nest! Instantly feels like home in the midst of your travels. The area had an incredible vibe but he place was tucked away and safe. The hosts we're quick to communicate, looking forward to a return visit!

Great stay at westnest, would recommend to all.

Nice place

Great Condo! The Condo was everything we expected and more, highly recommend it!

This is a fantastic property! Clean, spacious, well appointed, modern, comfortable, and within walking distance to almost everything downtown. Bruce communicated well with us and was helpful and informative. We highly recommend this property! Five stars!

The place was beautiful, clean, and in a perfect location. Mike and Bruce were phenomenal and we will absolutely be coming back.

Excellent place to stay in West Asheville!! Loved the antiques decorating the place and also really appreciated how it wasn’t attached to any other units (it was very quiet). Extremely clean and comfy. Would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended!

Great stay! Would definitely recommend!

This place was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We loved the West Nest. Lots of restaurants, bars, cafes within two blocks. Space is comfortable and clean. Will stay again!

looks out on parking lot, smells like Chinese food in the lobby, but all else was good.

Wow! Amazing! Incredible! The property is so beyond our expectation. The amenities are incredible. Any water sport you can think of ... it’s there. Bruce is so wonderful to advise and help - he is an great host. It was a dream family vacation that couldn’t have been any better!!!

Great accommodations with indoor parking. Walkable to restaurants, brew pubs & shopping. Easy drive to Biltmore. Great communication for check-in. Bruce made great restaurant recommendations.

Beautiful spot in a hip location close to downtown!

Great place. Centrally located to downtown. Very clean.

Great condo and great location! We had a great time here! The condo was just like the photos...very comfortable with lots of space.

Great stay. The location cannot be beat. Mike was a phenomenal host. Highly recommend and would definitely use again.

Great location to explore everything Asheville has to offer. Easy access to highway as well as a short driving distance to Asheville downtown and south slope breweries. Multiple breweries and restaurants within walking distance. We walked to New Belgium brewery and Urban Cider from here. Tons of great hiking trails off Blue Ridge Parkway as well as nearby AT trails within an hour drive. Extremely private with awesome communication with our host.

For my first airBnB. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Stylish, modern, sleek, and the host was extremely professional and responsive. Will book every time I’m in Asheville.

We had a great vacation at the cottage! Made many memories!

The Nest is a wonderful place to stay in Asheville. It’s convenient, comfortable, and cute!! There are several places to grab a bite to eat or something to drink within walking distance. But if you wish to cook yourself, the kitchen is well equipped. Mike’s place is super clean and we felt very safe there. Also, I can easily say this was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. After 4 days of hiking, this bed rejuvenated us every night! Highly recommend!

Great location in West Asheville with several fun things within walking distance such as restaurants, retail and a coffee shop. And it's still not far from downtown and the River Arts District. Great decor, full kitchen, comfortable bed and plenty of room for relaxing. Even an outdoor sitting area to sun in when it was warm enough to be outside. Will definitely be back!

Absolutely loved staying at the West Nest. The location is convenient to local restaurants and shops, the apartment was clean and Mike was excellent at communication. I highly recommend staying at the West Nest!

My stay at Bruce's place was amazing! It was clean, spacious and a close walk to all of downtown Asheville. I would highly recommend staying at Bruce's place and would love to stay here again!

Excellent hospitality

Beautiful and Relaxing You won’t find a better view and location in Lake Lure. The Enchanted Cottage is an ideal getaway but very easy to get to restaurants, grocery, and the surrounding area. Crew teams practiced on the lake which was a lot of fun. Wifi is strong and Bruce is always responsive should you have any questions. My small children loved the place too. And there is even a guitar to boot, so what’s not to like? We would return in a heartbeat.

Awesome house and location with an even better host!!

GREAT location! Very central to all of West Asheville, either by walk or uber. It was clean and comfortable, and perfect for a 2 night getaway. Check in was easy, and while we did not need to contact Mike during our stay, he was very responsive prior. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location, easy to communicate with.

Beautiful Family Adventure The house was plenty big enough for us all to have space, yet come together to enjoy precious family time of games, fires and family dinners. The lake and view are simply stunning. The use of the pontoon boat was a very sweet addition which we used daily. The staff and owners were very communicative and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our family adventure on Lake Lure.

This place was amazing. First time in Asheville and we will definitely be coming back. Perfect location for us to be able to go to the surrounding areas with the interstate so close.

Great cozy west asheville location. Very clean and beautifully decorated. We stayed 5 nights and would absolutely do it again! Mike was very responsive to messages and had bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. Very easy and comfortable.

Great location in West Asheville and while close to the main road it is a bit hidden and private. It was very clean and nicely decorated, the bed was big and comfortable, and Mike was great at communicating.

The West Nest is a perfect location just minutes outside of Asheville. West Asheville has a lot to offer too. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need and more. Very secure and walkable to a lot of things.

Great place! Quiet yet close to everything. Bed was comfortable. Bottle of wine was a great touch! Overall a great stay!

Location was ideal to access different parts of Asheville. Quiet, private spot and very comfortable bed! Mike was quick to respond.

Mike's place could not be more perfectly located for your trip to Asheville. It felt like everything was less than 10 minutes away at all times. Easy to walk from especially if you like brunch food or breweries!

Great location. Close to several places to eat and drink. Would stay again

summer escape Awesome location on the lake with spectacular views. Plenty of space for the kids to hang out downstairs while adults relax on the screened in porch. Kitchen is small but has everything you need, and we took advantage of the grill available.The host was very responsive and helpful, and the boat was great to have. I would highly recommend. My only complaint is that we couldn't stay all week because it was already booked!!!

Mike's West Nest was awesome! The property was just as described. The bed was extremely comfy and the overall atmosphere of the West Nest was very cozy and welcoming, not to mention very clean. The place is within walking distance to many great restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.

Exactly what we needed for a wedding weekend in Asheville. Would stay again!

Great little spot awesome location!

This place is in a perfect location! That cannot be emphasized enough. The house itself is tucked away to give you a great feeling of exclusive. I highly recommend staying here if it is available.

Great little place in the heart of West Asheville. Definitely recommend! Before traveling down all our friends recommended we had to go to The Admiral for dinner - and what a great surprise it was literally right down the street from where here! We will be back!

Beautiful property in an awesome location! This property is a must stay! Updated and spacious! I traveled with 2 teenagers who loved going back to the condo to relax after a day of walking and shopping downtown! Just a few blocks away! The beds where very comfortable and the open floor plan was a bonus. The owner Bruce was very helpful and super friendly! Do yourself a favor and stay here!

We really enjoyed our stay in Mike's very cute and cosy apartment. We found it really handy to walk or bike to restaurants, breweries, and bars on Haywood Rd - there's so many great places in the neighborhood there's really no need to leave West Asheville! It was about a $6 Uber ride when we did venture into Downtown. The apartment was very comfortable, and always nice and cool after a hot day out exploring. Nice to have a well-equipped kitchen and full stove and fridge, though there's so much good food nearby we didn't make use of it.

Cozy, modern space. Very clean and private. It was nice to be able to walk right over to the Admiral for dinner and also grab a coffee on the way back. Great location and will certainly stay here again.

The Enchanted Cottage was a cozy getaway for our family. We were there in early April and the weather was perfect for taking the pontoon boat out and exploring the lake and fishing as well as kayaking, paddleboarding, and canoeing in the water. It was still too cold for swimming! The house and boat were just the right size for our group of four adults and three children without feeling too crowded.

The deck above the boat house is perfect for fishing, getting some sun, enjoying a nice drink... The location of the house can't be beat for its proximity to shopping, sights, and Chimney Rock Park. You don't even have to drive anywhere if you don't want to and can still access the beach area with a kayak/canoe/paddleboard or the boat. It is literally minutes away on the water.
The house is comfortable, but be aware that this is an older home; more rustic than modern. read less

Incredible location, walking distance from some of West Asheville’s best restaurants (including: SUNNY POINT CAFE, Nine Mile, Zia Tacqueria, Taco Billy, Hole, and directly across the street from Battle Cat Coffee). The space is open, clean, private, bright (so many lamps!). We couldn’t have asked for a better place. The kitchen is great for cooking a full meal, and there’s two grocery stores relatively nearby. The king bed is indeed fit for a king. Overall, we’ll be back ❤️

Amazing "hideaway" spot. This apartment is a bit hidden and in a fabulous location to explore a hip area of West Asheville. It's easy to get into town if you want, if not, there are hip bars, restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Mike was a great host and very responsive to anything we needed. We would totally stay here again.

Great condo....clean....well located. Bruce was very helpful. Highly recommend.

If you want a convenient location next to all West Asheville has to offer than do not hesitate booking the West Nest. Modern and specious - a home away from home. Walking distance to great food and breweries. A short distance from downtown. West Asheville is a true gem. Super easy check in and prompt communication. Overall great experience.

The West Nest offers an incredible location for those wishing to explore the delights of West Asheville, and with a little bit of a walk, the River Arts District. Located right on Haywood in the 300 block, the property offers private space atop a garage, with its own private deck and easy entry through a key pad system. Know that this is an urban location! And that's fantastic if you are a city person!! There's a lumber yard adjacent to the property but honestly its really not a big deal.

The space itself is a perfectly appointed studio with a lovely king bed, gracious loveseat, comfy chair, and is really quite delightfully decorated. There's a restful grace to the Nest, and you can feel like you've truly arrived 'home' when you sit outside enjoying the afternoon sun. A lovely bottle of wine was left for us at check-in. There's private free parking, and the apartment is up a flight of stairs.

Bruce and Mike were fantastic hosts. Response time on any issue, before, during or after our stay, was accomplished within an hour. We received an extensive list of restaurants, both in West Asheville and Downtown, to explore. We walked downtown (about 45 minutes), because we are like that...

And the food! The Nest lies in close proximity to some amazing options even in this remarkable culinary city. Terrific coffee across the street (Battle Cat), 300 feet from award-winning cuisine at The Admiral, Pizza Mind or MILK for more casual fare, and I can't end this review without mentioning OWL Bakery and Hole Doughnuts - both an easy walk and well worth seeking out.

In all, this is a fabulous location for all that West Asheville has to offer. read less

This place is great! Very clean and the bed is so comfortable! Walking distance to great restaurants and bars. Checking in was easy and Mike was very informative about places to go and things to do.

Awesome place. Very cozy and lots of ammenities. Close to cool restaurants and bars. Short drive to downtown Asheville.

Great location and a beautiful modern space. Lots of accommodations and Bruce was an amazing host. We will be staying here again.

Stylish, well-appointed space in a perfect location.

Enjoyed our stay in Asheville. This apartment is conveniently located near a couple different restaurants/cafes/breweries which are all walkable. Mike's communication was great and check-in was seamless. As Mike notes in the listing, the apartment is right next to a lumber yard and you can start hearing some noise around 6:30-7am during the week.

The West Nest is a perfectly-sized space for two in an amazing location. Right across from a coffee shop, just down the road from some great local food spots, not too from the River Arts District and only a quick hop on the highway to get to downtown! It's stylish and so comfortable, and Mike is a fantastic host. We'd definitely like to stay again in the future!

We really enjoyed staying at Bruce’s place and would do it again! It is true to the pictures and a very comfortable space. It is right in the middle of everything fun in Asheville and can sleep a group of 4-6 well! Bruce also does a great job communicating and providing detailed check in instructions. Thanks for everything!

Bruce's place is immaculate. He will be ready to text you with any information you need about the area. You're also central to the hottest spots in town with dozens of bars and restaurants a quick stroll around the corner. Even though the place itself is across from a bus station with lots of people coming and going, we felt safe the whole time.

Great place to stay. Simple, clean, and had all the essentials. The location is great to access west Asheville and downtown.

Great place to stay in asheville. Convenient downtown location. New and spacious. Highly recommend!

Great place with a very comfortable bed!
Would definitely recommend

That bed!!!!! So comfortable. The location is fabulous! WALK and Battle Cat directly across the street. Walking distance to River Arts District, South Slope, and Downtown. Check-in video was so helpful! Great parking and felt very safe!

Well thought out and convenient !

The "West Nest" is the perfect getaway for those visiting Asheville. Mike was a fantastic host with fast communication and excellent visiting tips. The Apartment was beautiful, clean and perfectly located minutes from everything Asheville. Thank you again Mike for letting us stay in your lovely "Nest". We will be back again for sure!

We had the best stay here! We had a situation where we needed help at 10:30PM and Mike responded immediately! Besides this, the space was wonderful and perfect for my boyfriend and I. Mike's recommendations were wonderful, and being so close to downtown made the stay even better! Highly recommend staying here, I know we will again!

Clean and comfortable and very close to restaurants, breweries, and The Biltmore. Highly recommended.

The Enchanted Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. The amenities are great, and the house is surprisingly large with a deck over the boathouse that catches sun and shade throughout the day. The screened in porch is a place to savor the early morning sunrise with fish jumping in the lake and the late night sounds of the lake while being protected from insects. There are swings on one open deck, and table and chairs on another deck, along with rocking chairs to watch the sun set. There's a fire pit, and a gas grill.

There are a lot of steps, but if you are in the mountains down to a lake, there will be steps. Kayaks and canoe and pontoon boat, and life jackets, are available with the cottage and they are fun on the lake! The kitchen is well appointed for cooking, the large picnic table off the kitchen seats 8 easily, stools nearby for more. There are TV's upstairs and downstairs to follow sports, and all seating everywhere is comfortable. Linens are provided, which is incredible. There is a funicular (a tram) which helps transport items up and down from parking at the top to lake level at the bottom. This quaint, rustic, historical cottage is highly recommended by those of us who stayed there over Labor Day Weekend. read less

My wife and I stayed here while exploring Asheville. The apartment was private, clean, and came with a lot of extra amenities like an outdoor patio for relaxing. Our host was very responsive to any questions we had and check-in was very easy.

Great House on the Lake Had a family reunion over Thanksgiving week at the Enchanted Cottage. We all had a blast. The house was perfect for the 13 of us but would have been as perfect if there were only 4 of us also. The kitchen was actually larger than what it appeared like from the photos. 3 cooks in the kitchen at once and we didn't kill each other. The decks were wonderful and the views were outstanding.

Really enjoyed our stay. It was clean, easy to access. Walking distance to many breweries and restaurants. Took bikes to ride to the other side of the river. Was another great time in Asheville and look forward to returning.
