Loft in historic downtown Asheville building
The art deco architecture prevalent in downtown Asheville is a draw for many visitors, so why not enhance your stay with a couple of nights in one of these historic spots? This studio is located in the original Woolworth building. It’s been fully restored into a multi-use space with an old-fashioned soda fountain, apartments, and galleries. From there, enjoy views of downtown and the mountains surrounding Asheville. There’s a rooftop bar (serving delicious Cuba daiquiris) across the street at Hemingway’s Cuba or all-day brunch at Southern cuisine staple Tupelo Honey.

Set on a 20-acre sanctuary about 10 miles outside of Asheville, this tiny cabin is great for anyone wanting to try out tiny house living.

Romantic, Moroccan-influenced cottage
Small but super charming, this cottage located just outside of downtown Asheville is a pleasing combination of Moroccan vibes, cottage, and hippie décor — there are hand-carved wooden artifacts, quilts, and an outdoor firepit and bathtub. The French Broad River and River Arts District, with many casual and fine dining options and artisan-owned boutiques and workshops, are within walking distance. Guests have also noted that the two cats living on the property are quite adorable.

Downtown loft above a coffee shop
Staying above a coffee shop is the Asheville dream. This airy loft on Asheville’s South Slope is located right above local favorite Farewell Coffee, and hosts provide a complimentary carafe coffee for their guests. The loft space is also in the same building as South Slope Cheese Co, which has a small grocery and wine selection in addition to cheese and charcuterie. If all that inspires you to stay on-premise for your entire visit, we won’t judge you — but you should know that there are at least seven breweries, a public sauna, bike rentals, and two BBQ joints within a 10-minute walk.

Creekside tobacco barn outside city
Just under an hour from Asheville, this renovated tobacco barn provides a restful, secluded retreat from the world. Though the owners live in a neighboring property, the barn feels completely private. The interior is gorgeously updated with modern-rustic touches, but the real star of this property is the expansive porch overlooking a rushing creek. The private queen bedroom is plenty comfortable, but on warm nights the porch hammock can’t be missed. Though rural, this place is uniquely suited for a workcation or writing retreat with a kitchenette, full bathroom, working space, and Wi-Fi throughout the property.

Sanctuary in the trees in West Asheville
Though located in a dense suburban neighborhood of West Asheville, the architectural beauty and mature tree growth at this property create an environment that truly feels like a private oasis. There are several restaurants and bars in West Asheville within an easy walk, or you can take a quick drive to Asheville’s iconic Biltmore Estate. This location promises a true Asheville vibe with fewer tourists around and packs a tiny-but-mighty punch with a kitchenette, parking spot, hot plate, mini-fridge, Wi-Fi, bathroom, outdoor space, and bike storage. For longer stays (or unexpectedly muddy hikes), a laundry room is also available.

Unique hand-built cabin in the city
Lovingly built with mostly reclaimed materials, this cabin is pocket-sized but provides all the comforts you could need with a queen bed, walk-in shower, wood-burning stove, heated floors, and a surprisingly chic composting toilet. While you’ll feel like you’re in a secret secluded cabin, a quick three-block walk will take you to yoga studios, coffee shops, and more. The nearby Asheville Salt Cave is worth visiting for massages, traditional Hamman experience, and zero-gravity chill sessions.
