UP AND RUNNING! 5 star property since 2017! Convenient~Comfy~Private~Clean
My home is located in a quiet, safe residential area conveniently located to everything! The En-Suite is comprised of the whole north wing of the house. Contact with Hostess will be at your desire. Maximum number of nights accepted is 30. Again, this wing is totally separate from Hostess' living quarters. This En-Suite 1.5 miles from the Biltmore Estate and the Biltmore Village of shops, 2.2 miles from Mission Hospital system, 2 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway with its views and trails, and only 4 miles to downtown Asheville. With 3 freeway exits within 1-2 miles, you can get anywhere fast. Don't forget Chimney Rock Park which is a spell down Hwy 74 but so worth it. Then when you arrive back after a day of having fun, you will have the whole north side wing of the house to relax in. Have morning coffee on the front porch which is just for you. In the afternoon/evening, take your favorite drink outside in your own backyard area and put your feet up in the anti-gravity chairs to watch the sun go down. Parking for one vehicle is in the black topped driveway. Arrangements for off street parking is available for large vehicles or an additional vehicle. If you are going downtown for the day, I would recommend getting an Uber rather than hunt for parking. There is also a bus line at the corner of my street for those interested. It is the S5 line and times can be checked at the City of Asheville's website. The transit system is called ART (Asheville Redefines Transit). Additionally, the En-Suite is close to the Asheville Mall, Whole Foods, Walmart, Target, AMC movie theater, the Blue Ridge Parkway and much, much more! Key lock box code will be the last 4 digits of your booking phone number. NOTE: The Customer Service Fee showing on your bill is not from me. That fee goes to VRBO.

Great for me and my significant other. We stayed here for 2 nights. From the very start Kim was AMAZING! Great communication with me and everything with VRBO. Kim was so sweet and helpful! We will 1000% be back and hopefully be staying with Kim again! Excellent price as well! Location is perfect and everything was extremely clean. Very quiet and overall perfect!
The description and photographs accurately describe this property. I stayed here for two and a half weeks while visiting family and had everything I needed. I particularly enjoyed sitting on my own front porch and watching the birds in the morning!
Would highly recommend. Everything was as described and our hostess thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. She even showed us around her beautiful garden. We will definitely stay there again.
Our stay in Asheville marked our first experience with a VRBO featuring an onsite host and attached space. The listing was accurate and very clean. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a burst of blooms from the host's front flower beds, and inside, we found a personal note and a heart made of flower petals—a thoughtful gesture. The host took great care to anticipate guests' needs, providing toiletries and other essentials, which we greatly appreciated. If you're looking for a place to stay while enjoying all that Asheville has to offer or looking for somewhere other than a hotel for work trips, this unit will work well.
They have thought of absolutely everything for this spot. Very clean and safe. The bed is super comfortable. Wi-Fi worked great. Anything you could possible need is here. Can’t think of one thing I’d change.

Perfect for two travelers wanting to explore the biltmore estate and village. The room is set up like a hotel room with mini fridge , coffee bar, microwave, large closet area and bathroom. She has filtered water that we very much appreciated. Minutes to the biltmore and walkable to the village. Kim is a gracious host who is east to communicate with. It was perfect for a 3 night stay .
As always Kim is an amazing host. The house is well equipped, one of the most comfortable beds I've ever been in any VRBO. As a female traveler I was never concerned about my safety at all.
The location is central to so much as well. Stay here, you won't regret it!
Kim’s rental was spotless and the check-in and check-out process was very simple. The property was also located close to historic Biltmore village where there are plenty of shops and some eateries to visit. Would absolutely stay here again when I come back to Asheville!

Wonderful little private suite, immaculate, clean, everything that is needed. Host was very accommodating even when we showed up early. Would stay again.
My stay was so delightful. Kim was so friendly and accommodating. The space had everything that you could need and while I didn't use a lot of the extras I loved that she took the time to have supplies like shampoo, soap, men's shaving gel, etc in the bathroom for her guests. The bed here was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever stayed in outside of my own! As a woman traveling on her own I felt completely safe and had no concerns. I would stay again!
We loved our stay. Everything was clean and easy to find. The owner made sure to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. We would absolutely come again!
Our hostess was so sweet. The instructions were communicated clearly and were easy to follow. This was our first trip to Asheville (and first experience through Vrbo) and it made for a great stay. From the location to all the details of this little getaway destination, we really enjoyed our trip and appreciate all that our hostess did!
Our first stay at this property was so amazing, we decided to stay again on our return trip to Asheville. Amenities were on point - Kim has thought of everything you could possibly need during your stay. As a host, Kim is equally amazing. She is available whenever you need her and also provides recommendations for places to eat breakfast, etc. We cannot wait to stay here again!
This property is convenient to so many area attractions. Kim is a wonderful host and was very responsive. Everything was impeccably neat and clean, the bed was comfortable, and the whole set-up was efficient and well thought out. Highly recommend!!!
This neighborhood accommodation is a comfortable resbit after a day of sight seeing, hiking or brew hopping. Kim has made every effort to think of everything you may need and have it available for guest.
The unit was extremely clean which scored big points with us and in a quiet neighborhood which lent to a good nights sleep. Conveniently located and only a short drive to all the different aspects of Asheville.

About the host
Hosted by Kim Opager
I moved here from Minnesota. I love to garden, hike and read historical fiction. My desire as a host is to provide a super clean, safe and secure living environment for my vacation renters. While I do accept weekly and monthly guests, I primarily rent to weekenders. I do not rush to fill weekday openings between weekend guests.
Why they chose this property
I bought here in Asheville in 2011 to be closer to my retired parents. However, I have been in this area since 1992 and wouldn't live anywhere else. The weather is the my primary motivator for staying.
What makes this property unique
Privacy. You would have the whole north wing of the home. My part of the home has unique, built in details which aren't apparent to my vacation renters because they are inside my living quarters. Suffice it to say that these details showed a dedication to quality construction and a love for the people it was built for.
I have had so many compliments on the bed that I will list the composition of it here:
This is the mattress that I purchased from Amazon: ZINUS 12 Inch Ultima Memory Foam Mattress, Full, Fiberglass Free, Pressure Relieving, CertiPur-US Certified, Mattress in A Box, White Visit the Zinus Store 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 41,244 ratings
This is the cooling topper that is on it also from Amazon: Lucid 2 Inch Mattress Topper Full - Memory Foam Mattress Topper Full - 5 Zone Gel Infusion - CertiPur Certified Foam Visit the LUCID Store 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 60,902 ratings
