Cozy little apartment

The location was great. Lani was easy to work with. There is a set of stairs you have to carry luggage up. We had no trouble but some people could. The apartment is beautifully decorated with lots of homey touches and very well equipped. I would happily stay here again.

Charming, Elegant and Restful✨

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming cottage nestled in peaceful, tucked-away Montford/Asheville. The moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The neighborhood is perfect for leisurely walks, quiet, yet close to everything we needed. Dining out was a breeze, with so many fantastic local restaurants just minutes away! The cottage itself was immaculate and cozy. The bed was incredibly comfortable with soft, luxurious linens that made for some of the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. I was also so grateful for the pure, clean water from every tap—it felt like a little luxury every time I poured a glass. One of my favorite parts of the stay was relaxing in the tub after a day of exploring. The bathroom was spotless and beautifully appointed, and those baths became a cherished part of my routine. Afterward, I would drift off to sleep so easily in the peace and quiet of this perfect little nest. The host, Lani, was extremely helpful and more than accommodating. She was very quick to respond. Lani is a real pro! Thank you Lani! I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a serene, comfortable, and convenient home base in Asheville!

Great place to stay in Asheville!

My wife and I were looking for a place in Asheville close to downtown but private and in a nice neighborhood. This place checked every box. It was cozy and comfortable, and the proximity to the Reed Creek Trail was a big bonus. Highly recommended!

This was my second time visiting Asheville and I will always try to stay at this apartment when I’m here. The location was perfect and the host did a great job providing anything a person might need during a stay. We loved walking around the gorgeous neighborhood and just about everywhere we wanted to go was 5-10 minutes away.

Absolutely stunning!!

This place was amazing! Beautifully renovated to include some the original/antique qualities of the property. My fiance and I enjoyed every moment of our stay, from gazing upon the brick "castle" next door the moment we arrived to relaxing and watching TV in the evenings and everything in between!! We loved it and definitely recommend staying here!

Great landing fir a busy weekend.

The Nest was a cozy and charming place to start and end our busy days. Spotless, well equipped with lots of special touches —coffee, tea, cocoa, nice toiletries. Comfy furnishings. Could be a nice walk to downtown, or better yet—quick drive to free parking at the Visitor Center and just a short walk over the bridge. Will come back!

About the host

Hosted by Lani Blakeslee

Host profile image
After purchase of this family owned property I lovingly restored every inch and acted as the designer as well as the contractor for the entire renovation which took 3 1/2 years. I made every design choice and decision which brought this home back to its former glory. I personally retsored the 63 double hung windows and 33 original doors. Once you stay with me you will see and feel the love, and feel loved in return....

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location! Just north of the heart of downtown you have the convenience of being close to everything while having enough distance to have quiet nights to rest and staying in an unparaleled historic neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Your on site host is always available to answer your questions and trouble shoot any unexpected needs or issues. The building has been recently and completely and lovingly restored with high end finishes and unexpected luxuries such as super fast Wifi, on demand (and filtered) hot water, a smart TV, soft close cabinetry, Hyatt Hotel luxury mattress and a brand new and reliable heating/cooling system you have autonomous control of.
