17. “The Hidden Attic” in downtown Asheville

Considered the best Airbnb in Asheville, this eccentric hideaway provides a unique place to stay, with copper accents and dreamy lighting streaming through the skylights. Adorned with twinkly lights, you’ll feel as though you have ventured into a wizard’s attic on Diagon Alley by accident. Located in a tranquil neighborhood, within walking distance of downtown Asheville, you can walk or bike downtown for some light exercise; it will take you about 15 to 20 minutes. Alternatively, take a relatively inexpensive Uber ride to the lanes of upscale boutique stores for some shopping to pamper yourself. Grab a morning coffee with your significant other at the Liberty House Coffee and Cafe only a few blocks away. The Honey Lavender Latte is lightly refreshing, and will provide you with enough of a caffeine boost for your fun-filled day. If shopping isn’t what you’re here for, take a walk around the local area and appreciate the historic homes around the neighborhood. The scenery is beautiful here in the wintertime; keep your eyes peeled and you may spot some of Santa’s elves hiding behind the pine trees! At the day’s end, snuggle up with your partner in the heavenly queen-sized bed, or browse through the eclectic collection of books in the antique library. Choose from the wide selection of audio CDs available, and fall asleep to the calming tunes of ambient tracks. Do note that the property is not suitable for children. Additionally, access to the loft is via two flights of stairs, which may not be suitable for people with mobility difficulties.

19. Riverside mountain cottage in East Asheville

Like a fleeting dream, this picturesque cottage by the riverside is your ticket to your own private paradise. Bring your small family of 4 along and fish for your own dinner outside the house; the river is stocked full of trout and bass. Rent a kayak or float boat if you wish to drift along the serene stream, admiring the masterpieces that Mother Nature created in the heart of Asheville. Live comfortably in the arms of nature in this spacious estate that can accommodate up to 4 people. Take a short 15-minute snooze on the massage chairs while the sun casts its soft glow on you, or make yourself a sandwich in the shared kitchen space if you’re craving a snack. Share a cold beer with the friendly host, Andy, on the deck overlooking the river, and grill some of your favorite side dishes at the outdoor firepit while you’re at it. At the end of your day, sink into the luscious sheets on the queen-sized beds. Fall asleep to the view of the gurgling river at the tip of your toes, and dream of skipping stones with the elves by the stream.
