BEAUTIFUL NEWLY RENOVATED 1935 FARMHOUSE This beautiful, newly-renovated little farmhouse is one story and has level access (no stairs) from the easy level driveway and 3-car parking area – rare for these parts. Near Asheville and many local attractions, or beautiful and comfortable to enjoy just staying in. \--------------------------------- NOTE: Please take your time and read our listing thoroughly - it's packed with helpful information. Most of your questions will be answered here. Once you book, I will send you a PDF of our very-informative "Welcome Book" - it's full with great info about "Olive", the area, local restaurants, grocery stores, hiking trails, etc. (There's also a printed copy at the cottage for your reference during your stay.) \--------------------------------- Named for the short private road she sits on, "Olivette", and her green-and-orange colors (think Manzanilla olives), not too long ago our amazing little Olive House was a diamond in the rough. It had been in disrepair for decades, but when we saw the spacious living area, the empty oversized bathroom (see "Bath Oasis"), the aged pine floors, we knew that with a lot of love, creativity, and elbow grease (and a bit of cash) this little empty shell would shine again and become the beautiful "Olive House" she is today. ALL NEW... beautiful "Bath Oasis" (more about the bath below), ensuite bath, stainless steel refrigerator, electric range, siding, HVAC, electric, plumbing with on-demand hot water, coffered ceilings, lighting and fans, 3 sets of french doors, barn doors, full professional paint inside and out, gorgeous refinished floors, new laundry room with new washer and dryer, all new furnishings, new beautiful gardens and privacy fence, new spacious parking area, and revived roof and deck… The time has come for the Olive House to shine and for you to enjoy! From the new coffered ceilings to the rich ebony pine floors, Tom and I worked to bring our vision to life so our guests could enjoy this sweet little gem of Asheville. LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Our Olive House is approximately 15 minutes to the city, another 10 to the entrance of the Biltmore Estate, and about 20 minutes total to just about any wonderful hiking trail and attractions in the Asheville area. About as close as you can get and still have a whole-house rental! Perfect! CLEAN Our Olive House is professionally cleaned thoroughly and thoughtfully after each stay. So, if you're looking for someplace beautiful, comfortable, CLEAN, and private to get away from the hustle and bustle... you found it! (Did I mention the epic bathroom?!) SUPPLIES Stocked to get you started... paper towels, tp, coffee, teas, sugar, soaps, and more. If you need more, grocery stores are minutes away. WELCOME GIFT We love to offer you a Welcome Gift for staying at our sweet Olive House - a small assortment of delicious trail mix packets will be waiting for you on the Welcome table. They're great for a quick snack upon arrival, or to take along for a hike. Enjoy! PET-FRIENDLY For non-pet owners, Olive is so nice and clean you'd never suspect pups have ever visited because of our thoughtful owners and wonderful housekeeping! We encourage folks to travel with their pups, so we made Olive House pup-friendly! (We get it. We have Marley!) I leave some treats, a ball, 2 bowls, a roll of baggies for easy cleanup, and a doggy bed so they're just as comfortable as you are. We have a no-pets-on-furniture policy and doggie sheets (with doggies printed on them, of course) to help keep the pup-confetti (hair) manageable and prevent any pesky extra cleaning fees (yet to ever be charged!) from housekeeping. STAY "HOME" If you'd like to stay cozied up in your beautiful secluded getaway, grab a sweet tea and play a game on the deck by the light of the vintage-style Edison bulbs. Or maybe make s’mores around the fire pit while enjoying the fresh mountain air and the laughter of family. Want to keep it simple… relax in the living room with a good book, puzzle, game, or a movie on the 50” smart TV with cable channels. Don't forget to bring your Netflix login! EPIC "BATH OASIS" Speaking of "relaxing"... did I mention the EPIC bathroom? Just cast your eyes on those photos! It’s a spacious bathroom with a beautiful repurposed vanity, gorgeous tile floors and walls, separate toilet room with barn door, frameless shower door, and a "wet room" with shower and the original refurbished 1920 antique clawfoot tub. Draw a warm bath and relax with a glass of wine and a good book while you soak your stress away. Bath Oasis! And yes, the ensuite bathroom off the Queen room – once a large empty closet – is also new and quite beautiful… just not quite “epic”. BEDS There's 2 new comfy beds for restful nights after your big days exploring... the king-sized iron bed in the room with 2 new sets of french doors – with blinds and decorative frosted glass for your privacy, a wall of built-ins, and rich dark refinished fir flooring. The second bedroom has a beautiful oak queen bed, painted antique flooring, and ensuite bathroom. If you'd like to bring your own air mattress and bedding, there's plenty of floor space in the living room to sleep 2 more. (Fees may apply.) A BIT MORE... Our Little Olive House is situated on a cozy yard, partially surrounded by a privacy fence (not completely fenced), shaded by a large oak tree, and a wrap-around deck with plenty of sunshine. It's owner-managed and we take pride in doing all the little things to make your stay an amazing experience. DRIVEWAY Unlike many other properties in the area, our wide level driveway with 3 parking spots is easy for navigation and parking. Inclement weather is rarely an issue. That's a reassuring feature if you've ever tried driving up a steep WNC driveway in one of our winter snowstorms! EXPLORE Feeling the need to get out a bit? Visit the nearby grounds and gardens of the magnificent Biltmore Estate, drive the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, or hike to one of the area's magnificent waterfalls. So much to do, or nothing at all. The choice is yours! It's a short drive to Asheville and many local adventures and attractions, but comfortable to enjoy just staying in and relaxing. Use the House as home base while you ski Wolf Ridge Ski Resort, hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway, kayak the French Broad, tube the Green, tour the Biltmore Estate, sample the local shops, restaurants and breweries... whatever makes you smile! \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* An important note: Even though it’s a rare, in this uncertain time of extreme weather and illnesses a guest may need to cancel shortly before they check in. For that reason, we strongly recommend purchasing trip insurance wherever you book. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we (all VRBO owners) may be unable to refund your late cancellations. VRBO offers you their insurance when you book, however feel free to investigate other options. A little spent now could save your much later. Please refer to VRBO for more information.\*\* I'm always watching out for my guests, even before you reserve. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Wheelchair-accessible parking and van parking available ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 3 accessible parking spaces - Area rugs in public areas - Gravel flooring in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Single level property - Smooth flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Tile flooring in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair accessibility - Wheelchair-accessible parking - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Wheelchair-accessible van parking - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - On a river ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103090000/103081800/103081783/332a36c7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountain Retreat: Duplex Haven on 4 Acres Asheville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=103081783&PinnedHotelID=103081783&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103890000/103884100/103884067/7602d83b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Little Pisgah Sunrise by AvantStay | Mountain View Fairview - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=103884067&PinnedHotelID=103884067&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/77000000/76250000/76247900/76247854/83724e6b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stylish dog-friendly cottage with modern feel, fast WiFi, ideal location & more Swannanoa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.2 Wonderful 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=76247854&PinnedHotelID=76247854&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24090000/24089300/24089213/0f9e59cc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountain Views/Family Retreat Asheville, - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.8 Exceptional 94 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-12&endDate=2026-02-13&selected=24089213&PinnedHotelID=24089213&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102620000/102612600/102612568/0f97c4fa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunset Vista Home Minutes from Asheville!

We especially loved the luxuriousness of the wet room with the best shower I have ever used! The tub was awfully inviting but I couldn’t pull myself away from the shower! Hosts were extra responsive. ##### Susan F. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felicity V.

Whether going downtown, touring Biltmore, or outdoor recreation such as hiking, paddle boarding, or tubing, this location provided easy access to a variety of activities while being nestled in a lovely and peaceful neighborhood. On the plus side, the owner is excellent in communicating, should you need anything, and the house is beautiful and clean. I highly recommend a stay at the Olive House. ;) ##### Felicity V.

The house had everything we needed for our stay. Great space if you want to bring your dog with you! It was calm and quiet but only 12-15 mins to downtown, south slope, and west Asheville. The fire pit was a great addition and we loved being able to have a fire most nights. Communication with the host was quick and easy too. I would highly recommend this property! ##### Nicole L.

We had a wonderful stay at Kris’s property. The house was spotless, my dog was so excited to find a bed and ball just for him. My kids and dog loved the backyard. Kris was a wonderful and accommodating host who was on top of everything we needed and always available. The house was close to Asheville and lots of hiking. We loved the large wet room and the kitchen had everything we needed, especially cooking at the home most meals since we had our younger children with us. There wasn’t anything that was lacking ! Thank you Olive House! ##### Sheila P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason K.

It is the cutest place ever. It was clean and had a great shower/bath and super comfy bed. The proximity to my family was amazing with my brother 2.1 miles away and my mom 2 miles in the other direction. The neighborhood is quiet, even with a girly busy dirt road beside the house and I even met some of the neighbors and enjoyed some nice conversation with them. The homeowner was so very nice, gracious, and attentive. We discovered that a previous guest had broken the blender and she was at our door in 10 minutes with a new one. We couldn't have been happier with our stay here and will definitely try to stay here again the next time we are in town if it is available. ##### Jason K.

Jan 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Getaway This house was the perfect place for our family trip to Asheville! Kris was the best host and super attentive and helpful with any and everything we needed. Myself, my husband, our one year old son and two dogs had a blast. The partial privacy fence was amazing at helping our pups not get distracted when going out to potty. The porch was so nice with beautiful string lights that weren’t overbearing. The house was extremely clean, the shower was so relaxing and the king size bed was super comfortable. We slept great, were only 15 minutes from the entrance to Biltmore and close to all our favorite Asheville activities and restaurants. The silver-line park in Woodfin was a perfect play area for our son and High Five coffee was a delicious morning treat. We will definitely be staying here again when we make our next trip to the area! ##### Stephanie W. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony T. Mar 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Not bad at all The host was great and communication was easy. The yard was set up to be pet-friendly so our pup also enjoyed her stay. Make sure you are watching for cats if your pup has a prey drive like mine. My wife and I had our two year old with us so having the second bedroom to set up the pack and play was essential. The only thing we weren't particularly happy with was how long the hot water lasted, 15 minutes tops. The wet room shower/ tub was one of the main selling features of the home for us. So with that, we were disappointed. ##### Anthony T. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack A. Dec 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy, comfortable, convenient What a delight to enjoy a Christmas reunion with our adult son in the Olive House! Plenty of room for son and parents to have our own space and bath facilities. And nice dining table for face-to-face time at meals. Loved the décor. And the ways you anticipated your guests’ needs. I particularly enjoyed the hand-held shower sprayer! An amenity we don’t often find at VRBOs. And the shower brush (since we inadvertently left ours at home). Night-time temps were in the 20s, but water was quickly warm, and bedding was also warm, even without the extra blanket on the end of the bed. The heater worked great. My biggest problem was with using the bed to sit on. The mattress is high and even though I am 5’7” and my husband and son are over 6’, we all had trouble sitting on the bed without sliding off. It’s the combination of the high, rounded mattress and the unpadded rug on the slick (but beautiful) wood floor. There is no friction to stop you from keeping sliding. I had to “re-sit” on the bed constantly so I wouldn’t wind up on the floor. (Which was quite a trick while trying to put on pants and socks. There is no other place to sit to dress privately, unless you carry everything to the bath) I think a pad for the rug could help. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality so close to downtown. We will be back! ##### Jack A. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg B.

The house was well appointed and we enjoyed the decor and fun green and orange exterior. We felt welcome from the moment we got there. We appreciated the trail mix for us and tennis ball for our pup, Heath. The beds were comfortable and the wet room bathroom was incredible. We enjoyed the porch at the beginning and end of the day. Olive is convenient to all of our favorite Asheville spots. We loved it and hope to be back soon. ##### kevin c. Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacie C.
