Description of the Asheville vacation guesthouse rental

This unique, historical home was built by Harvey Firestone, Jr. in 1929 with additional extensions in 1979. It has also been home to a state senator and governor. Your living room, furnished with beautiful antiques, is part of the original structure with the bedroom and handicapped accessible bathroom adjacent. The bedroom overlooks a patio with private hot tub and garden fountain beckoning you deeper into the backyard with fairy walk and organic garden.

Area Description

The historic Firestone Home is a short walk to the bus line, and two blocks from a large park with seasonal outdoor swimming, tennis courts, and covered pavilion picnicking.

A short drive to the main streets of West Asheville with library, churches, shopping, and entertainment. Convenient to everything Asheville has to offer, but located in a stately, side walked residential area. Let the historic Firestone Home be your luxurious home away from home!

Contact us regarding deeper rate discounts for mid week (includes Wednesday), long-term, and off-season extended stays.
Phone calls preferred. (We respond to most queries within 24 hours!)

 Great location, October 31, 2009
By Lynn (San Antonio, TX)
This location is a nice, quiet neighborhood, easier to locate than I thought; Asheville is not a planned city so it's sometimes a challenge getting around. The house was exceptionally clean and the temporpedic bed was very comfortable. The sitting area that can sleep 1-2 people has a door that separates it from the bedroom so there is some privacy if two couples wanted to stay there. I definitely recommend this house; much better than a hotel.
 
 Summer in Asheville, July 29, 2009

We did enjoy the area and our stay in this home. It is a beautiful place and very comfortable. Nice to have the extra space.
Owner Supplied Testimonials
Feb. 14, 2009 Valentine's Weekend. Scott and I enjoyed our stay. Your house was as beautiful in person as we hoped. Your thoughtfulness as a hostess was easily noticed and appreciated. The fresh roses, sparkling juice, and small touches like Andes mints with bedside water glasses, the choices of tea and coffee and the complimentary waters were all wonderful personal touches. We will definitely stay again anytime we come back to Asheville. It was certainly a home away from home . P.S. Your home was immaculately clean! Not a speck of dust Anywhere! We will definitely recommend to our friends in TN.

Thanks for the gracious and comfortable place to stay. We highly recommend
the self guided walking tour of Asheville. There is no better place to eat lunch
than Heiwa Shokudo on Lexington.

Our stay at the Firestone was very pleasant. Jenna was quite gracious and
ensured that we visited the best restaurants of Asheville. Perhaps the best part of our stay was simply the peace and quiet!
