Available for weekly to monthly stays. Monthly stays available as of January 2, 2024. Zen Studio is a beautiful basement apartment in our historic 1927 bungalow. We are minutes from Downtown Asheville, in the beloved Montford Neighborhood. ( 15 min walk!) Guests will have exclusive access to the studio apartment and shared access to the utility room (entry area to studio), the creekside patio and fire pit out back. We sincerely care about every detail of your stay, so we invite you to review our listing details fully, so you will be informed & prepared to enjoy our in-town oasis. Arrive to our adorable home and lush, landscaped gardens, and follow the stone path to the back of our home to find the entry to Zen Studio. There are three steps down from the pathway to the door. You will enter the utility room first, where you'll find a comfortable area to remove your coat and shoes. Laundry machines are in this room and they are available for your use (laundry soap provided). Please note: This area is used by the home owners that live upstairs and the Tenant in the cottage out back... From the utility room, you will enter the studio apartment to find modern and comfortable furnishings and a fully equipped kitchen and bath. We provide bedding, towels, and all of the basics to ensure a relaxing stay. You'll find our Queen-Sized bed to be very comfortable and there's ample storage in the closet or on the shelving throughout the space, so you can unpack and make yourself at home. Beautiful live plants make this space relaxing and refreshing. Take in our beautifully landscaped yard by relaxing on the stone patio out back. Reed Creek runs along the back of the property and you may see folks enjoying the greenway on the other side of the creek. At night, feel free to use the fire pit (guests to provide their own firewood). And if you're feeling adventurous, try out our outdoor shower. Our home is perfect for two people that want to enjoy all of the amenities of Downtown Asheville, while having their own space to relax, enjoy a unique experience and have the convenience to cook their own meals. Explore the neighborhood or take a stroll into Downtown. At Zen Studio, everything you could want from your Asheville stay is so convenient and close by! You will have exclusive access to your private studio suite. The friendly homeowners live upstairs and you may hear them occasionally or their sweet dog, Smokey. Please do not attempt to climb interior steps to the upper level of the home and please do not climb the stairs to the deck outside. The homeowners, their guests and other Tenants may use the utility room leading to the studio, the outside area and fire pit area by the creek. We will respect your privacy and we ask that all guests please respect the privacy of others at our home and property. We provide a sound machine to assist with drowning out sounds of the home and Owner's above too. Additional Items to Note: - Parking is on-street only and we kindly request that you do not park directly in front of the house. Please be prepared to walk a block or two to your car. Specific parking instructions will be provided 2 days before check-in. All of our guests have had no problem finding nearby parking. - Our home is older and you may hear footsteps or the dog barking or playing upstairs. The homeowners are kind and quiet folks and they will respect your privacy. - Remember that Zen Studio is in the basement of someone's home. We've provided a sound machine to aid in creating a peaceful and Zen space. Please feel free to use it to achieve better sleep, focus, relaxation or to just drown out any noises. - Since the basement is below-grade, there is a pump that runs after water is run or when the toilet is flushed. It is loud, but harmless, so don't be alarmed. - For folks over 5'10" tall - Please note that the entry to the studio from the utility room has a lower doorway and you must duck your head to walk through and there is signage to remind you! - Also for the taller folks - the shower height is lower and if you're over 6', you may need to crouch inside the stall, which can be uncomfortable for some! - We provide all of the essentials for a comfortable stay including bedding, towels, starter soaps and shampoo & conditioner, plenty of dishes, cooking utensils and basic spices. - Zen Studio is not ideal for those with severe pet allergies, as a dog lives on site in the house above the unit. The resident dog does not go inside the unit and our cleaners are fantastic, but it may be impossible to avoid even the most minor presence of dog hair or dander in the utility room. - There is no TV - All Utilities are included - We welcome stays as short as 3 nights (May-Dec only) and longer stays over 6 months, any time of year! - Please be sure you thoroughly review ALL of our listing info and details provided in messages so you can ensure that our home is right for you and your needs. - Cleaning Fee for 30+ Night Stays is $150.
