Well appointed

Vacation Date: August 9, 2026

"We enjoyed our stay at Howland House. It was convenient to the downtown area and secluded enough to give that mountain feel. The house was well appointed with all the amenities needed for a nice relaxing stay. We enjoyed walking the secluded road up from the house. Do your self a favor and take the paved path to the left right before you get up the gate at the top of the road. It’s an easy walk and you feel like you are truly immersed in nature. I enjoyed drinking my morning coffee on the porch and watching the humming birds compete for food at the feeders and listening to the various bird calls in the woods. Make sure to lock your car doors because we did have muddy bear prints on the doors. However, we never encountered any bears, but we did see a wild turkey cross the road which was a nice treat. The road leading to the houses on Howland properties needs some TLC, but that’s no fault of the property owners. One thing that definitely needs attention is a better seating option in the tv room. The old outdated futon needs to go. It’s very uncomfortable and doesn’t go with the rest of the decor in the property. I know it provides a sleeping option for guests, but there are better arrangements that could be made for guests We would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Asheville.

Great Place

Vacation Date: July 5, 2026

"Great place to stay! Probably the cleanest place we have stayed at especially for how large it was. We will definitely consider staying here again. The pillows and mattresses were so comfortable. Loaded kitchen. Lots to choose from just bring your own oils and spices. The view was amazing and so was the wildlife. Water pressure 3 out of 5. We really appreciated the dishwasher and oversized washer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Very happy

Vacation Date: June 30, 2026

"Very happy with our stay. Much closer to downtown than we thought it would be, easy in and out. Beautiful view, they had coffee / filters / creamer / sugar ready for us and we really appreciated it. Definitely bears all around - we saw a bunch of them and they tried to get into our cars. That said these aren’t big grizzlies- these are under 200lbs black bears (saw two cubs as well) who only want to get out of our way, but still need to be aware with cars/garbage/etc. Easy check-in, very good communications, did I mention the beautiful view? The A/C’s are separate so my son - who likes it cooler than the rest of us at night - could not freeze the rest of us out. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

"Well stocked and attentive management company. The view is fantastic. The fence is damaged due to a fallen tree. Wouldn’t bring a dog until it gets fixed. **Owner’s note: The fence was repaired in late June 2025**

Great Views

Vacation Date: May 10, 2025

"Great place with great views and well maintained! but the hot tub is near the garage and not on the deck. Not accessible specially when it is cold/rainy. The garage door does not open and one would have to go all the way around the house from main entrance to access the hot tub.

Howland House

Vacation Date: January 3, 2026

"Howland House was a lovely place to stay. Our family of four and our dog really enjoyed our time there. The house is in a quiet location with spectacular mountain views. The house has also recently been significantly renovated, and while massive improvements have been made to the kitchen and general living areas, some of the finishes such as closets, windows, and bathrooms seem to be in the first stage of renovation. We look forward to seeing how renovations continue as the house is well on the way to being a gem. The management company was responsive to the issues we experienced with the fireplace not working properly and the hot tub not being warm when we wanted to use it. While the fireplace issue was not resolved during our stay, the hot tub issue was resolved. If you are planning to use the hot tub, make sure to bring flip flops as you will have to walk all the way through the house and the front entrance to get to the hot tub as the garage access to the hot tub is locked.

We really enjoyed our stay

Vacation Date: August 22, 2024

"The house is exactly as shown in the pictures. The house is in a quiet, wooded neighborhood about 12 minutes from downtown Asheville. The deck and view were wonderful! The people from Yonder were very helpful and responsive. They dealt with some small issues within hours. The public road to the house is very bumpy with a lot of potholes but the house is worth the short, bumpy drive!

Just Love It!

Vacation Date: November 5, 2023

"We have stayed at Howland House on multiple occasions and just love it! It has everything we need for a comfortable, enjoyable vacation with friends. There's a fully outfitted office for teleworking and a great kitchen for my husband, who loves to cook! The location is quiet with lots of seating on the deck and a beautiful view. It feels remote even though downtown Asheville is only about 10 minutes away. Staying at Howland House gives us easy access to all the great restaurants, galleries and music venues in downtown Asheville. Biltmore House and Village are only an additional 10 minutes or so once you get down the mountain. It's always clean, well outfitted, bright and cheerful inside. Added bonus that there's a hot tub AND we're allowed to bring our dogs with us on vacation!
