Barley's Bungalow has a seriously convenient location, serene mountain views, exceptionally kid friendly features (including parent suite and many toys), Nespresso Vertuo coffee machine, easy checkout, handy digital guidebook, & plentiful supplies provided (TP, trash bags, paper towels, soaps, coffee pods, & more). This home is thoughtfully maintained for guests who are looking for a relaxing homebase for their Asheville memory making - great for groups with or without children. CONVENIENT LOCATION – Barley’s Bungalow is only a few minutes off I-40 and the Blue Ridge Parkway just east of downtown Asheville. For lovers of great food, great breweries, great views, or great adventure – Barley’s Bungalow checks all the boxes for ease of access! Only 10-15 minutes with typical traffic to downtown Asheville, Biltmore Estate property entrance, South Slope, River Arts District, Black Mountain, Haywood Rd, Blue Ridge Parkway, Biltmore Village, & so much more. SUPPLIES PROVIDED – We spoil our guests with a well-stocked home: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher pods, washing machine pods, paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, garbage bags, etc. KID-FRIENDLY (if needed) – Crib, glider, highchair, safety gates at top and bottom of indoor stairs, room darkening shades, pretend play campfire and grill, board games, kid-sized picnic table, & more. This home was set up by a mother of 3 who understands the importance of a space where both kids and parents can enjoy their vacation. Not everyone travels with small children so features like the safety gates can remain rolled up out of the way when not in use. NESPRESSO VERTUO – We provide a generous number of pods that last most guests with typical use the entirety of their stay. If you’ve got a very long stay, many coffee-drinking guests, drink multiple cups per day, or have a favorite flavor – we encourage you to bring along additional pods that work specifically with the Nespresso Vertuo machine. If a quick and easy cup of java isn’t your jam, we also have a standard coffee maker, electric kettle, coffee grinder, & Aero press. Rather go out for your morning coffee? Check the guidebook!
