Girls weekend
The Southern Gem was perfect place to stay for a Girls weekend. Great location to so many great restaurants, shopping/boutiques and we even did a spa day. Very clean and spacious for group of 4. We were able to walk to majority of places we went to. Used Lyft/Uber to a couple of places that were a bit further and price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend taking the Trolley Tour. Was very helpful showing us some places in Asheville we may have overlooked. Also recommend the Piano Bar. That was was such a fun place to go to at night.

Spring break 2024
Our family had an amazing trip to Asheville. The location of the property was perfect. So convenient and walkable to everything downtown. The condo itself was well stocked with ample space for a family of 4. We loved the modern decor and the furniture and beds were very comfortable. We would definitely book this same property again!

Beautiful amenities & great location!
The pictures highlight the beauty of the space. Every detail is cared for including coffee, creamers, etc. Lots of nice extra touches if you give information about your trip. They added a little something to make my husband’s birthday extra special when we arrived. In addition, the location is walkable to restaurants and shopping. The only thing to note is that for loading or unloading of your bags, you can park in front of the RH next-door for a short time before parking your vehicle and their suggested parking spots. Also, upon walking into the S&W, which is like a cafeteria eatery there is not good signage to let you know to go to the right, to find the elevator to the apartment/condos. Once you’re on the floor and enter your room, you transcend into this beautiful space. Very quiet and upscale. Would definitely return!

Great location and apartment
Really happy with the location and apartment. The upstairs bedroom does not have a door, but is the only room upstairs. Very spacious. I thought there would be “bar noise” until the late, but actually our stay which was a Thursday and Friday night had essentially quiet hours after 12, with exception of a car or two (as expected in the city). Would definitely recommend. The parking garage is behind the building’s front door, but there is a back door entrance. Communication on the exact parking location was not optimal, but we figured it out.
