We just dropped our son off at UNC-A. Matt’s place was cute, clean, comfortable and convenient to UNC-A, coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores and downtown. Our dog enjoyed the walks. Thanks for the helpful binder with tips!

We really enjoyed our stay at the FROG! It had everything we needed, and Matt was very helpful with suggestions, both verbally and in his very detailed and helpful manual. The place was very clean and fresh smelling upon arrival with fresh flowers on the table, and a variety 4 pack of been in the fridge to quench our thirst after a long day of travel. It was wonderful that it was dog friendly so we could bring our 2 fur babies with us as well. The location was perfect for us, being in between the city and some friends that we visited during out stay. Also use of the laundry facilities was very helpful after being caught in some rainy weather. We would definitely recommend this quaint place to others and would stay there again.

We came up for a night and wanted to be in a quiet but close location to downtown. Matt the owner greeted us and was very welcoming. The unit was better than advertised- bed was super comfy, wonderfully decorated, all upgraded appliances, and great AC that worked really well- and although we didn’t bring our pups this time, dog friendly as well. We will be back!!. Thank you.

My husband and I and our dog had a wonderful stay in this quiet and very sweet part of Asheville. We really appreciated the effort put in by our host to make the FROG a special place to stay.

SORRY THIS IS A LONG READ, I SWEAR IT’S WORTH IT! It was difficult to find the property, as the houses are very close together, the streets in the neighborhood are narrow and there are cars parked along one side (NOT GREAT FOR WALKING YOUR DOG, thought the listing states it’s pet friendly). I thought I wasn’t going to make it through at spots, but I do have a wide car. I could not find a street number on the house, which is what led me to call the property manager/owner(?), Matt. He was confused, because it showed that I had booked the house for Monday night (2/20). It was Sunday night (2/19) and I discovered that in my tired state the night before, I booked the room for the wrong night (wanted Sunday, made a mistake and booked for Monday). I immediately asked him if I could cancel, as I was not going to be in Asheville another night. Matt stated I had to cancel through VRBO. I tried as I was on the phone with him and realized that since I was so close to the booked date of 2/20, I could not cancel through the site. I asked him if there was a way for him to cancel it on his end, which is where things got interesting. He stated he could not cancel on his end and I had to cancel through VRBO. When I stated that was not possible because I had booked the night before (Sat, 2/19), he answered, “Well, you can stay tomorrow night!” I was only going to be in town that night, so it was completely useless to me. I asked for a good faith return of the money he was making on me that night. He refused, AS IS HIS RIGHT! I made the tired mistake of booking the wrong date. Even though I had literally booked it the night before, TECHNICALLY someone “could have” found his house super late on Sat night or sometime that Sunday during the day and wanted to book for that one night on Monday (though the odds are slim to none). I told him the honorable thing to do would be to refund my money (minus all the VRBO fees, of course) via PayPal/Venmo/etc. or at the VERY LEAST at refund the $20 pet fee (which is a separate charge that he requested that can be reversed by the host, as I’ve had it done before). I also stated that if he would not at least refund me the $20, he should not expect a positive review. He tried to play the victim, saying someone else could have rented and that his hands were tied. That I would have to make a report through VRBO and “see if they would refund me,” well, they didn’t, so here’s my review. If you want his bad juju stay here!

We were in the process of closing on our home in Asheville and needed a place to stay with our two miniature dachshunds until everything was finalized. The Frog was EXACTLY what we needed. We were not exactly free to roam about town as our dogs are rescues and don’t deal well with separation just yet. But the Frog is located in a quaint historic neighborhood near many restaurants that are walkable. When we weren’t dealing with real estate stuff we took advantage of the lovely area with the dogs in tow. But the place itself is in such a serene spot we enjoyed so much of the time just relaxing there. The bed was phenomenal. We slept so well we bought the same exact kind for our new house. The kitchen was well outfitted and all the furniture was extremely comfortable.

Property had all of the essentials plus a few thoughtful perks such as recommendations and local beer in the fridge. Location was convenient to downtown and the Biltmore yet located in a quiet neighborhood. Dog friendly!

Matt is a great host, and the apartment was very comfortable for two adults and two fluffy dogs. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and has a friendly and creative vibe. Very dog-friendly. Walking distance to several restaurants on Merrimon, and a short drive to many more. We had a terrific time exploring Asheville -- thanks Matt!
