Top-Floor Living in the Heart of Biltmore Village Welcome to The Lantern Lodge, where 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and roughly 1,000 square feet come fully furnished — and with one of the most enviable addresses in Asheville, directly across the street from The Biltmore Estate. Step outside and you're in Biltmore Village, with its cobblestone charm, independent boutiques, and some of the best dining in the city all within an easy stroll. Downtown Asheville is minutes away, whether you feel like walking it or driving. And because you're centrally located near the interstate, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest, and every trailhead, river, and overlook in between are genuinely easy to reach — no fighting your way across town first. Inside, this top-floor unit means no footsteps overhead. Just quiet. The layout is thoughtfully designed and lives larger than 1,000 square feet suggests, and the covered balcony is where you'll want to start your mornings — coffee in hand, the day ahead of you. Here's what sets this one apart: it's turnkey. Furnished and ready, with participation in the hotel condo program available. When you're not using the condo, it can work for you — a genuinely hands-off investment inside Asheville city limits, a rarity in this market and something short-term rental restrictions have made increasingly difficult to find. Show up with a suitcase, use it when you want it, and let it earn when you don't. Whether that's a second home in the mountains, an income-producing asset, or both at once, this one delivers.
