Michael Patton, Airbnb Superhost & VRBO Premier Host

Uncle Mike is our local host, ambassador, and all around good guy who will make sure your stay is unique to your individual plans and 5 Star expectations.

Take the time to read what our clients say about Mike's professionalism, and the quality of our homes which were remodeled or built by Mike and his network of local craftsman and designers.

"Mike is an Airbnb Superhost (8 years) and a VRBO Premier Host (12 years)"

Each house has been updated/upfit/re-purposed into Airbnb Guests Favorites based on hundreds of customer ratings.  All our homes have the same great hospitality, quality, service, and competitive pricing!!!

Our short-term rental properties where historically owned by family, friends, and neighbors who grew up in the Asheville area.  The Penley Family moved to Enka Candler in 1905 from Asheville after their home burned to the ground.  As a teenager, GranLloyd helped pave Liberty Road with his father's mule.

We can accommodate a wedding party, business retreat, or family reunion from 1 to 68 people in our collection of VRBO/AirBnB homes.  They are close proximity to each other (think ... just down the road!) Heck, three house are within a 9 iron shot of each other (see flyer below) sharing the same 10 acres of green pasture.

Three more homes are on Sand Hill Rd/Asbury and the Cabin that are within a 10-15 minutes drive of the old farm place at the corner of Monte Vista and Liberty.

All homes are a short drive into West Asheville, Downtown, Biltmore House, Breweries, Golf, Hiking, and the AVL Airport.  Our family attended Francis Asbury United Methodist Church (FAUMC) which is close to all our VRBO/Airbnb homes (you pick).  FAUMC is an easy 5 mins to West AVL and 15 mins to downtown Asheville.

Rent any one or all of our 8 homes. Many of our houses can be rented as 1,2, or 3 bedroom rentals.  Additionally, if you stay in all 8 homes by 2028, we will have a special gift as a token of our appreciation for your loyalty to Penley Produce Vacation Homes

Check back to see when new properties are brought on line.

Close Enough, Yet Not Too Close

If you have a big group coming to Asheville, then you probably want folks to be able to get together BUT still  be able to get away from the crowd. Who wants to be right next to the inlaws, creepy uncles, or crying babies? If you are with a bunch of college friends, who wants to be right next to the loud mouth?  Or just a bunch of couples/lovers who like traveling together but want to maintain social distance!  We have several options to suit your unique travel requirements.

When you come to Asheville, your group is gonna want to be near the downtown and West AVL activites, yet far enough away to have privacy and the beautiful mountains. Close enough, yet not too close.

While RevT has officiated Weddings and Funerals in NC, TX, Mexico, and International Waterways, he has yet to perform a ceremony at Penley Produce.  With a batting average of 1,000, all the couples he's married are STILL happily together:  CC & Brian, Kari & Jack, Jason & Liana, Miles & Amanda.  RevT is happy to consider any and all request for officiating your wedding ... but know the pre-wedding counseling is brutal.  #AreYouSure

    Penley Produce Vacation Homes is a longtime supporter of the Asheville Symphony, and we are so grateful for their partnership. Their commitment to the arts helps make our concerts and community programs possible year after year. We are proud to have them as part of our Asheville Symphony family, and Western North Carolina is lucky to have a company that invests so deeply in the cultural life of our community. Thank you, Penley Produce!
