Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
Dolly is a 1968 retro camper trailer that has been restored to meet the needs of our visiting guests. Located close to Asheville, Hendersonville, Brevard (home to waterfalls and mountain bike trails), the Asheville airport, Biltmore Estate and all the best breweries, restaurants and shops that WNC has to offer! Dolly may be tiny, but she has a lot to offer! One double bed comfortably sleeps two adults. The dinette also transforms into a small double bed (suitable a small child). The kitchenette offers coffee and tea essentials, breakfast items, a large mini-fridge (with freezer) and a toaster oven. The original oven has been kept intact for the beauty it adds but it is not for guest use. There is a sink for rinsing dishes or brushing teeth (drinking water is provided). The outside patio is perfect for sharing a glass of wine or drinking your morning coffee. The camper is parked next to our house but stills provides plenty of privacy in this quiet, wooded neighborhood. Access to the laundry room and full bathroom is through the mud room door of the main house. This area will be locked off from our personal living areas, for the duration of your stay, for your privacy as well as ours. You will likely see our super-friendly kitties while you enjoy your coffee on the little patio beside the camper. Please do not allow them into the camper so that we may maintain an allergen free space. Keep in mind that there is no TV. Dolly has all the benefits of camping - peaceful and cozy, sounds of nature, basic essentials - but with the added benefits of a cozy bed, full bath and laundry (without having to haul a bunch of gear!)Dolly is a 1968 retro Layton camper that offers the ease and basics of camping, but with a comfortable bed, kitchenette (toaster, hot plate, hot water kettle and refrigerator - no oven) and access to a full bathroom and laundry facilities. Dolly is located in a very safe, wooded, walkable suburban neighborhood just south of Asheville.

Retro trailer close to Asheville
Dolly The Retro Camper
Darling retro trailer with nice touches. Very close to Asheville so you can stay there and visit Asheville without having to drive too far. Having access to a bathroom with a shower and washing machine is a big plus. Also Comfortable outdoor area to sit
