This company is treating its customers disgracefully in the aftermath of Helene. It has been nearly 2 months and we have not been allowed to access our storage unit housing ALL of our household possessions (we had just moved to NC and all our possessions were still in storage). We have called and emailed multiple times, but only get generic messages and empty promises from the corporation (not the actually location) about how they are working on it and will get back to us soon. We live nearby and drive by often and very little is happening there. We need access to our storage unit or to be told definitively that it is a total loss, so we can at least finish our FEMA application to possibly get some funds back. We will likely get very little in the way of insurance from SS, maybe $2,000, when they were storing possessions for us totaling over $40,000, not to mention priceless artwork, books, and family heirlooms collected over decades. Do better SmartStop and communicate with your customers. ... Read more

The facility at Swannanoa River Rd was destroyed in Hurricane Helene. SmartStop has basically abandoned their customers who had their irreplaceable belongings stored in there. It has been 7 weeks and there have only been a couple of emails providing very little information on what they are doing. Customers are not allowed to go near the facility and we have no idea if anything would have been salvageable or not. Since it has been 7 weeks of our stuff buried in wet mud that chance is now very low. SmartStop should have stepped up and admitted that their facility is most probably a total loss instead of stringing their customers along with false promises for 2 MONTHS. We need to know if everything is in fact a total loss or not and then we could proceed with insurance or possibly get help from FEMA. We are supposed to have some insurance coverage from the facility and there has been no mention of that or instructions on contacting that service provider. There is no communication and they are cruelly leaving their customers in limbo we are also dealing with the great devastation that Helene brought. Shameful. Do better NOW SmartStop. ... Read more

Chandra and Gerard were both very helpful. We only needed a small unit and what I got was perfect. The property and storage unit were both clean and felt safe too. Chandra answered all of my questions and was very friendly. Thank you! ... Read more

SmartStop on Swannanoa River Rd in Asheville has housed our valuables for 6 years after we moved back to the city and found ourselves without a basement or a garage. Never once did we worry about our things, theft or anything. They have great security, surveillance, and staff patrols regularly and cleans up if needed. Manager Chandra was absolutely a pleasure to work with; no problems, but any admin issue we had, she took care of right away and was always on top of things, certainly made our stay very pleasant. We highly recommend SmartStop! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

Storage units available at SmartStop Self Storage - 550 Swannanoa River Road include the following amenities: Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Online Payment and RV Storage. Depending on what you need to put away in storage, you can discover there are some things you absolutely need, so make sure you check with the facility manager that you'll find everything you need on site.

You already know how much stuff you need to put in self storage, so figuring out the unit size you need is the next step. Smaller units such as 5'x5' or 5'x10' spaces can usually be filled with the amount of items you would normally store in a closet: a few chairs and lamps, sports equipment, garden tools and some boxes.

Moving on to larger sizes, imagine the 10'x10' and 10'x15' units as similar to a bedroom or a living room – larger pieces of furniture, sturdier equipment and bicycles can fit here. Finally, a 10'x20' unit has enough space for the contents of a 3-bedroom house, while the larger 10'x30' space easily accommodates the contents of a loaded semi-truck.

Accessibility and quickness are key when it comes to storage, so drive-up storage units are generally regarded as very convenient. Pull your car right up to your storage space, load, unload, and you're good to go! However, if you're mostly storing temperature-sensitive items, you should rather consider indoor storage units.

Climate-controlled units maintain consistent temperatures and humidity levels all year round, making them perfect for all your sensitive items. Moisture and varying temperatures can damage a whole host of things, and that is why a lot of people choose to use climate-controlled units to store items like wooden furniture, electronics, artwork, documents and photographs, collectibles, antiques, etc. If the belongings you're storing are important to you, you should consider renting a climate-controlled unit.
