About this property

Asheville's Best Mountain Retreat-5 mile. Downtown! Pet Friendly,Nice Spa & Deck

  • Jan/Feb Special Pricing! Enjoy mountain living while only 5 miles from city centre Asheville! Located on Elk Mountain Scenic Hwy, a beautiful mountain road leading to the Blue Ridge Pkwy and is a major destination for road cyclists. Only minutes for N. Asheville and city centre.


    Elk Mountain Scenic Hwy connects to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our home is only 5-minutes from all of the north Asheville amenities including Fresh Market and Ingles and only 10-minutes from city centre Asheville. It's an incredibly spacious home with 3 levels.

    Relax on the deck while catching fire-flies, listening to the cicadas and watching for wildlife sightings - including turkeys and bears!

    Over 2500 sq ft of space on close to an acre of land.

    Master bedroom/bath with king bed is located on main level and has connecting bathroom with double vanity. The two bedrooms upstairs have queen beds and share a full bathroom, as well as an upstairs den with TV. In the fully finished basement you will find a separate living area with wet bar, dart board, private deck with porch swing, comfy couches and TV with video games and films. On this level there is a king bedroom with private bath and separate entrance off this room for extra privacy.

    The main house and basement have separate AC units to ensure comfort for everyone. We have toys and books for the little ones and a pack and play.

    We are dog friendly and require an additional $75 Pet Fee per dog (per stay). Please note, fence around property is not secure or complete.

    Hotsprings Hot Tub. $75 Cleaning Fee applies for use.

    Our driveway is pretty steep and a little tricky. It holds 3-4 cars without anyone having to move their car. More cars would require some car shuffling to come and go. In the fall, wet leaves can be slippery on the drive.

    In winter months, Asheville has the occasional snow or ice. Our mountain road is normally ploughed right away, or melts off quickly, but sometimes it might be later in the day. So if you don't have 4wd it is the perfect opportunity to spend the day making snowmen and sledding!

    Recently renovated with all new wood floors throughout home and all new painting. In addition, we have an upgraded kitchen with every amenity imaginable.

    Home was not damaged by Hurricane Helene.

A very nice mountain house that has several levels allowing for privacy for the various family members (and children). While close to downtown, it feels nice and secluded.

Our family had a nice weekend stay, the location was very nice and quiet and the home was well stocked with supplies and the rooms were nicely decorated. Having the different areas was spacious for a large family and the beds were comfortable. The lower area was great for the grandparents as it even had it's own entry door. The scenic drive also connects to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and doing the Craggy Pinnacle hike was a fun side trip. It was a good place for a large family to stay while touring the Asheville area.

Cozy house great for a group

Stayed here with several couples. The place was in a great location with a beautiful view, and close to downtown. Very clean and cozy, with a lot of thoughtful details like extra blankets and hair dryers. Would absolutely come back and stay again!

Perfect retreat for family

This was the perfect house for our family of four couples plus pups! Due to the weather, we only used the living room fireplace which was lovely. We also enjoyed the hot tub. It is an easy drive to downtown Asheville as well.

The home is very nice. 4 comfortable bedrooms. Mama Bear and two cubs were in the woods behind the house. Gorgeous creatures. This is a pet friendly house and while the house was clean there is pet hair.

Mountain retreat Asheville

We were a group of 7 adults. The house had plenty of room to accommodate all of us comfortably. The hot tub and fire pit was a great addition for our evening enjoyment. It was well equiped with kitchen essentials. House was close to a food store and about a 10 min drive to the downtown area. We enjoyed our visit very much.

Great digs for a small group

The house is very accurately described in the VRBO listing. In most respects it turned out better than anticipated. The kitchen was well equipped, there were plenty of towels, glasses, condiments, and so forth. The layout offers privacy with lounge and bedroom space on all three levels. It was very clean and the owner’s handbook was the most thorough we’ve ever seen. This house suited our needs brilliantly.

Beauty and bears

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home. The size was perfect for our family. We really appreciated that there were bedrooms AND living spaces on each level. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and our son and his wife enjoyed the hot tub. The only issue we had was repeated bear encounters. It was great fun to watch them as we sat on the deck, but More than a bit of a hassle, cleaning up the trash that they strewed all over several times during our stay. I believe the owner is trying to come up with a solution for this, but I know it's difficult because they are determined! In spite of the bears, we had a Great stay at this comfortable mountain home.

Fall Foilage

Very nice home. We had 6 adults and it was very comfortable and had more space than we actually used. We were generally out during the day and evening and back at night time. The set up gave each of 3 couples their own floor with bed bath and living (although we congregated on main living floor). Hosts had really thought of everything and can not think of anything we needed. The flashlights were handy at night as it does get quite dark. We did not end up using the hot tub - maybe next time. Views are very nice and very scenic drive up to house. Not far to either town or Blue Ridge Pkwy. Did get to see black bear cross road about a block south of house.

Mountain Livin

Beautiful location in the mountains with crisp mountain air and surrounded by nature yet still nice and close to downtown Asheville and the local attractions. Spacious and clean house with a nice outdoor deck on both levels, a fire pit and a hot tub. The best of both worlds and perfect for our trip

Lovely mountain retreat

The house was conveniently located to biltmore village, downtown and nature walks. With great communication, it was easy check in and home is ideal for 4 couple weekend. My only critique is that the bedroom windows had no blinds so there is a lack of privacy when people on deck. Even with this one critique we would absolutely rent again. Grab this house when its available.

Family reunion extravaganza

This was an amazing house getaway. The property was beautiful, clean and big enough for all three families to spread out and enjoy each other. It was updated, fully furnished and equipped with all the amenities. It was located very close to the Asheville city limits. The only obstacle was the narrow driveway because I had a very large suv.

Great Getaway

Our stay was fantastic. The house was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. The layout of the house was great for what we needed. We had a very enjoyable stay. The only “note” we have is in regards to the hot water heater. The hot water did not keep up with all showers being used at one time and took a while to heat back up. BUT the next day we knew this and staggered our showers and had no issues. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful well equipped house in a lovely location

We have rented homes all over the world and this one was among the nicest. It is very nicely furnished and very comfortable. We cooked on two of the six nights we were here and found the kitchen well equipped. Andy, the owner, was most helpful when we had a glitch with our GPS in finding the house. He stayed on the phone with us until we turned into the driveway. We had a great week here and highly recommend it for friends traveling together. You can be as alone or as together as you choose with sitting areas on all 3 levels.

Weekend Getaway

My trip was a birthday celebration with my adult kids. This home was beautiful, and perfect for our getaway. We arrived to a spotlessly cleaned home with an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation. Plenty of extra towels, blankets, and soft throw blankets. Beds very comfy and a quiet neighborhood. There was so much space and we could all be together, but have privacy. The pictures are accurate. We enjoyed the hot tub, used the fire pit, sat out on the deck and felt like we were in the trees. Overall a 5 star rating, and would definitely stay again.
