Charming, private cabin on a mountainside yet close to local attractions. We were greeted by wood thrush song and a bear sighting! The high back porch was the perfect spot for coffee, birdwatching, or a good book. Comfy bed, separate lower level we didn’t use also has outdoor access. Great spot!

So inviting & comfortable. We spent most of the time on the covered (deck) porch with ceiling fans in the butterfly forest. Adorable home with high-end finishes. The pics don’t do it justice. So close to town, yet far enough away. 4 stars

Loved our stay at Windy Ridge!

The property and location are just as described and we loved feeling like we were secluded in the woods but close to town and lots of things to do. We went to two breweries, took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, saw several waterfalls. We also enjoyed watching the bears eating acorns while we sat on the deck. It was also a great space for our dog with the fenced yard and decks. Would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area!

Awesome mountainside house!

This house had everything, and it was clean and super-comfortable! Upstairs you have a modern kitchen, living room with reclining sofa, bedroom with king bed, walk-in closet with washer and dryer, and bathroom with shower. Downstairs is similar, but with a smaller kitchen and tub/shower. A wrap-around deck provides gorgeous views.

Amazing Asheville!

Our stay at High Windy was wonderful! We were in town for a family wedding at the Biltmore and the location was perfect - only about 15 minutes from away. We also have friends in the area and enjoyed the fabulous hiking trails. The road up the the house is very steep and narrow but otherwise we loved the house and would definitely recommend!

perfect spot

We stayed here while waiting for our custom home to be built, and loved it. The location is great, because it is convenient to Asheville and Black Mountain, yet you feel miles away when at the house. Great mountain views from the porch which is where we spent our time in the evenings. The hosts were great, helpful, friendly and accessible. Highly recommended!

Great Spot to Relax

The property is perfectly located for things to do in the Ashville area. House is really nice and well kept. My amazement of using touch lamps again took me back to when I was a kid. Has a really nice view looking over the valley with a large back porch. Just be prepared for the ride up the side of the mountain to get to the house. I found it to be exciting and really lets you know you are staying in the mountains. You will love this place if you are wondering to book or not.

Winter Stay in Asheville

Great house and perfect for my wife, dog and I. Reasonable rates, clean and comfortable. The owners, Rodney & Katie were very kind and responsive to our questions. The location was perfect for us, literally a 15 minute drive or less to everything we wanted to see in and around Asheville. Great wintertime views of the surrounding mountains. We would stay here again, for sure. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! Take care, Christian, Rhonda & Hobbs

Fall Getaway

Our stay in Ashevill was great along with the wonderful VRBO property (High Windy) we stayed in. As mentioned above the house was immaculate and the guests were great. We toured the Biltmore mansion, road the Blue Mountain Parkway (hiked and saw a couple waterfalls) and experienced the historic district as well as the western (Artsy) areas of Asheville. The highlight was seeing a family of 5 bears no more than 10 feet from the house ! Would definitely recommend this place for others !
