About this property

Mountaintop suite, mountain views, one level, King bed, pet friendly, accessible

Welcome to Anam Cara! Soul Friend (in Gaelic). This is the place for your soul to find peace. Our home is on a mountain ridge surrounded by forest. We look out over miles and miles of mountains and valleys. Deer, turkeys, and bears make occasional visits. Our home is a destination in itself.

This is a one level ground floor suite: one bedroom, living room, kitchen and full bath with laundry. These are all your private areas to use and are completely separate from the main house. There are beautiful views from all of the oversized windows. Outside, enjoy looking out over the top of the world and at night sit by a fire under the stars. Views are all year. Gaze out over the mountain, at eye-level with soaring hawks, vultures and eagles, and take in the silence of the sky. Sometimes we are above the clouds. Sometimes we are in the clouds! It is a different view every day.

The apartment is all one level, smooth woodgrain tile floors with no stairs from entry or inside. Enjoy the full-sized kitchen (large frig/freezer for the trout you catch), cozy king size bed and in the living room a sleeper sofa that opens to a twin if needed. A desk for writing a post card to the grandchildren or setting up your laptop has its own little nook. Many board games, puzzles, Dish network (2 TVs) and internet/WIFI are provided for rainy days. A full size kitchen has a refrigerator, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave, toaster, 3 choices of coffee makers, small blender, mixer, and a crockpot. It is fully supplied with pots, pans, dishes and basics for cooking and cleaning. The bathroom has a full shower/tub. Laundry has washer/dryer, iron and board. Linens, towels and basic soaps are included. A wood firepit with a grill top and a gas grill are provided so you can cook out at the semi-covered outdoor area. One bundle of firewood per night's stay is supplied. Month long renter includes weekly cleaning, change of linens and towels.

Hike the roads and trails in the gated community or the adjoining Headwaters State Forest. Go fly fishing in the rivers, shopping in town, visit the art dealers, local camps (Carolina Point is very close), tube the rivers and so much more and then come back to your home away from home!

The view was amazing! The bed & pillows were very comfortable. We slept very well. The homemade bread was an unexpected pleasure. We also love the location because it is not too far from Brevard or Asheville but also close to waterfalls. So peaceful & quiet. Our host was exceptional. Although we only got to say hello when we arrived, we would have liked to talk with them more. They are very nice. Can’t wait to come back when it is warmer & we can have coffee on the patio looking at the spectacular views of the mountains.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the mountaintop suite! The suite has stunning views from all rooms and the suite was cozy and super clean! A big thank you to Ursula for the delicious, homemade shortbread. The handwritten letter was informative and added a personal touch. We especially appreciated the personalized welcome tray with treats, water and food bowls for our beloved family dog! The ease of check out was a bonus! The area is beautiful, we enjoyed hiking to waterfalls and dining out in some of the local restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Perfect for 2-3 people!

We had a lovely six-night stay at Anam Cara and it was a great base for walking in the area and enjoying the delights of Brevard. The apartment is well laid out and very well equipped with everything you might need and more, including the most wonderfully comfortable bed. The owners have provided one of the best information folders we have come across on our travels, and, as well as being very friendly and welcoming, Ursula kept us updated with local developments such as the bear cubs in the vicinity and a passing cycle race that might affect road travel. The mountain views from the private terrace are simply glorious: we would highly recommend this soul-nourishing place.

This property is absolutely excellent. Located in a gated area (security) this rental is the bottom half of a large well maintained home, and if you're concerned about privacy because of that, you needn't be. We didn't hear a sound from our hosts Ursula and Frank, until we invited them down to make our acquaintance. We had a great time talking with them too ---so very friendly and down to earth. On top of that, you'll really appreciate the quiet and privacy they offer. Next...If you want mountain views, you'll have it from every room. A large picture window in the kitchen area actually makes cleaning your dishes a treat, and if you forgot something, its probably in one of the drawers. We took notice to that immediately. The thought they gave to the 'little things". The living area has a very comfortable chair with a massage feature, and a sofa and dining table. And again a nice view of the mountains as well. In the bedroom, there is a comfortable king size bed, and to us, has got to be a California King...its Big. The bathroom has plenty of space and water pressure is more than adequate. One other note about the inside, the one thing that really stood out was that it was absolutely spotless. Now about the outside, you'll have plenty of shade cover if you want it, or you can set the chairs out on the lawn. There is a big firepit with chairs and a picnic table and gas grill. All in all, we would highly recommend this property. You'll be very glad you did.

What a beautiful spot!! We enjoyed sitting outside watching the sun set and the stars come out. We had several meals sitting outside. The owners have gone to great lengths to make their guests feel welcome and at home. We stayed 4 nights and think this would be ideal for a long-term stay. The views from every room are stunning. They have a binder with many pages of useful information about activities in their area, which was especially helpful for our last minute trip. The home is located in a gated neighborhood of large lot properties in easy driving distance to activities in every direction.

Gift for Friends

I booked Ursula and Frank's place in the mountains for some dear friends to help celebrate their wedding anniversary. Our friends loved the apartment! The views were incredible, and they said the place was super clean, bright, and airy. They also loved being able to bring their small dog. They said Frank and Ursula were terrific hosts—warm, welcoming, and very responsive. Our friends said they highly recommend the apartment and would love to return. As the person making the reservation on their behalf, I found my experience with Ursula to be fantastic and super easy. It's an all-star spot all around! Higly recommend.

Cozy and comfortable

We booked this as a home base for rest and online work during a 3 night get-a-way between stints of exploring the Brevard, Rosman, Pisgah National Forest area. It was a clean, comfortable, private, cozy lower floor ( with no steps to enter) of a large home. Built into the the side of a mountain, the bedroom, kitchen and den all have a breathtaking view of the beautiful miles and miles of area mountains. There is so much to see and do in this beautiful area of NC. This is my personal 2nd trip to this area in a couple of months and still have things I would like to do there. I recommend this host, the suite, and this beautiful area.

A Wonderful Respite

We had a few quiet days of "life restoration" in this beautiful location! Fly fishing for my husband, walking and solitude for me. The owner's recommendations in their guest book for dining were excellent, and for places to hike and fish. If you desire a more active vacation, there's plenty close by! We were blessed by our time there :-)
