Asheville Best Mountain Retreat-5 mi. Downtown! Pet Friendly.Spa
About this house rental
Enjoy mountain living while only 5 miles from downtown 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 downtown. 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 downtown 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 movies. 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 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 plowed 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.

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!

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!

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.
5.0
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.

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.
5.0
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.

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.

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.

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

Property suited our family perfectly! 3 nice sized living areas including basement game room & wet bar. Niece enjoyed the hot tub. Property is somewhat remote up winding roads & driveway, so I’d suggest stopping in town prior to arriving if groceries, etc. are needed.

The property was perfect for us! We loved that each subgroup of our family had their own living space, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The deck was great and so was the fire pit area. The hot tub was fabulous, too. Thanks so much for all the kid-friendly equipment and toys. It made our stay so much easier. The property is also located conveniently to the grocery and so many of the activities we wanted to do. We would definitely consider this property again for future visits. Happy!

We took our three adult children/families and dogs. There was not one complaint by anyone in our party. I do wish there was more seating in the larger basement hang out room. The main and upper floors were a little crowded. We cooked every evening meal in the kitchen and that even worked great. We'd stay there again!
5.0
We spent 2 nights at this property with friends. It felt like we were in a tree house! Very well appointed, cozy, comfortable seating on each level. Deck view is beautiful. Only difficulty was finding the driveway in pitch dark. I would suggest solar street address lights at the entrance and solar lights up the driveway. We would stay there again.

Great Property and Location and Host
We had 3 other siblings / spouses staying with us in this lovely home for our son's wedding. We rented it for the week and it was perfect! 4 bedrooms and 3 baths and lots of open space. The kitchen equipment / pots / pans / cutlery were in excellent and clean condition. Outdoor propane grill definitely got some use! It was a steep driveway but ample parking for 4 vehicles. Communication with the host, Andy always had a quick response. Easy to get to downtown Asheville and surrounding areas. Would definitely recommend this home for your next stay!

Great weekend, great stay!
We had 4 couples meet in Asheville for a fun getaway and this house was perfect. Very clean. Nice deck to sit around and hang out. Owner considered details such as chargers everywhere, towels for everyone etc. Super easy check in and check out. The driveway is a bit windy and vertical, but well paved and very manageable. Highly recommend!

The property is beautiful and the house was excellent. Comfortable beds and clean all around. Only note is the very steep and windy driveway, just something to be cautious of if driving at night/in winter conditions. Would stay here again!!

Wedding Weekend in Asheville
The property was very comfortable, clean and well stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very close to downtown and was conveniently located near both the church and the Country Club of Asheville. The only drawback is the very steep driveway and steep and windy road leading to the house. But the views were lovely.
Overall it was the perfect house. My son had the entire downstairs area to spread out. My husband and I enjoyed the Master suite. My Brother in law, his wife and daughter enjoyed the second floor. We all had plenty of room to spread out.
Thank you for sharing your home with us and best of luck with the renovations.
