Welcome to Simple Life House — Western North Carolina's favorite home for groups who want space, comfort, and views that stop you in your tracks. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath retreat sleeps up to 12 across two full levels, with mountain and valley views from nearly every angle, a covered outdoor entertaining area, two fire pits, and everything a large group needs to actually relax. Positioned between Brevard, Hendersonville, and the Blue Ridge wilderness, close to everything, and far from ordinary.

Arrival & Parking

Pull into the paved driveway or the large gravel parking area — there's room for the whole crew, even if you're arriving in multiple vehicles. From the moment you step out of the car, the views hit you: mountains, valleys, and tree lines in every direction. Check-in is fully self-guided via keypad smart lock — your unique door code will be sent through the booking platform a few days before arrival. A keybox with an emergency backup key is also on-site, just in case.

Covered Outdoor Living Area

Before you even step inside, the covered outdoor space will earn its keep. This is a full outdoor room — ceiling fans, warm string lights, roll-up shade screens, and a dining table that seats six. A propane grill is ready to go and propane is provided. Right next to it, a gas fire pit with a comfortable outdoor couch is perfect for morning coffee or late-night conversations under the stars. Propane for the fire pit is provided as well. Around front, a Solo Stove fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs sits in the grass yard — accessible from the upstairs dining room door or from the lower level walkout. Two fire pits, zero arguments about who gets to use one.
