We welcome you to Tranquility at Emerald Hills, a spacious, three-level vacation rental that can comfortably accommodate up to nine guests. This mountain retreat is just minutes away from some of Western North Carolina's premiere tourism destinations, including DuPont State Park and the Pisgah National Forest, and is also convenient to downtown Hendersonville and Brevard. Both of these towns feature eclectic downtown areas, excellent pubs and restaurants, as well as the lure of great outdoor activities. Then come back to relax and unwind on this home's private and heavily-wooded lot, with INCREDIBLE panoramic mountain views.  Located on the main floor of this three-level home, the master bedroom features large windows with long-distance views of the mountains, a king bed and a 50" Smart TV. The master bath contains a large vanity and a walk-in shower.  Also on the main floor you will find the newly-furnished living room, with a 65" pivoting smart TV with soundbar and a large well-equipped kitchen with breakfast nook, as well as three separate main level porches! Watch the beautiful Western North Carolina sunset from the rocking chairs on the covered front porch or chill out on the fully-screened back porch as you grill dinner, or you might prefer to catch some rays on the uncovered side porch adjacent to the kitchen while you visit with friends.  The outstanding views continue upstairs, where you will find two spacious bedrooms. You can stargaze from the telescope in the main bedroom on the second floor, which is furnished with a queen bed and accent sleeper sofa. The second upstairs bedroom has two twin beds along with a twin sleigh bed with trundle. Each bedroom contains a Roku-enabled smart TV, and they share one full-size bathroom.  The basement contains a full bath, laundry area and a sitting/playroom area with sofa and TV.

About this home: We are perched on the side of a mountain! The private road approaching the home is a paved, one-lane road. The driveway from the road to the home is paved as well, but very steep. Vehicles with a low carriage will need to approach slowly and with caution in order to avoid scraping the bumper or bottom of the car. A four-wheel drive vehicle is not necessary, but it does make navigating the driveway easier. If the roads are icy, plan to stay put until it is safe to travel. There is enough space for four vehicles to park in the paved driveway. We do have three outdoor security cameras on site, as well as an alarm system, which will be disabled prior to your arrival. PLEASE NOTE: We have stocked the home with a limited supply of toilet paper, hand soap, paper towels, garbage bags, dishwashing soap and laundry detergent for your convenience. If you happen to run out or need additional supplies during your stay, it is your responsibility to replenish at a nearby store. Towels, linens and basic toiletry items are provided, but housekeeping services during your stay are not. As a friendly reminder, no pets are allowed, and smoking or vaping are not permitted in the house. A $500 fine will be assessed if there is evidence of pets or smoking on premises, including cigarette butts discarded in the yard. The garage is not for guests' use.
