About this house rental
The Medicine House — A Blue Ridge Sanctuary for Rest & Renewal
Welcome to The Medicine House, a tranquil mountain retreat nestled among whispering trees just five minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, seven minutes from downtown Waynesville, and thirty-five minutes from Asheville. It’s the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility — a place to breathe, restore, and reconnect.
Created with care and devotion, this sanctuary has been a space of deep healing for us, and it brings us joy to share the peace and presence we’ve found here with you.
From the moment you arrive along the gravel drive, the calm of the forest begins to settle in. Step inside and feel the warmth of a home inspired by journeys through the Indian and Nepalese Himalayas — where simplicity and sacredness meet.
The wraparound porch invites slow mornings and restful evenings. Enjoy tea as the sun rises, unwind in the hot tub and barrel sauna beneath the stars, or gather by the fire pit for conversation, song, or quiet reflection. Whether you come to restore, celebrate, or simply rest, this space invites you to arrive fully and be met by the mountains.
At the center of the house lies a living room designed for presence and connection. Large windows draw the mountains inward, and the outward-facing couch offers a place for contemplation and conversation.
At its heart stands a central altar — around it are instruments, books, and art chosen to evoke stillness, curiosity, and reverence. You’re invited to engage with the space in your own way — to sit in silence, create music, read, pray, or simply be.
The home offers two serene bedrooms: a king suite with a full bath and a queen suite with a standing shower. Each room is designed for rest, with soft light, natural textiles, and subtle reflections of harmony and devotion.
The kitchen is fully equipped for ease and nourishment, complete with a rotating selection of coffees, teas, spices, and local goodies.
Within a thirty minutes drive, you’ll find some of the most breathtaking overlooks and trails along this side of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
We’re happy to share our favorite local hikes, cafés, and hidden gems nearby.
The house stays naturally cool beneath the trees in summer; open the windows for the mountain breeze, or use the central HVAC system as you wish. In cooler months, the gas logs in the living room offer cozy warmth — perfect for quiet evenings or conversation by firelight.
Our wish is that your time here supports your rest, your rhythm, and your renewal.
Blessings,
Kate and Nick

Terrific communication with hosts & easy check-in! Location was superb & the hot tub & sauna was a huge plus! The healing vibe of the property was delightfully present. Given the price, I didn’t expect the property to look so tired. A deepcleaning would also be beneficial. All of that said, we had a lovely stay. I hope my review helps to manage expectations.

This is a special place. The amenities are excellent, but what makes this particular property head and shoulders above other places is the ambiance that has been carefully curated. There are both a hot tub and sauna, but in addition to these, it is the view and huge windows that grace the living room, that lifts this place up. Everything is very clean, there are excellent choices for teas and condiment options. This is our #1 favorite place! We hope to return for a week in the future.
