Great location, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable rooms, lots of space to relax and enjoy. Pool table was well utilized and provided hours of entertainment. And yes, we were visited by a few bears! Overall, a great stay for our family!
This house does not disappoint! It is extremely roomy, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, outstanding views with excellent room for a large family! We absolutely loved our stay!
Great communication with the host. House was clean other than a torn couch cushion and broken fridge shelf. Great location and wonder views of the mountains.
The entire home was spectacular. The views are stunning. There was plenty of room for my family and it provides the perfect space to relax and enjoy the mountains. The place was very clean and well stocked with everything from cookware to utensils to full size toiletries. We loved everything about it. Would definitely recommend.
Our stay was great!We had plenty of room for all of us. It was in a perfect location not far from downtown.The owner was so easy to communicate with and was quick to respond when needed.I would absolutely recommend staying here when in Asheville.
We loved being located so close to downtown Asheville. The house was large and accommodated our group beautifully. The beds were very comfortable, and the bedrooms had reading lamps, electrical outlets, and plenty of space for storeage, besides being lovely. The kitchen was a real standout: a great assortment of pots and pans, serving dishes, good knives, two separate ovens, and a great gas range. We especially loved that this house is wheelchair accessible, with portable ramps for two small steps, and had a high chair and a portable baby bed. It met all our needs!
This house was amazing - big, clean, and in the perfect location to explore the Blue Ridge Parkway or downtown Asheville. Amazing views from the deck too. Would absolutely stay here again!
Lovely place nestled in the hills near Asheville. Really enjoyed the stay, close to breweries, hiking and the proximity to grocery stores, etc made it an easy place to be. Enjoyed a ton!
The house is absolutely lovely and was the perfect gathering place for my large family. We had plenty of space to both collect together and to also have space to break up into smaller groups. The kitchen had all of our cooking needs covered, including a smaller fridge to keep drinks. The house was close to Asheville to be able to go do things but also quiet and isolated so that we could relax. Would absolutely stay here again with a group fo friends or family!
I have lived in San Francisco since 1986 but have been splitting my time between there and Asheville, where my parents and two siblings live, for 20 years. I love the arts scene in Asheville, and there is so much to do outdoors! I am the co-founder the AIDS Memorial Quilt, which started on my back porch in 1987. (Younger people have no clue what this is, but a Google search should help...) I've been running AIDS or LGBT organizations my whole adult life and enjoy the community-building aspect of what I do. After 13 years, I recently stepped down as executive director of AIDS Emergency Fund and Breast Cancer Emergency Fund, two related non-profits that help low income people pay their basic living costs while disabled or going through surgery, chemo or radiation. Asheville has always been my escape space and un-stressing zone. I know it will be yours, too! Whether itâs a gallery opening, dinner with extended family, or just watching the Fall foliage, I know I can leave the rat race behind here.
There is something magical about life in a forest, watching the season change from every window -- on 4 acres, out of sight of neighbors, but SO close to town. I fell in love with the long-range views, the fireplace, and the quick access to everything. Although I spend most of the year in San Francisco, I am here about three months of the year. It would be a shame for a big house like this to sit empty, so I am sharing it with you. I've downsized a bit in San Francisco, and have sent most of my big art pieces to this house, including many pieces from local Asheville artists, that I have acquired over the years. This in my retreat house, with the birds in the trees (and at the feeder) and the sound of the wind. Art galleries in town and the working artists' studios of the River Arts District are my daily hunting grounds when I am here. But the quick drive back up the mountain to the house nourishes my soul.
I love the seclusion, the access to town, the modern conveniences of a newer house, the soaring cathedral ceilings, having all my art accessible around me, and sharing it with new friends.
