About this house rental

The world disappears once you arrive at this stunning, modern retreat in the forrest. The house is situated in the middle of 20 acres of forest and adjacent to over 300 acres of hiking trails and preserved land.

During your stay you will love that you have:
• Amazing privacy and seclusion
• Beautiful mountain views
• Easy (just steps away) access to miles of hiking and biking trails
• Quick access to Asheville must-do’s like Hickory Nut Gap farm, Chimney Rock, and Lake Lure
• Easy 25 minute drive to downtown Asheville and access to breweries, restaurants, and the Biltmore Estate


The Living Space

Entry:
You enter the house through the front door and immediately notice the open concept living area. There is space to take off your shoes (please) and leave your bags by the door. If you round the corner, or enter through the garage, there are 3 oversized lockers that allow you to hang your coats. The front hallway goes past the stairs to the lower level, and if you turn left you will find the laundry room and access to the back patio and grill. The laundry room has a sink and full sized washer and dryer for your stay.

There is also a powder room off the main hallway and past the powder room is the master suite.


Living Area:
Enter the main living area and you’ll immediately notice:
• The stunning kitchen flowing into dining room and living space
• The amazing view out a wall of glass
You will feel that you are in a glass treehouse looking out to the beautiful tress that fill the property. The living room has a wood burning fireplace and seating for your whole party. We do ask that you do not use the fireplace for stays less than 10 days. If you would like to use the fireplace for a shorter stay, there may be additional fees. Please let us know when you make your reservation.

Above the fireplace is a TV hidden behind a steel ribbon. The dining room table, which seats 10, is adjacent to the living space and adjacent to the kitchen for easy food and drink service. A Sonos sound system fills the entire space with music to entertain with and to relax.


Kitchen/Dining Area:
The kitchen and dining room are attached to the living room so that you can visit with each other at all times. Don’t worry parents, there is a downstairs den to send the kiddos ;). The kitchen has all appliances you might need. There is a Bosch oven and induction range (no flame – no mess!). The island in the kitchen provides huge prep space and the tuck away bar allows for discrete storage. There is a wine fridge and beer fridge under the tuck away bar cabinet. The kitchen also has solar tubes which bring in wonderful sunlight throughout the day.

Main Porch:
Off the living room is the main porch. This screened in porch is amazing for hanging out. The Sonos system is connected there and the breeze that blows down the mountain keeps it very comfortable even on the hottest day.


Bedrooms:
The master bedroom is on the main floor at the end of the hallway. It has a king sized bed and its own, private porch. The two walk in closets provide plenty of storage and the master bath provides its own special retreat.

Upstairs are 4 bedrooms. The first has a king sized bed and a twin daybed with another twin pullout below. This room has an en suite bathroom. Down the hallway are two bedrooms, one of which has a king sized bed and one of which has a queen sized bed. These two bedrooms share a jack and jill full bath. The last bedroom on this floor has 2 full sized bunk beds (4 beds total) as well as bean bag seats and a gaming system for the kids. This bedroom shares the jack and jill bathroom but you must enter the bathroom through one of the other bedrooms.

The bottom floor has a queen bedroom with its own full bath that also doubles as the bathroom for the lower level common area.

Lower Level:
The lower level living space includes a pool table and 70 inch tv for hangout time. You can also exit this level into the yard for outside time.







Some notes:
• For stays less than 10 days, we ask that you do not use the fireplaces. If you want to use them, we ask that you note it in your reservation request as we have an additional cleaning fee for the wood fireplaces.
• Our neighborhood is access via a narrow road. Please drive slowly.
• All inside TVs have DirectTV. The main porch TV has roku. Sonos systems are throughout the main floor and porch, as well as outside the lower level.
• The house has a propane generator in case there is ever a power outage (rare – but does happen). This means you will don’t have to worry about the power going out for Thanksgiving dinner!
• Wifi is available throughout the house
• For the safety of all of our guests, we do have exterior video cameras on the home and property. There are no cameras inside the house of course.

My family of 14 enjoyed our stavery isolatedy. Home is beautiful and true to listing pictures!!! The 3 floors gave us plenty of space. Kitchen is well equipped. Teenagers enjoyed the pool table and corn hole boards. Screened in porch was a delight and we spent much time there. As stated in listing, the home is very isolated and road is narrow but paved the whole way.

This is an absolutely amazing, peaceful, private, retreat. The home is so beautifully renovated and kept up. Everything was as advertised and better. So many amazing amenities on hand from the kitchen to everyday needs. We truly enjoyed our wedding week having this as a home base and getting to show off the area to our friends from afar. We wanted another few weeks just to enjoy the home and it’s peacefulness. Thank you for a great experience!

Just a lovely home! My sisters, cousins and I have been getting together every summer for 30+ years and this is the best house yet. Great for a large group with plenty of comfortable seating and open floor plan. And the kitchen....oh, the kitchen - just a joy to cook in with everything you need - even a martini shaker (thank you). And so close to Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Perfect getaway!

The house is as beautiful and modern as the pictures show. And the location is secluded--tucked into the woods. Very unique and wonderful.

Our family had a wonderful time. The listing does not give this home justice. This home exceeded our expectations. We were a group of grandparents, parents and grandchildren the location was spacious, quiet and well supplied. Will stay again.

Amazing stay! The house is chic and it definitely fit the occasion. It’s fully stocked with quality products and appliances. The fireplace created an extra ambiance. Everything we needed was provided and then some! Kudos to the host! Super responsive and kind. I will definitely go back. Trust and believe the last mile to the house is real, it’s steep, narrow and winding. Once you arrive you will forget all about that! Enjoy and thank you.
