About this house rental

Back by poplar demand with updates! Privacy on 2 acres in a natural setting and a custom green-built home nestled one mile from Warren-Wilson College’s hiking trails. 11 miles to Asheville or Black Mountain.

This mountain sanctuary will soothe your mind, body, heart, and spirit. Sip your morning tea or coffee on the deck overlooking century-old red and white oak trees.
Lounge on the double porch swing while enjoying the beautiful mountain views.

The chef’s kitchen has gorgeous forest views, lots of counter space, a 4-burner gas oven, two dishwashers, a large refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker, and a microwave.

There are 4 bedrooms ( 3 roomy and 1 cozy ) and 4 bathrooms (one is a half bath).
The house offers one king, two queens and two twins (as a bunk bed).

The master bedroom with a king bed will pamper you with its steel canopy bed and soaking tub accented with a picture window.
Built-in steel bunk beds are a treat for the kids along with the fairy door and indoor slide that delivers passengers into the dining room. The third floor offers a queen-sized bed in a spacious room. This bedroom offers gorgeous views from its large circular window and has a half bath.

The revolving bookcase in the living room opens to an office with a queen sized bed. The office also has a television. Wi-Fi is available but there is no cable.


⭐️There is a video of me driving up the driveway in my Honda Accord Hybrid here:
https://youtu.be/S9zqhMTRhm4?si=gLfHgaEinMr4uZsg


Please note that the driveway is 1/10 of a mile up a steep gravel hill.
After you book the property, I will text you a video of my sedan driving up the driveway.

Four-wheel drive is always recommended in the mountains, but it is not necessary.

If you have never lived in the mountains or are from a flat area like Florida, you must have four-wheel-drive.

No passenger vans, U-Hauls, or similar-sized vehicles
( It will mess up the driveway).

If you have experience driving your minivan up steep gravel hills, you can bring a minivan.
Honda minivans struggle with the driveway, and it is the one vehicle I would not recommend bringing unless you are confident with your minivan on steep gravel roads. Honda does advertise their minivan as fully capable of driving on mountain roads; however, I have found that some guests struggle with the driveway.

The house has A/C and heat, in addition to radiant floors.
**There are 4 mini split units, and they MUST be set within 5 degrees of one another**
Severe damage can happen to the units if they are set more than 5 degrees from one another.

Full kitchen, fridge and freezer, washer and dryer, coffee maker, television (no cable) & wi-fi.

Our family loved staying here. It had all we needed and was close to great outdoor activities. Excellent options were provided for rainy days. Response time was incredibly fast and check out was super easy with 3 kids. Highly recommend!

The property and house were lovely, great views of the mountains and the outside porch was a favorite. There was ample space. Be sure to read the description thoroughly! We rented a mini van and thankfully we had minimal issues with the steep driveway, but smaller cars would likely be a better choice if you get a rental car. If driving in a mountainous area is a concern for you, maybe choose elsewhere. We were able to get Ubers to the bottom of the hill and walk up (when not wanting to drive). Communication with the host was clear, friendly and accessible. Location felt very accessible to downtown. We enjoyed our stay here!

Our group had an overall good experience. There were 6 of us (3 couples). Looking at the listing, the home is exactly as described. It really is a quiet cabin completely secluded, with a fun quirkiness that would be great for kids. It's about a 20 minutes drive to downtown. For our personal preference, we didn't love that the home had almost no curtains. Despite it being secluded, we really felt it lacked privacy. Additionally, I don't know that the stay would be ideal for couples. Most doors don't lock, and the home has multiple pathways to each room leaving very little privacy. Again, the home is exactly as described! This is something we didn't realize when booking and that is on us. The host was fantastic. She made the stay feel very personal and was always quickly available for any concerns. I would recommend this as a wonderful place to stay for a family with kids, looking for a lovely cabin style home with great views!

We enjoyed our stay at this enchanting, unique home. The home had plenty of room and was very clean. It’s close proximity to Biltmore and downtown Asheville. Julia was a very accommodating host.

This was our first trip to Asheville, so it was hard picking a place close to the things we wanted to do. This location is a bit out of the way you have to drive in order to do anything. You must pay attention to the host directions on how to get to the house and like she said, try to arrive during the daylight. That is key, I’m not sure we would’ve been able to get to the house had we arrived at night the first time. The house itself was great, the kids loved the slide. The kids room was wonderful for the cousins and there were even some toys provided. The king master shower was absolutely covered in mold! Every tile had mold on it. It was hard to shower without touching the tile. That would really be my only complaint .

We had an amazing long weekend here. The views were amazing, and the fall weather certainly helped! It was great being so close to downtown Asheville and all that it has to offer. The fire pit was used every night, and the slide was a hit with the toddler! It’s a great house for a family get away or a gathering of friends. The house was very clean, the kitchen had all necessities, and there was ample seating throughout the house. The driveway is a little tricky, but if you go slow and steady you will be fine! We will definitely be looking to come back next time we’re planning a trip to Asheville.

Great spot for friends to catch up. The revolving book case and indoor slide were definite highlights.
