About this house rental
Escape to your own secluded slice of mountain paradise at Blue Ridge Bliss! Named one of the "Best Vacation Rentals in Asheville" by Business Insider, this spacious home perched atop nearly 10 wooded acres offers privacy, breathtaking views, a combination of luxury amenities and rustic charm, and a short walk to trails and cycling.
Completely renovated in 2009, this home features a stunning, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, hardwood floors, and tongue-and-groove cedar paneling. The central living room includes 180 degrees of windows with postcard-worthy views of mountains and sunsets. Large, open kitchen features granite countertops, double oven, pantry, oversized copper farm sink, five-burner propane gas stove, and Keurig coffee maker. The upper loft includes additional seating, a smart TV with Roku streaming & DirecTV cable, and a space to work. Enjoy music in the loft and main level through six Bluetooth-connected ceiling speakers. A lower living area includes a 65” smart TV with Roku streaming & DirecTV cable and 5.1 speaker surround sound. A private primary suite with an en suite bath on the lower level opens onto the stone patio. The second and third bedrooms have full en-suite baths. The third bedroom with bunk beds has a sliding barn door to separate it from the den area.
Relax with unobstructed views of layers of mountains, cozy up to the fire pit, or enjoy evening meals on the newly-added patio dining set on the large wraparound porch.
Nestled off of Ox Creek Road near the intersection of Elk Mountain Scenic Highway and The Blue Ridge Parkway, the home is within walking distance to popular hiking trails and cycling along the Parkway. Secluded but centrally located, the adorable town of Weaverville offers several local, delicious restaurants and brewery options. The home is also just a short drive to Asheville (20 minutes) and the town of Black Mountain, which provide even more culinary, shopping, and outdoor experiences.
Please note: A brand new water filtration system was added in October 2020, however, it does not apply to outdoor water supply. The hot tub is serviced and cleaned weekly, but due to natural minerals in the well water, it can appear discolored. Rest assured that it is safe for soaking! A Pack N Play was added in February 2023. Firewood is not provided as part of the rental. We recommend picking up a bundle of firewood at one of our local Ingles grocery stores. This house is pet-friendly with an additional pet fee. There is an exterior security camera.
During the colder winter months, icy and/or snowy road conditions can become extreme. From December through March, please come prepared with AWD or 4WD vehicles.

Wonderful home and nicely located with quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and close enough to Asheville to enjoy some of the city fun. Clean and well cared for property that is ideal for a family.

Property and house was amazing. We somehow were able to use Uber to get to and from Asheville all weekend
10.0 / 10.0
I loved so many things about this house and trip - the location is excellent, the kitchen and all the supplies were wonderful, I adored the textile art on the walls, and the view is just unbeatable. We saw bears 3 different times! We went on some short hikes, spent some time in Asheville, but got a lot of time doing crafts and relaxing at the house. Only issue was we never could figure out some of the tv / audio connections but who cares when there’s so much else to see and do?! I hope to stay here again next spring / summer.

This home was large, clean, and has stunningly beautiful views. Plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their own space and gather around the cozy dining room for family dinners. The only negatives were the hot tub not staying warm ( although the weather this week was not over 58 degrees during the day and 33 at night) and the road closures on blue ridge parkway that forced us to find alternate routes to the home. I would recommend this home to any family that wants a true mountain getaway.

Our family had a wonderful stay at Blue Ridge Bliss. The views were spectacular from both levels. The house was very clean and had plenty of amenities. Short walk to the Mountains to Sea Trail and Blue Rdige Parkway is close as well. Would highly recommend this property.

Nice house and very private location. Unfortunately guests before us left the house in a dire condition and took extra time to clean so we did not get into house until 6 pm. Parts of house seemed to have lingering pet odor. On bright side, the drive into Asheville takes you onto Blue Ridge Parkway which is beautiful. Lots of good hikes within 30 minutes of house. We loved Asheville especially the many excellent breweries (don’t miss Burial Beer Co.).

We had an incredible time exploring the region while using this place as a base camp. The views from the hot tub and porch at sunset were incredible and we had a fantastic time. 100% would recommend this place to anyone.

Two couples traveled from WI to NC for a long weekend of hiking, food and adulting away from the kids. Blue Ridge Bliss was a great rental that I absolutely would book again. Thank you for having everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
5.0 / 10.0
A rare combination of terrific house and perfect setting. The house is remote enough to truly feel 'away', but still only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville--and less than 5 from all of the hiking and sights along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The finishes in the house are above what you might expect in a rental property, as well. Only real downsides are slow internet (hey, you're in the mountains) and the long unpaved driveway that can be a little iffy in rain or poor visibility. Not unsafe by any means, but something that can catch a city-slicker off guard. Highly recommend this house!

We had a wonderful stay at blue ridge bliss! The house was clean and comfortable. The views were amazing. We love all the family games available to play during our stay and of course the hot tub.

Home was clean and comfortable. View was outstanding. Loved our stay!
5.0 / 10.0
The house is beautiful and well-appointed (I've never seen a kitchen in a short-term rental that has as much equipment as this one did!). The views are gorgeous and the house feels remote, but is really just a 20 minute drive from Asheville. Be warned, the street the house is on is a twisty-windy gravel road, so when they say a AWD/4WD is recommended, they mean it). Also, be advised, for people who are picky about mattresses, the king sized bed is super soft, the bottom bunk of the bunk beds is super firm (no one slept in the top bunk, so I can't speak to that), and the queen in the upstairs bedroom is somewhere in between. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend Blue Ridge Bliss to anyone wanting a stay in the mountains.
5.0 / 10.0
Wonderful home. Great fireplace and fire pit next to the hot tub. Scenic views near great hiking trails that we enjoyed with our dogs. About 25-30 minutes outside Asheville. Fun games and puzzles in the house. Blue tooth speakers made the music enjoyable. We’d visit again.

Wonderful cabin with cozy amenities and stunning views. Most comfortable bed I have had in a vacation rental.

Great location, amazing views...close enough to everything while still feeling remote. The kitchen was the best equipped of any rental property we've stayed. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner with ease. The close proximity of hiking trails was a great plus.

This property was a wonderful surprise! It is very private but has all the luxuries of home! The views are breathtaking and the house was perfect for our family! The internet was super slow so we could not stream a movie, but we enjoyed playing board games anyway!

If you want a beautiful view stored away from the outside world then this is the place!!! Absolutely wonderful and isolated!!

This home is just perfect for enjoying a quiet mountain escape- the view couldn't be more beautiful, the home is very nicely appointed and the kitchen well equipped. Our family enjoys cooking and we have learned to bring many of our own cooking tools from home but it wouldn't be necessary again, in this kitchen. The gravel road was fine for us in late October, but see how it could be necessary to have a 4-wheel drive in Winter- great hiking very nearby- can't say enough nice things about this place.
5.0 / 10.0
The property was well appointed and had a great view. You are 15-25 minutes to Weaverville and Asheville, so not the best choice if you plan on hopping around. There is a great hiking trail located close by, and we saw several bears on the property.
5.0 / 10.0
Great location with amazing views. Close enough to everything for convenience, but far enough away to feel remote. Peaceful, quiet, scenic, great kitchen with everything you need to cook or bbq. Wonderful place for family to getaway together and relax. Would definitely visit again!

Million dollar view. Such a great kitchen to cook in. Great layout. Fire pit and hot tub a plus. Only complaint is internet at the top of the mountain is spotty so difficult if you have to work long hours (but we were warned about this). No hotpads in the kitchen. Very minor. Will definitely stay there again

We had a wonderful stay at Blue Ridge Bliss. The views are obviously the best part, but the accommodations are very comfortable! And the communication with the realty company and check in and out procedures are smooth and easy. Staying here gives you the best of both worlds -- the peace and quiet and isolation of being in the mountains, but with Asheville and all it offers just a short drive away. We would absolutely stay here again!
5.0 / 10.0
Great house for our group of 6 to hang out, hike and cook. Well stocked kitchen. Good layout for a crowd with lots of seating options. Pictures don’t do it justice - the views are spectacular - loved sitting around fire pit and watching the sunset.
