About this property

Whimsical Mountain retreat with gorgeous views and privacy.

Ken and I offer a private mountainside retreat just 15 minutes drive from downtown Asheville and 8 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway which offers endless hiking trails, views, and waterfalls.
Guests stay in a private bedroom, bathroom, hallway area separated from the shared space by a sliding "barn door." You are welcome to enjoy use of the back deck, kitchen, and living room (with wood burning fireplace). My husband and I are the only other people in the home. I also enjoy making breakfast for my guests when I am available (which is most of the time).
There is a fire pit and also a lovely mountainside swimming pool available in season.
God has blessed us with a beautiful home and we'd like to share it with you.
Due to our moral standards we prefer that couples wanting to book in our home be married. However, an alternate option for you would be our LOFT where that rule is more flexible. To book this, go to VRBO #1123338
(see pictures # 11 - 17) This is a separate building on our property, private entrance, and is an additional $30 per night. Breakfast is still available most mornings.

Reflection time

Becky and Ken were such gracious hosts. Sharing their faith, their home, their mountain views and their friends. Helpful hints and suggestions on how to get to places and recommending places to go was definitely a plus. I look forward to being able to revisit again. The space was clean and organized. Privacy was respected at all times. I would recommend to everyone!

Great views, gracious hosts

Beautiful house with a gorgeous view from the balcony. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. This was the first time we stayed at a property where the hosts also lived--it was wonderful. We enjoyed hanging out with them. Just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, yet it feels like you are in your own slice of paradise.

The Perfect House to Experience Asheville

The drive up to the house was absolutely beautiful. We went in the summer and the winding roads were such a joy to my friends and I. At one point we saw a bear on the road! When we arrived the view from the property was unbelievable. Becky was extremely generous and provided us with a comfortable place to stay along with snacks, access to her pool, and all the amenities we would want! I would definitely stay here again.
