As always the property was perfect for our base of operations. Perfect for 3 couples. Close enough to all breweries yet far enough out for quiet time in between brewery trips. The hot tub was great each evening after spending time around Asheville. The hosts were great as always.
Great place to get ready and have a photoshoot for our elopement ceremony. The deck was a great place to take pictures and the house was so homey. 10/10
This is a great secluded spot with wonderful mountain views. Home is in excellent condition and very comfortable. Great outdoor areas for relaxing and taking in the views.
Enjoyed our family weekend away to celebrate a big birthday. This place had all the necessities and we loved the hot tub and views . Great communication with owner and offered early check in .
The views were amazing! The property was clean, well stocked, and the kitchen was well labeled. The decks were wonderful and a great place to relax. Thanks for a great stay!
This house was amazing! The views were spectacular and the hot tub was the perfect place to relax after a day exploring Asheville. The owners thought of everything and the place was immaculate! Excellent experience!
Our stay was beyond wonderful. Stave in an awesome host, communication was on point! Just what some tired souls needed! We would love to stay here again.
Our family needed some down time after a busy year and even busier holiday season. The house was a perfect retreat for us! Not only did we enjoy the amazing views, comfortable beds, hot tub and every amenity you could hope for, but ease of access to all Asheville has to offer was great, too. Highly recommend this property.
Everything about this cabin was perfect. Views are beyond amazing, cabin is exceptionally clean and well stocked. If you are looking for a place to stay in the Asheville area, choose this one.
A great property and would stay there again. The road to get there is a little challenging , but since the weather was nice we made it just fine. It is a drive into the Asheville action, but we enjoyed staying outside of it all. The views are absolutely amazing and made for enjoyable cocktails at sunset. The host is easy to communicate with if needed.
Loved the house and location. Well appointed and CLEAN! Perfect for three couples - each had a bedroom and a private bath. Hottub was great in the evenings! We will return in warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor areas further!!!
We had a great time on our girls weekend! We really enjoyed the hot tub and the views are beautiful! We went to Asheville for the day and it was a short drive, 20 minutes or so. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.
This house was perfect for our needs. Very well appointed and had everything we needed for a great weekend. Easy trip into Asheville and very welcoming after busy days visiting breweries. We got to see a couple of bears on our way up to the house. Hot Tub was wonderful to soak the muscles after a lot of walking around Asheville. We will definitely come back here next year.
One of the nicest rentals we’ve had, ever. Property was in great condition, private, beautiful views, and convenient to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Family friendly too - daughter enjoyed a nearby park w/ playground and the wildlife center. The ping pong table was a nightly routine. Host was a great communicator.
No doubt the most gorgeous VRBO property I have stayed at. Breathtaking views and lovely home. Well appointed kitchen and loved the layout of 3 "master suites". Loved the BBQ and ping pong table.
Very responsive host. Exceeded expectations!
My wife and I absolutly enjoyed the home, the amenities, and the views! The proximity to Asheville is excellent. When looking for homes in the area, there are many to chose from. We chose this home and enjoyed it! The kitchen is completely stocked with cooking utensils, and amenities. The house has everything you need to enjoy the time and maintain an active visit. We will be staying there again!
No need to leave the house. The home amenities can keep you happy for your entire stay. We enjoyed cooking, playing ping pong, board games and the hot tub with its own panoramic view of the mountains. It was a wonderful opportunity to make special memories with our family.
The house was very clean and well organized.

About the host
Hosted by Steve Holbrooks
This home is owned by Steve and Henrietta Holbrooks. We are native North Carolinians and have always held a deep love and appreciation for the Blue Ridge Mountains. We've hiked many of the area trails and never missed a chance to tour the Blue Ridge Parkway. We've had great times camping there with our children and other families, sharing adventures and making memories. Now, as 'empty nesters', we've taken up kayaking, traveling, and gaining an appreciation of the culture & history of the NC Mountains. We stayed in Knob View for the first time in August 2013 and fell in love with the home immediately. The long range views along with its serenity and tranquility were so unique. We also have friends who stayed with us who, after experiencing the area, purchased land and built a vacation home nearby (VRBO #865183).
Why they chose this property
Asheville has always been one of our favorite destinations. The area offers something for everyone. There's a vibrant arts culture with artisans and performers that bring the downtown to life after dark. It has beautiful architecture, fabulous shops, restaurants, and a booming craft beer industry. For those who prefer smaller towns, Black Mountain and Weaverville are popular destinations nearby. There's the Biltmore House, Gardens, and Winery which are a must see. Those who enjoy watersports will find a canoe/kayak outfitter just 20 minutes away on the French Broad River. And of course, the natural beauty that surrounds you explains why The Blue Ridge Parkway has been the most visited 'park' in the US every year since 1949.
What makes this property unique
Knob View Retreat offers the perfect retreat following a day exploring the Asheville area. It's only 15 minutes from downtown but seems 'worlds away'. We enjoy the privacy and quiet, you can hear the birds chirping, the squirrels rustling through the leaves, and the wind blow. At dusk the sunsets over the mountain range are to die for. At night the crickets will sing you to sleep. And of course there are mountain views everywhere you look! Ahhhhh
