About this property

Romantic , 5 miles to downtown Asheville, Private, Hot Tub, Fireplace, Fenced

Contactless Check-In & Check-Out

This unique listing hosts one bedroom, two full bathrooms with view of mountains. It is located five miles from downtown Asheville and four miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This is a newly renovated mountain oasis with a beautiful, private outdoor haven ! The unique architecture style designed and created by the owner is breathtaking. There are cozy, romantic areas throughout. The owner has gone to great lengths to create beauty and character in every room in the house. From the pecky cypress columns and curved walls to the copper trim---there are architectural surprises everywhere you look. Located in Beaverdam Valley, the property includes a hot tub, fireplace with gas logs, covered porches, fire pit, gas grill, and decks. There is a year round view of the mountains. The bungalow has a full kitchen stocked with ample equipment needed to prepare gourmet meals, a dining nook and a wet bar. The bedroom hosts an iron and chestnut queen bed with luxury bedding, cedar wardrobe and flat screen TV. The two full bathrooms are beautiful with granite vanities and stone walk-in showers. The living room has a double leather recliner, stress-less chair with foot stool, flat screen smart TV with sound system, and wireless internet. It is difficult to describe the many details and features in the amazing bungalow!
The property is located just minutes away from downtown Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Grove Park Inn, and the Biltmore Estate. Also, there are many nearby outdoor adventure activities: hiking, whitewater rafting, snow and water tubing, zip lining, kayaking, horseback riding, fly fishing, mountain biking, climbing, snow skiing, and waterfall tours.
Spend the day in downtown Asheville dining, tasting our local beers, shopping or people watching.
Great day trips to nearby small towns: Waynesville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Flat Rock, Chimney Rock, Highlands, and Cashiers. Scenic routes to each, with great lunch spots. Enjoy shopping for locally made crafts in the quaint atmosphere of small mountain towns.
For guests who bring their dogs there is a neighborhood green space for fetching just 1/2 mile from the house.
The owner, Jeff Schmitz, is a builder and designer. Jeff is an amazing carpenter with a passion for unique, innovative design and an incredible eye for detail. He loves nature---both at the coast and in the mountains. Jeff has poured his heart and soul into making this space an oasis for couples to enjoy. Jeff often travels to the North Carolina coast where he is renovating two historic homes. He enjoys spending time in the mountains with his family while continuing to build in this community.
Jeff purchased this house in the 90's, completed the initial renovation at the turn of the century and completed the massive artistic renovation in February 2019. This is Jeff's second vacation rental rennovation. His first, Beaverdam Valley Escape, VRBO 617005, is a
5-star success!
Jeff was originally drawn to Asheville from the west coast by the relaxed lifestyle and ample access to beautiful mountains and rushing waters. He fell in love with this house and this part of Asheville over 30 years ago. Since then, he has worked to renovate the space into a mountain dream house. It is both private and close to town---the best of both worlds. This is such a wonderful place and he wanted to share it with others as they traveled to the mountains of Western North Carolina. We all work so hard these days and forget how important it is to nurture ourselves and our relationships. This is an amazing, private romantic place that is appealing to adults of all ages.
This bungolow had so much hidden potential when he purchased it many years ago. It was a diamond in the rough. The property has private lay out for being this convenient to town. It's character stood out above all others.

Beautifully maintained cottage

I was fortunate enough to stay in this gorgeous, meticulously maintained cottage for 3 weeks. While it is very close to town, the cottage is in a lovely wooded area on a cut-de-sac. I enjoyed nightly soaks in the very private, immaculate hot tub. The patio area is lovely, and I grilled one night. Tammy and the maintenance guy, Mark, were extremely responsive to my requests. I would definitely choose to stay in this cottage again. Thanks so much, Tammy, for opening your amazing cottage to me and my puppy!

Lovely weekend with our pups!

Clean and comfortable. Such a unique home, from the gorgeous tile in the bathroom to the front sunroom and lovely backyard that the dogs could sniff around. A bit of a drive from downtown but totally worth it for the peace and quiet! Thank you!

Always wonderful!

We’ve stayed at this property three times now and we’ve loved it every time! It’s so close to Asheville (5 mins to a grocery, gas, restaurants, etc) and just 10-15 mins to the river arts district and also right on the edge of the mountains and just 15-20 mins from the Blue Ridge Pkwy. The house also has everything you need for a great getaway with a great kitchen, amazing bathrooms and showers and a perfectly private back patio area with hot tub. We’ll definitely be back for a fourth time!

Oasis in the forest

Perfect location & unique home!

We stayed here to celebrate my birthday and this house made everything so much more enjoyable. The house is stocked with all essentials, it’s very clean and the location is extremely private. Our dog loved laying outside in the shaded backyard area. Beautiful neighborhood & quick 15 mins to downtown activities! Tammy is very responsive and helpful. We will be back!

Awesome property

We really enjoyed staying here. Home is very well kept on inside. Needs some extra attention to outside amenities.... grill had not been cleaned or used in a long time, hot tub jet flow is minimal and IMO needs repair and wasp nests in recessed lighting by door off bedroom. Luckily we did not get stung by any wasp. Pet friendly fenced in property was a win for dogs. Would have really enjoyed the showers more if the water pressure was stronger. Wanted to grill out for 4th of July weekend but could not use grill in condition it was in :(
