About this property

Asheville's Best View - Arcade, Sauna, Hot Tub, Theater

Welcome to Skyridge Villa, Asheville's mountaintop luxury vacation home, set at 3500' with sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Built on 9 private acres of beautiful mountain terrain, the 5,000 square foot custom estate has some of the best long-range views in the county, with over 2000 feet of deck space to enjoy, landscaped surroundings, and an abundance of privacy; all while being a short, easy drive from downtown Asheville and local attractions.

*Driving Distance*
11.9 miles to downtown Asheville
8.1 miles to Black Mountain
11.7 miles to Biltmore Estate
9.2 miles to Blue Ridge Parkway Visitors Center
13.7 miles to Adventure Center of Asheville
13.7 miles to Asheville's River Arts District
26 miles to Chimney Rock

Main Level:

As you enter the estate, you walk into a large family living room with a wood-burning fireplace and panoramic mountain views. To your right, is an oversized Chef's kitchen stocked with cookery and cutlery for preparing meals for your group, connected to a large dining room (seating for 14 at the main table, with an optional second table on the southwest corner of the house), with views in all directions.
Also located on the western side of the main floor is a king suite, with a full bath new mattress and bedding, and a private patio door leading out to the upper-level deck. The eastern wing of the main floor has a second king suite, with a large en suite bath, private patio door, flat-screen TV, and an adjoining nursery complete with crib and changing table.

The northeast corner of the main level has the floor's 3rd bedroom, usually the choice of our younger guests. The room has two sets of lodge style, playhouse bunk beds, providing two twin beds and two full beds, as well as a secret passageway (hidden behind a bookcase) leading to a hidden playroom.

Mid-Level:

Continuing downstairs from the living room to the mezzanine level, you'll find 3 of Skyridge Villa's bedrooms as well as two additional baths. This floor also boasts a large arcade/game room area, with panoramic windows overlooking the mountains. The space is equipped with pub table seating, as well as an array of games. Choose from one of our 5 upright arcade machines, the sitting cocktail arcade (with over 1000 classic games), skeeball, foosball, dual pop-a-shot basketball.
The room in the southeast corner of the house has a queen bed, private patio doors, and sweeping mountain views. The room in the northeast corner has a king bed and flat-screen TV. Both rooms share an en suite bath, and an expansive row of closets.

At the center of the second level, just off the game room, is the atheneum suite, an oversized vintage bedroom. The room boasts a private library of classic literature, a wood-burning stove, and an en suite bath. The room is outfitted with a king bed, as well as a loveseat, to relax by the fire and enjoy a book. Also located on the mezzanine level is Skyridge Villa's private cinema, seating 20 in oversized theatre seating on 4 levels, with an 87" inch 4K TV.

Lower Level:

Continuing down the spiral staircase, to the lower level, you'll find the Villa's final bedroom, which has a king bed, private entrance to the house, and access to a full bath right outside the bedroom.

To the west of the lower level, you'll find Skyridge Villa's private spa. Relax in our built-in steam room or sauna, then cool off in the oversized rainfall shower. You'll find plush spa robes and spa towels. We also supply two in-house massage tables... Schedule an appointment with one of our highly recommended area masseuses, and relax without leaving the house!

Outdoor Areas:
As spacious and entertaining as the 5000 square foot interior is, the pinnacle of the Skyridge experience is the expansive outdoor living. The two-level deck has outdoor dining for 16, a gas-burning fire table overlooking the mountains, and an abundance of seating in either the outdoor living area or the rocking chairs. You'll also find both a propane and charcoal grill, as well as a pizza oven, to use during your visit.
Skyridge Villa has an oversized, jacuzzi hot tub that can seat up to 7 and has long-range mountain views from the back deck.

Near the main entrance is our carport converted into an outdoor game room. Completely covered, and partially enclosed, you can still enjoy the mountain air. You'll find the area equipped with a pool table, darts, and ping pong.

To the west of the property, you'll find Skyridge's garden area. As you continue down, walking through the beautifully landscaped garden, past the pond, you will find a custom-built gazebo with mountain views, a short walk from an outdoor seating area.

Access Road:
The road leading to the house is windy and climbs up the mountain (think: best view!). Part of the road is gravel and there are many rough spots. If you are not used to driving in the mountains then it might be kind of an adventure the first time but no one has ever had a problem reaching our house. An AWD/4WD is definitely not necessary unless there is snow on the ground. Please take your time, go slowly and exercise caution.

Snow:
For winter bookings, please be aware that there is a potential of being snowed-in as if there is significant snow on the road, it could become impassable. We do our absolute best to anticipate this and will communicate any potential changes needed for arrival and departure based on the weather. Please understand that this is out of our control and might require some flexibility in your travel arrangements. This is sometimes part of the Asheville winter adventure and safety is a top priority. Thank you!

Amazing views! Perfect for a friend getaway!!
Absolutely stunning views!! The house was perfect for our party of 11 who were celebrating a 50th bday. The game room, comfy living spaces and hot tub was just what we needed for an enjoyable weekend. Spacious kitchen made meals easy to prep/serve. And loved having enough seats to all enjoy meals together at one table. Would definitely stay again!!

Great stay!
We had a great time - plenty of space for everyone and great response from host with any questions. The view is breathtaking. We were fascinated by the frog pond and number of frogs :) Hot tub and game room were great and easy access to some hiking nearby. Overall - great trip!

Spectacular home!
The home was wonderful. Well stocked, fresh linens, super fun amenities and tons of room! Only change we’d make is upgrading the 1 bath tub in the house for bathing children.

Can't beat this place
Me and 11 other guys stayed here for a bachelor party and it was PERFECT! Literally the best rental home I've ever stayed at. This place has everything. A beautiful view of the mountains, some of the best amenities (theater, sauna, arcade games, firepit, etc), comfortable beds, and enough space for everyone. On top of that, the management team was incredible. They were quick to respond to texts, helpful when I had issues, and provided a digital guidebook that was thorough, easy to read, and very useful. And as a little cherry on top, they provided stuff for s'mores and popcorn/candy in the theater. It is a bit off the beaten path, but it's honestly worth it. If I'm ever looking for a place in Asheville again, I'm definitely checking to see if this property is available first.

About the host

Hosted by Arcadian Avenue

Host profile image
We are Arcadian Ave, a collection of incredible homes located in Asheville, Boone, and the Cayman Islands.
We are a small company based in Western North Carolina. Hailing from North Carolina, we started renting out our vacation home in the Cayman Islands and instantly fell in love with hosting and providing great guest experiences. We decided to add another home in Boone, NC, and one in Asheville. We have a passion for fun and amazing amenities so we made a pact to always add as much of the fun stuff to our homes are we can. We renovate our homes to add arcades, movie theaters, saunas, and steam rooms. We found out quickly that our guests love these amenities as much as we do! In addition to the countless amenities you will find at our rental homes, we take pride in our hospitality above all else. From the time you book your stay, until the time you depart, we are here to help in any way we can. -The Arcadian Ave team
