Relax on the rocking chair front porch at Castlewood Retreat and gaze out at a breathtaking Blue Ridge view every day of your vacation. This two-story home seamlessly combines the allure of the countryside with the comfort of a convenient neighborhood, offering year-round, long-range mountain vistas that captivate.

Bright and cheerfully decorated, the open-concept living area is a perfect spot to watch a movie, enjoy the warmth of the gas fireplace, and soak in the horizon's mountain views. The fully-equipped modern kitchen makes cooking a delight, featuring bar seating and a breakfast table for quick meals, while a window-encased dining room provides an elegant setting for special occasions. The main level primary suite invites you to step onto the porch each morning to embrace the view or start your day with a relaxing soak in the jetted tub.

After a day of exploring, retreat to the comfort of the three upper-level bedrooms, each with its own TV. A second living area on the upper level offers space to spread out, complete with a foosball table for some friendly competition. In the evening, gather around the fire pit in the backyard for quality time, or enjoy a scenic stroll down the neighborhood road. With these numerous ways to unwind, Castlewood Retreat is a WNC vacation home the whole family will love. This Asheville vacation rental is located in Weaverville and is approximately 17 minutes to downtown Asheville.

Family Christmas gift

This was a Christmas gift to my adult children and their partners. We had such a good time we will do another family trip next year. It is a gift when your children still enjoy vacationing together.

Spacious and 4 King Beds!

This was a really nice rental that had everything we needed. It was a few minutes north of Asheville and had beautiful views. We loved that there was plenty of space for everyone and that there were 4 king beds, so none of the couples had to fight over space.
