Looking for a place that you can go to and get away from it all or maybe a place where your family can “reconnect”? Look no further, you have found just the place. Our home is located in Leicester, just a short 20 minute drive to Asheville (and no scary roads). We have a saying, "Close enough to Asheville to enjoy; and far enough away from Asheville to enjoy!
Come enjoy the spectacular views of rolling knolls and picturesque mountains (70 miles view). Enjoy the quiet of the country where wildlife and wildflowers abound. We have turkey, deer, rabbits and an occasional bear show up on our driveway cam.
The home is situated on 6+ acres, has over 3000 square feet of living space and is tastefully decorated. Dogs are allowed with a 2 dog limit. There is a large dog run in the yard plus dog kennels in the garage for when you are not on the premise (if your pet has separation anxiety).
The front porch has two porch swings to enjoy in the morning or the evening, when the fireflies put on their light show. There is a wraparound deck off of the main floor with storybook views to enjoy. There is a large fire pit area also.
The main floor has a large kitchen, perfect for a large get together, a breakfast nook, dining area, living room (wood burning fireplace), and the primary bedroom. There is a covered screened in porch off of the living room and primary bedroom. Did we mention the wonderful views from the over-sized windows?
The master bedroom has a king size bed. The master bathroom has a large tub and a walk-in shower.
The bottom floor has a professional size Brunswick pool table and a game table to relax with family and friends. There is a large cement patio where you can enjoy the rocking chairs and a good book.

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Barco
Once you walk onto the property you will feel your troubles melting away. It is like being in your own little piece of Heaven. That is why we decided to rent the home to vacationers that really just want to get away from it all and spend time with the family or just alone with your thoughts.
Why they chose this property
We always seemed to find our way to the Carolina Mountains whenever we went on vacation, so when we started looking for a place to go for our 30th anniversary it was no surprise where we headed. We found this beautiful lot and decided to build a place where our family could reconnect and get away from the crazy everyday life.
What makes this property unique
We love going to the house to recharge our batteries. It is a wonderful place to relax.
