Second stay as great as the first

We loved our first stay. Upgrade to the main bedroom was a plus for this stay. For families with pets, the fenced-in yard is great. For us, the vista is memorable, and so glad the hosts share this house with us.

Awesome mountainside house!

This house had everything, and it was clean and super-comfortable! Upstairs you have a modern kitchen, living room with reclining sofa, bedroom with king bed, walk-in closet with washer and dryer, and bathroom with shower. Downstairs is similar, but with a smaller kitchen and tub/shower. A wrap-around deck provides gorgeous views.

Great Spot to Relax

The property is perfectly located for things to do in the Ashville area. House is really nice and well kept. My amazement of using touch lamps again took me back to when I was a kid. Has a really nice view looking over the valley with a large back porch. Just be prepared for the ride up the side of the mountain to get to the house. I found it to be exciting and really lets you know you are staying in the mountains. You will love this place if you are wondering to book or not.

Our stay was wonderful. The home was clean and very nice. Perfect accomodations for 2 couples with the separate space downstairs. The only thing I would change is more seating space in the living room. Overall 10 out of 10.

Loved our stay at Windy Ridge!

The property and location are just as described and we loved feeling like we were secluded in the woods but close to town and lots of things to do. We went to two breweries, took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, saw several waterfalls. We also enjoyed watching the bears eating acorns while we sat on the deck. It was also a great space for our dog with the fenced yard and decks. Would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area!

Amazing Asheville!

Our stay at High Windy was wonderful! We were in town for a family wedding at the Biltmore and the location was perfect - only about 15 minutes from away. We also have friends in the area and enjoyed the fabulous hiking trails. The road up the the house is very steep and narrow but otherwise we loved the house and would definitely recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Rodney Clark

Host profile image
My wife and I lived nearby in Asheville. We are both geologists. This our second VRBO home that we manage. We find managing vacation rentals is more rewarding financially and personally than our day jobs and hope to someday only manage vacation rentals. We love to hear the reviews and stories of our guests and occasionally get to meet them when something is needed beyond the ordinary.

Why they chose this property


This home has all the convenience of town (less than 10 minutes to downtown), but is tucked away in a forest/ mountain setting just outside the city limits near the Blue Ridge Parkway/MST trail and Warren Wilson Property. The back yard is completely enclosed/fenced in, so you can let the dogs run free, if they are not climbers/jumpers.

What makes this property unique

I think the main features are the home is newer, has convenience of town (less than 10 minutes to downtown), but is secluded in a forest/ mountain setting. We are close to Warren Wilson trails and I hope to someday connect the rental with the trails of Warren Wilson.
