At 2,600 sq ft. the rooms are spacious and warm.

This property was clean and fairly close to downtown. It is a bit dated and can use some remodeling in kitchen and baths. Bedrooms are very spacious. We stayed for a girls weekend and it was enjoyable, especially like the front porch, deck and fire pit.

Exceptional stay. Extremely cozy.

This property was warm and inviting. Plenty of cookware in the kitchen to make amazing meals. The wood burning fireplace really enhanced our experience with our family for the holidays. The location is close to downtown. Our whole family adored this property and would highly recommend the property and Monica is very accommodating.

Location is key!!

My family of 6 enjoyed this home's front patio immensely. It's vista goes perfectly with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. House is nearby all the attractions yet it feels away from everything.

Loved the Mountain Home!

We absolutely loved the property! Monica was very accessible and accommodating. The front covered porch (so cozy for coffee or late night drinks) the back covered porch (darts and ping pong), the hot tub (anytime) and the overall character of the home were all excellent. Really enjoyed Ashville and hiking the Great Smoky Mountains. Great way to spend our 25th wedding anniversary with our kids! Thanks Monica!

Perfect Asheville weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We were less than ten minutes to downtown and within an hour or less of plenty of hiking and golf courses. The only hard thing was getting ourselves to leave the property when it was so welcoming. There was plenty of space for us all to be comfortable and the house was stocked with games and firewood. The front porch was our favorite breakfast spot and we were lucky enough to see a black bear wander by one morning.

Great gathering space

Thank you Monica for sharing your home with me and my 3 friends. It was the perfect place for spending time together, cooking dinner, playing games and sitting by the fire while also having rooms of our own for quiet time. The porch was the best gift for our morning coffee. Great to feel the warm sun on out faces. The location was great! Close to town and to mountains. Uber was perfect for our nights in town catching concerts at the Salvage Station and Orange Peel. Thanks bunches. Deb Vermont.

Perfect in Every Way!

Monica's house was perfect for our group of 9 adult women celebrating a bride-to-be and reconnecting. All the living areas were very spacious, both inside and out. We cooked a bit, relaxed in the hot tub, sat out front on the comfortable furniture wrapped in the warmest blankets enjoying the mountain forest views... We hoped to see a bear but did not. I guess we'll have to come back when it's warmer! Uber rides to downtown were easy to get and only $7. The location of this house is SO good. Steep driveway but we enjoyed the exercise. And the host, Monica, was very responsive by phone/text. I could not recommend this house more.

Truly a perfect house to stay in if you want the joy of sitting on a porch with morning coffee and looking at the mountains while also being 6 min from downtown Asheville! We couldn't believe how close all the breweries were and how easy everything was. Extremely comfortable beds and so much space - we loved our stay and would absolutely come again!

About the host

Hosted by Monica Tilhou

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Monica and thank you for reading about my precious property!

I grew up north of Chicago and relocated to this vibrant city in 2010. I bought this home and have been enjoying the process of continually transforming it into a real beauty! Throughout the remodeling process, I’ve been able to decorate it as a very appealing and highly satisfying home.

My life's work/project- my 3 wonderful adult kids and 5 grandkids- were the inspiration for this remodeling project! Because I want to keep them visiting me here, I had the incentive to make this a warm, yet somewhat “luxurious” mountain retreat!

I travel occasionally but will usually be here in town at a nearby home during your stay. It's always a pleasure to greet guests and welcome them to my home, so I look forward to meeting you and showing you around the house and grounds personally- it would be my pleasure!

I truly hope you enjoy your stay- your days and nights (on the front porch with a fire!?) while you're here in lovely Asheville!

Why they chose this property

As I searched for a home close to town to purchase, I was drawn immediately to this lovely, picturesque spot overlooking a pond and facing an evergreen mountain that fills the view! I knew I had to live here!

So, after purchasing it in the Spring of 2013, I undertook dramatic renovations which have brought great response and delight to family and visitors alike. It's been great fun!

I'm proud of the place and pleased to offer a home of this caliber so close to town... 5 minutes! Great views, large front porch, back “games” porch, gourmet kitchen, 6-7 person new hot tub and a secluded front and backyard.

Also, if you are arriving from several directions, easy parking for up to four cars is available at the house with a seperate turnaround green space.

What makes this property unique

This home is perfect for a family get-together out in the woods w/ a terrific view

While enjoying the Living Room, relax on the long leather sofa with extra seating. The room features a candelabra, a mountain-view and often a roaring fireplace!
Piano in the dining room for music lovers~
Great neighborhood for walking, too! Three laps around the pond below is about a mile!

A slow, one-way path around this pond takes you through our quiet, little neighborhood.
Please observe a 10pm curfew on loud,outdoor gatherings. Revelry on the front porch or up in the acres of woods above carries an echo "heard all 'round the pond!". So do, please, respect this curfew each evening. Thanks so much!
