The Watts are wonderful hosts. The house is very inviting for a larger group -- three bedrooms and three baths, lovely siting area and incredible outdoor deck and million views. Kitchen cooking area is a bit cramped but it has all that you need.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Watts

Host profile image
When we are not working and running our gourmet sauce and seasoning company, we enjoy all of the local karma, great music, best eateries, shopping and mountain activities only the WNC and Asheville can offer. Just like most other people, we love the fresh air and quite setting in the Smoky Mountain-Forest surroundings. With all the many things to do in our town, there is never a dull moment.

Why they chose this property

Asheville Clouding Around has been in the family for three generations. It is a really great house with a $M view. It is such a wonderful neighborhood which is extremely close to downtown as well as 15 minutes from the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway. With all the beautiful colored flowers, lush greenery and blue skies, it is almost heaven,

What makes this property unique

The view of the mountains and the Asheville valley is second to none. It is breath taking! Along with a 75 mile view, the wild life and fresh air is expected while in the forest setting. The road is a popular route for hikers, bikers and dog walkers. We even have a dog watering station by the mailbox for our four legged friends.
