About this property
Your mountain city escape just minutes from downtown Asheville and the Parkway
The Blue Ember Ridge House is a peaceful 3BR, 2.5+BA mountain city escape … perfect for families, girls’ weekends, and couples’ groups seeking unforgettable views and cozy gathering spaces.
Sip the included drip coffee from the porch rocking chairs as the fog lifts off the ridges or settle in at sunset with a glass of wine as the sky blazes pink over the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Best Seat in Asheville: Your Front Porch
The moment you step onto the porch, you’ll understand why guests fall in love with this home.
Panoramic mountain views, the soft sounds of morning birdsong, and golden sunrise skies create the perfect start to any day. It’s peaceful, magical, and the highlight of every stay.
A Home Designed for Connection
Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook, gather, and entertain after a day of exploring Western NC.
Whether you’re preparing a cozy family meal or sharing charcuterie and laughter during a girls’ weekend, the space is designed to bring people together.
Adventure is always close by:
• Minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway (hikes, overlooks, waterfalls)
• Quick Uber ride to downtown Asheville (shops, restaurants, nightlife)
• Breweries within 10 minutes … perfect for couples or group outings
Relax, Reset & Recharge
Return home to:
• Spotless spaces
• Soft towels & hot showers
• Smart TVs for winding down
• Lightning-fast WiFi for work or streaming
• Board games for family time and rainy day fun
End your evening with a complimentary bottle of wine on the porch under the stars or backyard pergola.
Beautiful Bedrooms for Everyone
• Primary Suite
King bed + spacious ensuite with double vanity
• Queen Room
Charming, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated
• Show Stopping Bunk Room
Our third bedroom is a true standout. Featuring queen over queen bunk beds, soft bedding, warm bear themed touches, and a hidden reading nook designed for quiet escapes, this space delights guests of every age. Whether used as a kids’ hangout or a comfortable option for additional adults during a girls’ weekend or couples’ trip, it’s as functional as it is unforgettable.
Easy Contact-Free Check-In
You’ll receive a unique smart-lock code for seamless entry.
Guests have full access to the entire home.
For safety, the property includes a front Ring doorbell camera and one exterior Ring solar camera to monitor the driveway.
