About the host
Hosted by Stephen Friedlander
We're Steve and Stephanie, and we love hosting families, friends, and retreat groups. For us, a great stay is in the details, so we personally design and stock each of our homes to feel comfortable and a little special, from the fully equipped kitchens to the robes in every room.
As hosts, we focus on clear communication and quick, helpful responses, so every stay feels seamless from arrival to departure. Asheville is one of our favorite places for its scenery, food, and outdoor adventures, and we're always glad to share local recommendations to help your group make the most of the trip.
Why they chose this property
Tucked into a quiet, private setting just outside Asheville, the home feels removed from the bustle while still being close to everything. Mornings are made for coffee on the deck in the mountain calm, and evenings turn quiet and star-filled.
What we love most is the balance. Easy access to hiking, downtown dining, and local breweries, paired with the kind of tranquility that makes it easy to truly unwind and reconnect.
What makes this property unique
Plenty of Asheville homes say they sleep 20. Few do it this comfortably. Azure Haze Retreat has 8 private bedrooms, 7 of them with king beds, so most of your group gets a real room and a real bed instead of an air mattress in the living room.
What makes it rare is everything packed under one roof: a resort backyard with a pool, hot tub, and barrel sauna, plus a theater, game room, extra rec room, fitness studio, and a private elevator. Most big homes have a few of these. This one has them all, in a private setting just 15 minutes from downtown. Room to spread out, plenty to do, and space for everyone to come together.
ACCESSIBILITY AND MOBILITY
Azure Haze Retreat includes a private residential elevator connecting the main living levels. The home is not ADA certified, but the elevator and open layout are a real help for:
- Multi-generational families - Guests who prefer to avoid stairs - Moving luggage and groceries between floors
Some outdoor areas and a few thresholds still have steps. If anyone in your group has specific accessibility needs, reach out before booking and we'll confirm it's a good fit.
