About this property

Enchanting, Family-Friendly, Outdoor Activities, Fire Pit, Indoor Slide

Privacy in a natural setting and an almost-new custom green-built home nestled one mile from Warren-Wilson College’s hiking trails. 11 miles to Asheville or Black Mountain.

This mountain sanctuary will soothe your mind, body, heart, and spirit. Sip your morning tea or coffee on the deck overlooking century-old red and white oak trees.
Lounge on the double porch swing or rinse off in the outdoor shower while enjoying the beautiful mountain views.

The chef’s kitchen has gorgeous forest views, lots of counter space, a 4-burner gas oven, two dishwashers, a large refrigerator/freezer, toaster, coffee maker, and a microwave.

There are 4 bedrooms ( 3 roomy and 1 cozy ) and 4 bathrooms (one is a half bath).
The house offers one king, two queens and two twins (as a bunk bed).

The master bedroom with a king bed will pamper you with its steel canopy bed and soaking tub accented with a picture window.
Built-in steel bunk beds are a treat for the kids along with the fairy door and indoor slide that delivers passengers into the dining room. The third floor offers a queen-sized bed in a spacious room. This bedroom offers gorgeous views from its large circular window and has a half bath.

The revolving bookcase in the living room opens to an office with a queen sized bed. The office also has a television that plays DVDs. Wi-Fi is available but there is no cable.

The house has A/C and heat, in addition to radiant floors.
**There are 4 mini split units, and they MUST be set within 5 degrees of one another**
Severe damage can happen to the units if they are set more than 5 degrees from one another.

Full kitchen, fridge and freezer, washer and dryer, coffee maker, television ( no cable) & wi-fi.


⭐️⭐️Please note that the driveway is 1/10 of a mile up a steep gravel hill. I will send you a video of it before you arrive.

No passenger vans, U-Hauls, or similar-sized vehicles
( It will mess up the driveway).

If you have experience driving your minivan up steep gravel hills, you can bring a minivan. If you are from a flat area like Florida and are not experienced with gravel hills, please do not bring or rent a minivan.

Honda minivans struggle with the driveway, and it is the one vehicle I would not recommend bringing unless you are confident with your minivan on steep gravel roads. Honda does advertise their minivan as fully capable of driving on mountain roads; however, I have found that some guests struggle with the driveway.

Bachelorette camp weekend
The property and house were lovely, great views of the mountains and the outside porch was a favorite. There was ample space. Be sure to read the description thoroughly! We rented a mini van and thankfully we had minimal issues with the steep driveway, but smaller cars would likely be a better choice if you get a rental car. If driving in a mountainous area is a concern for you, maybe choose elsewhere. We were able to get Ubers to the bottom of the hill and walk up (when not wanting to drive). Communication with the host was clear, friendly and accessible. Location felt very accessible to downtown. We enjoyed our stay here!

Pleasant stay, as described
Our group had an overall good experience. There were 6 of us (3 couples). Looking at the listing, the home is exactly as described. It really is a quiet cabin completely secluded, with a fun quirkiness that would be great for kids. It's about a 20 minutes drive to downtown. For our personal preference, we didn't love that the home had almost no curtains. Despite it being secluded, we really felt it lacked privacy. Additionally, I don't know that the stay would be ideal for couples. Most doors don't lock, and the home has multiple pathways to each room leaving very little privacy. Again, the home is exactly as described! This is something we didn't realize when booking and that is on us. The host was fantastic. She made the stay feel very personal and was always quickly available for any concerns. I would recommend this as a wonderful place to stay for a family with kids, looking for a lovely cabin style home with great views!

About the host

Hosted by Julia Considine

Host profile image
I am a native North Carolinian who is nourished by the natural beauty of the outdoors. This home is embraced by the lovely flora and fauna of the land and offers deep serenity to its guests.
I enjoy gathering fantastic fresh food from Asheville's farmer's markets and preparing delicious healthy meals for my family. I also love jogging and practicing yoga.

Why they chose this property

I have resided in the gorgeous mountains of North Carolina for the majority of my life and am grateful to call this part of the country home.
I tended to the flower gardens and the forest on this property for nearly a decade before turning it into a vacation rental for others to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

This unique green built home is nested in the beautiful and peaceful Blue Ridge Mountains just 11 miles outside of Asheville, North Carolina. You will be inspired by the beauty of the home and the serenity of the surrounding forest. Kids of all ages will enjoy the playhouse in the trees and picking blueberries (in season). The indoor slide is something you have to try out, whether you are young or just young at heart! After you have returned from your day of exploration in the out of doors, the outdoor shower and sunset on the deck will settle you in for an evening of good food and family/friends and love.
