About this property

Gorgeous Mountain Views on 5 Acres


Free Biltmore Estate ticket June 1-7. Come to Clubb Mountain Retreat and enjoy a relaxing vacation in this beautiful home with views from every window. The house is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains at 2900 feet elevation on a 5 acre tract within a small mountain community containing only 8 houses on 70 acres. Privacy abounds and so does the wildlife. Tripod, only 3 legs, is our resident bear and seen quite often. Our location is less than 10 miles from the Biltmore Estate, entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Black Mountain and Downtown Asheville. The Ingles grocery store is 2 miles away.

The home has 2 master bedroom suites, each with king bed, walk-in closet, ceramic walk-in shower, make-up table and double vanities. Each suite has direct access to a deck with outstanding short and long range views as far as 40 miles on a clear day including Mt. Pisgah and Cold Mountain. Enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast on the main covered porch and your evenings watching a magnificent sunset with 180 degree views. There is a gas fire pit to enjoy once the sun goes down and the cool mountain air moves in. The main living area has an open concept design with 19 foot ceilings, 1/2 bath and a gas fireplace (seasonal) with remote control.

Enjoy a relaxing stay on the property or drive just 12 miles to downtown Asheville and enjoy shopping and restaurants in the 'Paris of the South'. Asheville has a vibrant arts culture and a booming craft beer industry. If a small town atmosphere is your desire, the quaint town of Black Mountain is just 9 miles in the other direction with eclectic shops and cafes. Spend a day at the Biltmore Estate or go hiking on any of the miles of trails just minutes away. Want to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway? An entrance is just 10 minutes away. The new Asheville Outlets are 17 miles away. Popular day trips are to Lake Lure/Chimney Rock (28 miles) and Waynesville (30 miles).

Our house has beds to accommodate 4 adults. With advance notice we can arrange for a pack and play and high chair.

The property is very convenient to the simple amenities with Ingles Grocery store, Papa Johns, Ace Hardware, etc. less than 8 minutes away.

We can help you out with discount (10%) Biltmore Estate tickets if this is on your itinerary. We also have one free Biltmore House and Grounds ticket available if you book staying from now through March 31. A required rental agreement will be provided via SignNow and must be signed within 1 week to finalize your booking. Please notify the owner for prior approval before booking more than 2 weeks consecutive stay.

Inclement Weather:
We are at the top of a ridge on Watch Knob and the view is worth the drive up. Our subdivision roads are private, gravel and well maintained. Our driveway is gravel with the final stretch paved concrete due to the incline. You normally will not need a four wheel drive vehicle. We reserve the right to cancel bookings if we feel that it is unsafe for travelers to attempt to get to our property due to inclement weather. We will make sure you get a full refund in these circumstances. We are sorry if this causes an inconvenience to our renters but we value your safety and our potential liability.

Recommended by the Insurance Co; we have recently added 4 ARLO cameras to monitor winter driveway conditions and security during vacancy. These are exterior cameras only and there is no interior monitoring onsite. Our property has a lower level living area that is reserved for family only and is never occupied when the main level is rented.

This was probably the most beautiful cabin I have stayed at with the best views of any I have stayed at. The views from the deck were amazing and rather than looking at 100 other cabins with your view, this view is just of the mountains with barely any other homes visible (you have to look pretty hard to find them). The cabin is not packed in with a bunch of others like you find at many other locations in the Smokies.The layout of the cabin is awesome if it is just you and another couple because there are 2 private master sweets set up the same, both with access to the deck. You can even take advantage of the garage if you want to park out of the weather.The driveway, like many in the mountains, is very tight and steep. Had I brought my crew cab truck, it would have been extremely difficult to get turned around, but it wasn't an issue with the car I brought. The cabin is on a dirt road and it was very dry when we were there so it was dusty. Unfortunately there is one neighbor who apparently thinks he owns the public road and calls and complains to the owners even when you are going 5 mph under the posted 15 mph speed limit claiming you are still going to fast. Aside form taking a text from the owners about him complaining, I just ignored him. The cabin isn't near his place anyway.If I am back in the area, I will definitely be staying here again. Every night we stayed on the deck playing games and watching the sun set over the mountain. Absolutely beautiful!

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Kimberly Barham

Host profile image
Kim and Rick Barham. The home was custom built for us in 2016. We camped all over the North Carolina mountains when our children were small and have always said that it is the only place we visited that we didn’t want to leave.

Why they chose this property

It is very private and relaxing here but only minutes from all the amenities of Asheville and the surrounding area. Only 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway/Black Mountain, and 20 minutes to Downtown Asheville.
Lake Lure/Chimney Rock and Waynesville are great day trips.

What makes this property unique

During the “dog days” of summer, the higher elevations provide a relief from the heat and humidity that can be so enjoyable, the October leaves are breathtaking and a picnic lunch on the Blue Ridge parkway is just a gift to us. There are an abundance of hiking trails and waterfalls nearby.
