About this property

Mountain Getaway - 10 minutes from Biltmore Estate and Downtown Asheville

Located in Asheville, NC - your next getaway is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home - with plenty of space. Ten minutes from downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, and just 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this home has lots of privacy yet the trip to town is super easy and quick. The short drive from town up to the house is Uber accessible and the perfect introduction to mountaintop living.

Want to wake up to some mountain magic? Along with a queen size bed and full private bath, the queen bedroom has a picture window to soak up the view of trees and sky as they extend towards the horizon. Also wonderful for viewing the stars at night as you go to sleep. The 2nd upstairs bedroom has a full bed and the 3rd bedroom has two twin beds. Each room is equipped with reading lamps and ceiling fans. A queen-size sleeper sofa is in the living room with extra sheets and blankets.

The well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar has pots, pans, dishes, glasses, mugs, utensils, standard auto-drip coffee pot, toaster, fridge/freezer, oven/stove and opens into the dining room full of natural light.

Smart TV, DVD player and Wi-Fi are available along with an assortment of DVDs and other games.

The downstairs portion of Avondale Mountain offers 2 additional bedrooms each with a full size bed. A ping pong table, dining/card table, full bathroom and Keurig coffee maker station are provided for your enjoyment and convenience.

Enjoy the privacy of a large, backyard while playing in your very own mountain top 'playground’ complete with swing set. In summer months our garden can provide salad veggies, aromatic herbs and delicious berries. We also have a gas grill and smokeless fire-pit for our guests to enjoy.

Our house is in the mountains, surrounded by forest, in one of the most biodiverse regions of the planet. Bugs and bears are part of nature. We do our best to live with them in harmony and appreciation.

Many adventures await you in Asheville, North Carolina.

Highly recommend if you want a private retreat for your family to relax. The property was exactly as pictured in the listing. The kitchen and eating area are huge and had everything we needed to prepare meals and play games. The living area was comfortable with a smart tv. All the bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. We appreciated having space for everyone in our family to do their own thing. The host was very responsive, without being over-bearing. The property itself was large. We visited over the winter so we didn’t spend much time outside. It would be lovely in other seasons.

Great stay close to Biltmore

My family attended an event at the Biltmore and this house was the perfect place to house all 8 of us for our NC visit. Spacious house for a group. Although we didn't spend a ton of time at the house due to being at events, I know that it would be the perfect place to just hang out with family and friends.

About the host

Host profile image

Our family enjoyed living in this home for 5 years before deciding to move into town. Karen has 2 daughters, works as a registered nurse, loves bike riding and fostering animals.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Avondale Mountain because of its natural scenery, peaceful atmosphere and it's surprisingly close to downtown. Being able to walk to Shoji isn't too bad either!
