Asheville Best Mountain Retreat-5 mi. Downtown! Pet Friendly.Spa

Enjoy mountain living while only 5 miles from downtown Asheville! Located on Elk Mountain Scenic Hwy, a beautiful mountain road leading to the Blue Ridge Pkwy and is a major destination for road cyclists. Only minutes for N. Asheville and downtown.

Elk Mountain Scenic Hwy connects to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our home is only 5-minutes from all of the north Asheville amenities including Fresh Market and Ingles and only 10-minutes from downtown Asheville. It's an incredibly spacious home with 3 levels.

Relax on the deck while catching fire-flies, listening to the cicadas and watching for wildlife sightings - including turkeys and bears!

Over 2500 sq ft of space on close to an acre of land.

Master bedroom/bath with king bed is located on main level and has connecting bathroom with double vanity. The two bedrooms upstairs have queen beds and share a full bathroom, as well as an upstairs den with TV. In the fully finished basement you will find a separate living area with wet bar, dart board, private deck with porch swing, comfy couches and TV with video games and movies. On this level there is a king bedroom with private bath and separate entrance off this room for extra privacy.

The main house and basement have separate AC units to ensure comfort for everyone. We have toys and books for the little ones and a pack and play.

We are dog friendly and require an additional $75 Pet Fee per dog (per stay). Please note, fence around property is not secure or complete.

Hotsprings Hot Tub. $75 Fee applies for use.

Our driveway is pretty steep and a little tricky. It holds 3-4 cars without anyone having to move their car. More cars would require some car shuffling to come and go. In the fall, wet leaves can be slippery on the drive.

In winter months, Asheville has the occasional snow or ice. Our mountain road is normally plowed right away, or melts off quickly, but sometimes it might be later in the day. So if you don't have 4wd it is the perfect opportunity to spend the day making snowmen and sledding!

Recently renovated with all new wood floors throughout home and all new painting. In addition, we have an upgraded kitchen with every amenity imaginable.

The property is exactly as described. Each of the 4 bedrooms comfortable and quiet. Lots of gathering spaces. Well-equipped kitchen for cooks. No need to go out really. Would certainly use again if in the area.

Great Getaway
Our stay was fantastic. The house was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. The layout of the house was great for what we needed. We had a very enjoyable stay. The only “note” we have is in regards to the hot water heater. The hot water did not keep up with all showers being used at one time and took a while to heat back up. BUT the next day we knew this and staggered our showers and had no issues. We would definitely stay again!

Cozy house great for a group
Stayed here with several couples. The place was in a great location with a beautiful view, and close to downtown. Very clean and cozy, with a lot of thoughtful details like extra blankets and hair dryers. Would absolutely come back and stay again!

Perfect retreat for family
This was the perfect house for our family of four couples plus pups! Due to the weather, we only used the living room fireplace which was lovely. We also enjoyed the hot tub. It is an easy drive to downtown Asheville as well.

Great digs for a small group
The house is very accurately described in the VRBO listing. In most respects it turned out better than anticipated. The kitchen was well equipped, there were plenty of towels, glasses, condiments, and so forth. The layout offers privacy with lounge and bedroom space on all three levels. It was very clean and the owner’s handbook was the most thorough we’ve ever seen. This house suited our needs brilliantly.

Fall Foilage
Very nice home. We had 6 adults and it was very comfortable and had more space than we actually used. We were generally out during the day and evening and back at night time. The set up gave each of 3 couples their own floor with bed bath and living (although we congregated on main living floor). Hosts had really thought of everything and can not think of anything we needed. The flashlights were handy at night as it does get quite dark. We did not end up using the hot tub - maybe next time. Views are very nice and very scenic drive up to house. Not far to either town or Blue Ridge Pkwy. Did get to see black bear cross road about a block south of house.

Mountain retreat Asheville
We were a group of 7 adults. The house had plenty of room to accommodate all of us comfortably. The hot tub and fire pit was a great addition for our evening enjoyment. It was well equiped with kitchen essentials. House was close to a food store and about a 10 min drive to the downtown area. We enjoyed our visit very much.
