About

If you’re looking for a pit stop around Asheville for your road trip along Blue Ridge Parkway, this is a perfect place for you. From this place, you’re: - 8 miles (17 min) from Blue Ridge Parkway - 14 miles (22 min) from West Asheville - 18 miles (23 min) from downtown Asheville This area offers plenty of activities: hiking, fruit picking, horseback riding, eating out or shopping in downtown Asheville or West Asheville, botanical gardens, River Arts District, chocolate factory tour and more.

Good to know

This is a two story house with master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and living room upstairs with a wraparound deck. The kitchen is pretty well stocked and should be sufficient for cooking delicious meals yourself, but please be sure to read our digital guidebook after booking, to see what items are provided. A supermarket (Ingles Markets) is 15-min drive away. Please note that there is no mobile reception in this neighborhood. So you most likely have difficulty in making/receiving calls or sending/receiving texts or one of Maps apps for navigation. Although we offer Wi-Fi on our property, it is asymmetric (500Mbps down/35Mbps up). If you plan to work using zoom heavily, this may not be an ideal property due to limited upstream bandwidth. In warmer months, you might see some cute creatures out of the window. From time to time, we encountered visitors such as various kinds of birds big and small in our yard and a squirrel and a deer on the hill outside the kitchen. Also, there are bears in the mountains. If you’re from a city, this can be quite a change of scenery! Out of 3 bedrooms, we currently offer only 1 (master) bedroom upstairs to our guests (until we complete renovation on other bedrooms downstairs). This is a non-smoking property. We would like every single guest to enjoy fresh air anywhere within the property (not just in the house). If you smoke (cigarettes or 420), please book elsewhere.

Other Details to Note

No Pets This is a no pet property. One of the hosts, Yoko, is allergic. Security Cameras In order to maintain security of our guests and the property, this house is equipped with six exterior security cameras covering points of entry. The cameras are on the EXTERIOR ONLY, and there are no cameras on the inside.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

This property is on a road between two ridges in the mountain. It's nice and quiet but this also comes with a couple of caveats. Mobile reception is limited, I mean very limited. Most likely, texts/calls won't work, which includes Two-Factor Authentication code from various online services you use (from banking to social media) until you drive 5 to 10 minutes to an area with mobile reception. Wi-Fi is available on the property. Some people in this neighborhood hunt deer, bears, rabbits and other animals. So you might hear hunters' gunshots afar if you stay at the property during the hunting season (October to December).

Guest Access

Guests have full access to the entire property (except for the bedrooms and bathroom in the basement that are locked for now). We’re just starting out and can’t afford to rehab and furnish every room all at once.

The house was perfect for us. We came on our anniversary trip. It was just like the pictures. Secluded but not too far away from anything we wanted to do. The scenery was breathtaking.

The place was a quick drive to downtown Asheville. The house was beautiful and was tucked away in the mountains. It is perfect if you are looking explore Asheville but still experience the mountains. We would stay again!

Find us

You will need a car but it doesn't have to be a 4-wheel drive. A regular vehicle (e.g. compact, intermediate, or standard from a rental car company) will suffice unless it snows. Since mobile service is spotty or non-existent around the property, we recommend guests download maps data they need for navigation (e.g. Asheville and surrounding area) onto their phone prior to arrival for offline map feature.
