About this house rental

Nestled in Swannanoa, this charming house for $339 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. 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. 15-MINUTE DRIVE to Town Hardware & Gen. Store (not to be missed) Dobra Tea and Black Mtn. Yoga, Library, banks, gift nooks with handmade jewelry and art, ice cream, fresh fudge, homemade cupcakes, unbelievable kitchen store 10-MINUTE DRIVE to LEAF Festival (Lake Eden Arts) Lake Eden SE Women's Herbal Conference Blue Ridge Parkway Appalachian Trail Montreat Conference Center and Campground Biking and hiking trail/ Point Lookout Greenway Trail Warren Wilson College Swannanoa TEN MINUTE DRIVE to Awesome Asheville, the coolest walkable town on the East Coast Biltmore House tourist attraction

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!

We enjoyed our stay at this enchanting, unique home. The home had plenty of room and was very clean. It’s close proximity to Biltmore and downtown Asheville. Julia was a very accommodating host.

This was our first trip to Asheville, so it was hard picking a place close to the things we wanted to do. This location is a bit out of the way you have to drive in order to do anything. You must pay attention to the host directions on how to get to the house and like she said, try to arrive during the daylight. That is key, I’m not sure we would’ve been able to get to the house had we arrived at night the first time. The house itself was great, the kids loved the slide. The kids room was wonderful for the cousins and there were even some toys provided. The king master shower was absolutely covered in mold! Every tile had mold on it. It was hard to shower without touching the tile. That would really be my only complaint .

We had an amazing long weekend here. The views were amazing, and the fall weather certainly helped! It was great being so close to downtown Asheville and all that it has to offer. The fire pit was used every night, and the slide was a hit with the toddler! It’s a great house for a family get away or a gathering of friends. The house was very clean, the kitchen had all necessities, and there was ample seating throughout the house. The driveway is a little tricky, but if you go slow and steady you will be fine! We will definitely be looking to come back next time we’re planning a trip to Asheville.

Great spot for friends to catch up. The revolving book case and indoor slide were definite highlights.

This house was adorable!! Nestled literally amongst the treetops, it provided a perfect place to regroup after long days. Each room had handcrafted trim, doors, and paneling and even some hide-away drawers. My girls loved exploring and especially loved the slide. I mean, how could you not?! The driveway was a little steeper than I had anticipated, so it would be a great idea to get there in the daylight to avoid any confusion. However, the video supplied by the homeowner was very helpful finding the right house. Thanks again for a great weekend!

As warned, the drive up the mountain was challenging but I just put the car in 2nd and gunned it. One of the Uber drivers, though, picked up one group for the airport and refused to drive up the last 2 hills - made the girls drag their suitcases down to them! The house worked perfectly for us. Very comfortable. We had a fire outside on 2 of the nights which was just wonderful. Visited the art district one day, downtown the next. Pretty perfect.
