About this property

The Snookmore ~ Front Porch Rockin' Views

The Snookmore is perfectly located just 3 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and 8 miles from downtown Asheville. Just hop on the Parkway and have the Appalachian wilderness at your beck and call or mosey on down to the hottest town the South has to offer.

This is one of four rental units in Snookville along with the Snookery (house, sleeps 12), the Snook Nook (apartment, sleeps 2), and the Snookstream (glamping, sleeps 2 - coming soon). The Snookery is also on VRBO (vrbo/1185282) and the Snook Nook. For reviews of us as hosts, please look up.

Nestled in the southern tip of Snookville, the Snookmore is designed for front porch rocking. With the Blue Ridge Mountains peaking through the treetops and the community garden just a stone's throw away, all you'll need is a iced beverage of your choosing and life will slow right on down.

The house itself is both cozy and has room to spread out. Newly constructed in 2107, it has a fully equipped kitchen for the gourmet chef, the option of a Keurig, Coffee maker or hot tea pot for the morning haze, and both a dining room and back porch dining table for any meal setting you please. Also on the back porch you'll find a grill for the vacation cookout and a hot tub for the end of the day wind down. Up on the second floor, there's another porch off both bedrooms that's nestled into the Carolina woods. Down on the ground level, there's room to relax and play with a carved out nook for darts as well as a foosball table and big screen TV. With Roku installed and free Netflix, it's perfect for that rainy day movie. For the clear night, there's a fire pit with plenty of firewood and there's nothing better than a good s'mores cooked in the flames. Top all that off with brand new mattresses and plentiful pillows to lay your head, and you've got the perfect home base for your Appalachian adventure. The only trick will be leaving the Snookmore!

SNOWCATION!!!

At the last minute we decided to come to the mountains to hopefully enjoy some snow and did we hit the jackpot! Not only did it snow but this home is one of the most beautiful properties I have stayed at in the NC mountains and we visit this area several time a year. The home had everything we needed plus so much more! The hot tub was a huge bonus in addition to the climbing club house for the kids to play on. My kids had a blast here and bc the home is big we had way more then enough room to spreed out and enjoy just being snowed in for a long weekend. The owner was great and made sure we knew he was available if anything came up which was super awesome since we were there during a winter storm. He even plowed the driveway and road up to the house!!! He also worked with us at check out time since we were unable to leave on time due to icy roads We can’t wait to come back again when its warmer so we can enjoy all the hiking and breweries near by.

Perfect Family Retreat

Not only was the house stunning, but we enjoyed the game room, and spa. The fire pit was very nice but we enjoyed gathering on the oversized front porch. We also appreciated the nice extras— coffee and sample beers. We could not have asked for more!

Great Family Vacation House

The property was just as described and very well-appointed. We especially enjoyed the beverages provided by the host in the fridge and a couple visits from Cash the dog! It was an easy drive to all town and other sites but secluded in the beautiful mountains. We loved the hot tub! Thank you Snooks

Wonderful wedding weekend!

This house was AMAZING! We booked this house for me and my family during our wedding weekend and I would do it over again in a heartbeat. Aaron was great with communication, and every interaction with him was pleasant. The house was awesome and had tons of space for our family to spread out and have their own space. The bathrooms were immaculate and it was perfect for getting ready for the big wedding day. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. On top of all of this, we loved their pup, Cash - he would come visit us each morning on the porch and was perfectly trained not to come inside (amazing!) We loved our stay and have already booked again for our larger wedding celebration next year - highly recommend!

Great Mountain Escape

We loved our stay and the house was exactly what we were looking for. We were able to work/school remotely during COVID, and also enjoy all that Asheville and the Blue Ridge have to offer. The house is clean and pleasant, and a perfect secluded location in the woods. Owner was very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!!

Perfect Balance between city & mountains

We loved our stay in this house! It is truly the perfect balance between a mountain getaway and staying close to the city. You are never more than 20 minutes away from anything Asheville has to offer, but feel secluded up in the mountains. The house is immaculately clean and extremely well stocked. They supply everything you could ever think to need or want. The host is extremely responsive and the home feels very safe. We will be back!

Family Stay in the Mountains

Our family experience in Snookville was outstanding! The house was perfect. My two daughters, their families along with my 4 grandkids all stayed there. It was most accommodating for everyone. It was a great location with close proximity to Ashville and gave a great base to experience everything the area has to offer. We had a wonderful time and will return!

Beautiful Place

This house is gorgeous and they have honestly thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The pictures are spot on. We loved the hot tub and the gorgeous view from the front porch. It’s a spacious house & would be a great place for multiple couples but would not feel crowded (1 group upstairs, 1 main floor and 1 in downstairs). The house is off the beaten path a bit - but not too far where things are inconvenient. There is a grocery store and some restaurants about 5-7 minutes away. Downtown Asheville was about 18 min away. We were so happy with our stay. Aaron was very responsive. Highly recommend!

Family Wedding Weekend!

We were in town for our daughter's wedding with the entire family...total of 3 couples, and 4 kids ranging from 4 months to 12 years. This property was the definition of perfect! Absolutely everything was thoughtfully provided...highchair, baby gates, coffee pods/tea, games, firewood...the list goes on and on. We loved the firepit and the front porch rocking chairs. Plus the house has wonderful touches like built in nightlights in the bathrooms, huge closets (one of which acted as a bedroom for one of our grandkids) and the bathtubs are super deep and luxurious. The kitchen was great for multiple people working at once and the dining table is enormous when opened out all the way. The laundry is stocked with everything you need. Seriously, the owners thought of EVERYTHING! I can't recommend this property more if you have a large gathering in Asheville!

Wonderful Experience at Snookville!

My family and I had a simply wonderful time at this property. The host was very accommodating and communicative. The house was beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. The space also allowed us to have a Chef come in and prepare an exceptional five course meal that was so special! The house had everything we needed and my grandchildren announced on the day we were leaving that they “never wanted to leave this place”. We saw a mother bear and her cub that passed by the front porch and we were all so excited! And, Asheville is such a beautiful city and we toured around the city and we were amazed by all it had to offer. This was a special occasion, my birthday and my son and daughter-in-law’s anniversary. I was so pleased that we chose this house to come together as a family after nine months of not seeing each other. A great memory for us all! Thank you for this blessing!!! A. Brown

Beautiful place for a Bachelor/Bachelorette weekend!

My fiancé and I invited our friends to celebrate a Jack-and-Jill bachelor/ette weekend in Asheville and we’re looking for a Peaceful, picturesque getaway, and Snookville definitely fit the bill! The Morning views from the front porch were stunning, evenings spent in the hot tub and by the fire were quiet and fun, and the house was beautiful. There was plenty of room for the 9 of us to spread out and have privacy, when needed. Also plenty of space in the communal kitchen, living room, dining area to celebrate with games, music and laughter. The house was fully stocked with every necessity (even local beers in the fridge) and with a grocery store less than 5 miles away, we could easily have never left the house and been perfectly content... but we did go to Downtown Asheville one night - easy access with Uber/Lyft, and went to the Biltmore which was also close by and convenient from Snookville. Aaron was available by text and always quick to respond. We will definitely be back!

Great house, great owner, great weekend with friends

This whole experience was perfect for three couples and one toddler! The house is great and had every last thing we needed -- cooking supplies, coffee, ample space, comfortable everything, and more. The availability of a pack n play, booster seat, and safety gates made it a million times easier to travel with a toddler. From the minute we booked to after we left, communication with the owner was fast and informative. We will certainly stay here again the next time we gather in Asheville!

Wonderful house with every bunt you might need!

This house was perfect for our family getaway to the mountains. The location was just a quick drive to downtown Asheville. No issues with ubereats and receiving our Shipt grocery order. The house was spacious and allowed our family to spread out. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved the hot tub. The garden and teepee were a hit as well. That’s the first place the kids headed when we would arrive back each day. I especially appreciated how the house was stocked with everything you might need. Often times Vrbo homes come with enough supplies for just one load of laundry, one bag of trash, etc. It was so nice to have more than enough supplies available for our 3 night stay. Aaron was super helpful and responsive. We will be back!

Mountain paradise

We absolutely loved our stay at this location. The house was very clean and beautiful and the views are amazing. The house is remote enough that you have privacy but close enough to all the local attractions and hikes. We loved our daily visitor (the owner’s adorable dog) who would come visit us on the porch each morning. Our family had an amazing time and we will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron Snook

Host profile image
We've been Super hosts for Airbnb for a year now here in Asheville and are now expanding Snookville! This marks the grand opening of the Snookmore and the Snookery, both houses that sleep 10 and 12 respectively. Coming soon will be the Snookstream, a glamping experience. Needless to say, we love hosting and providing our guests with a unique and comfy experience. We've stayed in short term rentals all over the country and world and we've been taking notes. We aim to create the very same experience we would want and we think we're getting pretty good at it. We hope to host y'all soon!

Why they chose this property

The Snookmore was created with the Ashevillian traveller in mind. The sole purpose of this property, from the time we broke ground, was to create a perfect home base for everyone's Appalachian adventure. From the amenities to the extra packages, we've tried to think of everything. Come on down and see for yourself!
