Annual Family Trip

We have been traveling to the Asheville area over Labor Day for the past nine years. Our group ranges from 12-14 people so it’s not easy finding a place that satisfies everyone (not to mention having enough bathrooms). This is our second year staying at this property and there is no doubt we will be returning. The house and hosts are equally incredible. It’s the perfect Asheville location. We go downtown, to the village and hiking in the Pisgah Forest, they are all so easy from this house. If you are looking for a family friendly destination, this is the place for you. As I said, no doubt that we will return.

The Perfect Mountain Getaway

This space is beautiful! The house is comfortable and spacious + views are breathtaking. You can easily get to Asheville then retreat back to the house to relax. Sam and Laura were very attentive and responded quickly to our needs throughout the weekend. We hope to stay here again in the future. Highly recommend this mountain getaway!

A spacious and comfortable getaway with a view

We had a lovely time with my family in this very roomy and well-appointed home. And I cannot say enough about our hosts, who were highly responsive to all our questions and who went out of their way to help us out when we had a little car trouble. The house is quite a bit out of the way if you’re visiting Asheville, but the upside is that you have the views all to yourself without seeing or hearing any neighbors. We will certainly look forward to coming back.

Fantastic View, Very Quiet Mountain Home

You can't beat the view from either of the decks! And super quiet! The game room in the lower level was a hit for our family. The backyard was fantastic and its not very common to have a flat grass yard in the mountains. We even saw 3 black bears and multiple deer walk right through the yard! It is a very steep road to get to the house and an even steeper driveway. I was a bit concerned with how steep the driveway was but our cars made it up fine. As others have stated, the internet is essentially non-existent. There is a 4G Verizon router that we used a few times but even that only seemed to work on the decks due to poor cell service. But we didn't need internet much so not a big problem. The kitchen is very well stocked and had everything we needed. Sam was very quick to respond to anything we needed and it was clear he wanted to ensure we were completely satisfied and comfortable while there.

Memorial Day Trip

Beautiful home, beautiful views! This home was perfect for our family getaway. There was more than enough room for our group of 11. From the fully stocked kitchen to the basement game room, we had everything we needed. The drive to town for groceries was less than 15 mins, Asheville was 20mins. We will definitely stay here again!

60th birthday

5 couples and 1 baby spent a week here in October. The house was plenty big enough for all of us. We had many sit down dinners at the big dining table. The deck is expansive and the view sublime. My only criticism is the internet is very slow. And yes we did see a bear and 2 cubs

Perfectly suited for us!!

We enjoyed the house very much. Sitting on the deck was a wonder itself. The view is spectacular and changes constantly. We have been renting homes for 13 years and this home was rated a five star by all of us in the family. The owners are available and friendly, and ready to help if needed. You will have a wonderful time in Ashville.

We absolutely love this cabin!! Highly recommend.

This was our second year, staying at Sam and Laura‘s cabin for the week of Thanksgiving. Sam and Laura are incredibly accommodating and very quick to respond to any needs. They are proactive in checking in and just wonderful to work with. The cabin is beautiful, and very spacious, which is important to our larger family. Everyone feels like they have their own space. The view is absolutely breathtaking and by far my favorite thing about the cabin. The fireplace is wonderful and brings the family together with plenty of seating area in the living room. There is everything you could need in this cabin’s kitchen. There’s a fun trail just a short walk down the mountain and we went on a great hike that Sam and Laura recommended. It is only 25 minutes to Asheville if you want to visit the city. We love it so much we’re going back again - we highly recommend this cabin!

Awesome house and views!

Beautiful views, tons of porch furniture to accommodate a large group. Well stocked kitchen, but could use more plates and some smaller bowls. Tons of board games available, along with pool, foosball and badminton! Would definitely rent again if we're in the area with a larger group. They obviously care about their guests having a great time!

Spectacular views from a warm and comfortable home!

We were seven college friends and couldn’t have picked a better place to spend a week. The house was super clean and comfy. The kitchen, baths and laundry were well stocked. It was great not to have to bring soaps, paper products, etc. The hosts, Sam and Laura were quick to respond to questions and accommodating to our needs. Midweek they restocked our firewood for the nice fires we enjoyed each evening in the beautiful fireplace in the living room. There was plenty of space for us to have alone time to rest or read and plenty of space for our great dinners and reminiscing. Being on top of a mountain gave us those wonderful views and amazing privacy. We would love to come back sometime. Thanks Sam and Laura!

Great Blue Ridge Property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. We had 7 in our group and the accommodations were great for that amount of people. We have stayed in many, many homes with VRBO and I can honestly say that it was one of the best we’ve ever had. It was equipped with everything we needed and the communication with the owner was amazing. It also had so much to do there including ping pong, pool table, corn toss, Foosball, and the best view you could ask for of the Blue Ridge Mountains on a huge back porch. Would rent it again.

One of the Best Homes we have ever rented

We are a group of three couples that have rented houses in Ireland, Napa, Temecula, Portland, Virginia and now North Carolina. The house is amazing and the views from the decks are incredible! The house is in a great location, Lots things to see and do with in a 30 minute drive. We booked a wine tour that picked us at the house and took us to three wineries. The Biltmore House is nearby. The Sierra Nevada Brewery is also an easy drive away. Buxton Hall Barbecue is close to the house. The food was fantastic. Sam and Laura were our contacts for the property. They reached out to us several times during our stay to make sure we didn't have any questions or concerns. Long story, short. We would rent this again and heartily recommend it to others!

Family Time with Wonderful Memories

Our week-long stay was fabulous. The home is immaculate, beautifully maintained and more than comfortable. We spent an incredible amount of time on the deep, spacious deck in all kinds of weather (warm, cool, majestic thunderstorms) and could not get enough of the ever-changing mountain views. Every minute offered another gorgeous panoramic photo opportunity. We were visited several times by black bears (mamma, papa and two juveniles) during the day and after dark. We got fun video and audio (from a safe distance). Our cars were their main attraction. They took what they wanted from several unlocked cars, leaving little indication of their snooping except open doors, pawprints and empty wrappers. They took two door handles from the one locked car then gave up on that one. Their visits made for great social media posts and a week of bear puns (can you "bear" to hear another bear story?) Highly recommended and will stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Sam

This house has been a home to us for many years and we have loved every minute of it. Now that our children are grown and we have downsized to a smaller home nearby, we would like to share the beauty and peace of the mountain with our guests. My wife is retired teacher from a local university and I work in quality control for a national corporation with offices in this region. We love nature and enjoy hiking the fantastic trails in the area. We also love to travel, especially to Italy. We like to make our guests comfortable and be there whenever they need us while also giving them their space and privacy. We are only four miles away if they ever need anything.

Why they chose this property

We love the tranquillity and beauty of the mountain. In every season there is something beautiful to witness. The chance to be so close to the natural world has been a great blessing to us and has enriched our lives in ways that cannot be expressed in words.

What makes this property unique

Our home gives our guests the chance to watch the changing views of the valley, the clouds, and distant mountains, see the brilliant stars at night, hear the woodthrush in the morning and evening, hike the trails and be in the natural world, while also having easy access to downtown Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Biltmore House, Cataloochee ski resort, white water rafting, and all of the other great attractions in the Western North Carolina area!
