About this property

Incredible 180 Degree Mountain Views on 5 Acres


Asheville is open for business!!! Come to Clubb Mountain Retreat and enjoy a relaxing vacation in this beautiful home with views from every window. The house is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains at 2900 feet elevation on a 5 acre tract within a small mountain community containing only 8 houses on 70 acres. Privacy abounds and so does the wildlife. Tripod, only 3 legs, is our resident bear and seen quite often. Our location is less than 10 miles from the Biltmore Estate, entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Black Mountain and Downtown Asheville. The Ingles grocery store is 2 miles away.

The home has 2 master bedroom suites, each with king bed, walk-in closet, ceramic walk-in shower, make-up table and double vanities. Each suite has direct access to a deck with outstanding short and long range views as far as 40 miles on a clear day including Mt. Pisgah and Cold Mountain. Enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast on the main covered porch and your evenings watching a magnificent sunset with 180 degree views. There is a gas fire pit to enjoy once the sun goes down and the cool mountain air moves in. The main living area has an open concept design with 19 foot ceilings, 1/2 bath and a gas fireplace (seasonal) with remote control.

Enjoy a relaxing stay on the property or drive just 12 miles to downtown Asheville and enjoy shopping and restaurants in the 'Paris of the South'. Asheville has a vibrant arts culture and a booming craft beer industry. If a small town atmosphere is your desire, the quaint town of Black Mountain is just 9 miles in the other direction with eclectic shops and cafes. Spend a day at the Biltmore Estate or go hiking on any of the miles of trails just minutes away. Want to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway? An entrance is just 10 minutes away. The new Asheville Outlets are 17 miles away. Popular day trips are to Lake Lure/Chimney Rock (28 miles) and Waynesville (30 miles).

Our house has beds to accommodate 4 adults. With advance notice we can arrange for a pack and play and high chair.

The property is very convenient to the simple amenities with Ingles Grocery store, Papa Johns, Ace Hardware, etc. less than 8 minutes away.

We can help you out with discount (10%) Biltmore Estate tickets if this is on your itinerary. A required rental agreement will be provided via SignNow and must be signed within 1 week to finalize your booking. Please notify the owner for prior approval before booking more than 2 weeks consecutive stay.

Inclement Weather:
We are at the top of a ridge on Watch Knob and the view is worth the drive up. Our subdivision roads are private, gravel and well maintained. Our driveway is gravel with the final stretch paved concrete due to the incline. You normally will not need a four wheel drive vehicle. We reserve the right to cancel bookings if we feel that it is unsafe for travelers to attempt to get to our property due to inclement weather. We will make sure you get a full refund in these circumstances. We are sorry if this causes an inconvenience to our renters but we value your safety and our potential liability.

Recommended by the Insurance Co; we have recently added 4 ARLO cameras to monitor winter driveway conditions and security during vacancy. These are exterior cameras only and there is no interior monitoring onsite. Our property has a lower level living area that is reserved for family only and is never occupied when the main level is rented.

Spring Break

Excellent property with such beautiful views. The property design had such amazing attention to detail. Everything we needed was there. We even got to see a bear! The driveway is quite steep so make sure your vehicle can handle it.

Mountain Serenity

Location was in Black Mountain. The owners attention to detail was obvious. The views were exactly what we were looking for. The coziness on the home was better than any hotel stay. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were 10s. Both had great mountain views as well. Would definitely book again!

This home has it all!

This is just a beautiful home! Clean as can be-spotless. I cannot think of a thing that was lacking. Beautiful space. We were a bit intimidated by the driveway but the FWD Edge made it without a problem. We have never had the luxury of a garage before that is a plus-plus! Thank you. We hiked all over the place in the surrounding counties and even at the small park below us. We also enjoyed the Billy Graham Conference Center! I was privileged to play the piano there that George Beverly Shea once played! I would recommend this property to anyone! Thank you!

Great mountain getaway!

We couldn't have asked for a better VRBO! The house was beautiful and had everything you could possibly need! The layout was thoughtfully designed and the cleanliness was impeccable! The views of the mountains from the deck were truly breathtaking! The location was quiet and remote but yet close to restaurants and a nice grocery store! The hosts were friendly and very responsive to any questions we had. Our stay was so peaceful and relaxing- we can't wait to come back!

Perfect mountain retreat

The property was everything that we needed and more! Exceeded our expectations in every way. Very responsive and helpful owners, immaculately clean and well equipped, beautifully decorated house with breathtaking views on top of the mountain. Secluded, private, yet not too remote. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. Highly recommend and it is a 5+ stars from us :-)

This was the best VRBO we've ever been in. The inside was beautiful and styled to perfection for this wonderful mountain location. The views from the deck were amazing. I can't imagine many other properties that provide anything near that. All- in- all, all four of us were blown away!

If you like peace and quiet with spectacular sunsets this is indeed the property. I looked everywhere in the region for Blue Ridge views and stumbled onto this property.

Slice of Heaven

This property was one of the stops on our ten year anniversary road trip and could not have been more perfect. The huge home boasted two primary suites, with en suites, so we were able to really spread out The deck was incredible, with bird feeders that brought cardinals, tit mouse, hummingbirds and more. Keep quiet on the deck and you'll see them from 5 ft away Everything you could need was supplied: kitchen cooking, sounds machine, lots of information on hikes, etc.Its clear this was a well thought out space Finally, there are a lot of warnings about the bears. Do NOT feed them. We were hoping for a sighting and were finally lucky to see one just below the deck before we left. It 100 percent completed our picture perfect stay. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home. We felt like we were your personal guests.

Amazing getaway

This property is amazing! The owners have provided every amenity you can think of. The view from the huge balcony was spectacular. The panoramic view of the mountains and clouds, and many bird species was mesmerizing. We were able to watch 2 black bears playing next to the driveway from the safety of the balcony! The beautiful Blueridge parkway was just a short drive from the house. Many good restaurants close by. All in all a great place to vacation.

Perfect in Every Way

My husband and I (from WV) met my parents (from VA) in Asheville to celebrate my mom’s birthday. This property was perfect for the four of us, and a perfect distance from Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Biltmore. The home was clean, nicely appointed, and well stocked. The bed was comfortable, the bedroom was spacious, and the bathroom was very nice. The outdoor space is great - beautiful views, visits from all kinds of birds and other wildlife (no bears, thankfully), and comfortable outdoor seating. We spent more time on the deck than in the house!! The hosts were great, and kindly allowed us to check in a bit early when we arrived earlier than expected. I have already recommended this house to friends who plan to be in Asheville later this summer. We rent a lot from VRBO listings, and my husband and I decided that this was our very favorite home of all of them! The road to the house may be considered steep and winding to some, but it did not bother us in the least. Overall, we thought it perfectly lovely, comfortable, and welcoming!

Relaxing mountain retreat

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely home. The views were spectacular. The home was very comfortable, from the beds to the sitting room area. It was not lacking for any amenities. The location was situated close enough to drive a short distance to Asheville and Black Mountain. We would return to stay here again. This compares to the best stays we have had in other areas of the country.

Our expectations were high - and this place exceeded every one!

We have stayed at many VRBO and not only was this place absolutely beautiful, but every amenity was thought of and provided. The two suites are perfect for sharing with another couple or in our case - mom. Everything we needed or wanted to do was less than 30 minutes away. Loved that we drove past a grocery store and gas on our way to and from every day. THANK YOU for sharing this gem with us!

About the host

Hosted by Richard and Kimberly Barham

Host profile image
Kim and Rick Barham. The home was custom built for us in 2016. We camped all over the North Carolina mountains when our children were small and have always said that it is the only place we visited that we didn’t want to leave.

Why they chose this property

It is very private and relaxing here but only minutes from all the amenities of Asheville and the surrounding area. Only 10 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway/Black Mountain, and 20 minutes to Downtown Asheville.
Lake Lure/Chimney Rock and Waynesville are great day trips.

What makes this property unique

During the “dog days” of summer, the higher elevations provide a relief from the heat and humidity that can be so enjoyable, the October leaves are breathtaking and a picnic lunch on the Blue Ridge parkway is just a gift to us. There are an abundance of hiking trails and waterfalls nearby.
