The house was built with attention to natural craftsmanship, detail, and quality. It is a unique space with dedicated outdoor space that's sure to make for a memorable trip. Read through the guest reviews to see how people describe this as one of the most interesting and beautiful Airbnbs they have ever stayed in! Enjoy the full kitchen with gas range, full stove, cooking utensils and spices, coffee, tea, etc., as well as microwave and hot water kettle. We also provide coffee, tea, olive oil, salt and pepper so that you’re ready to stay in, cook a made from scratch meal, and enjoy a leisurely and refreshing morning! The large bathroom features beautiful woodwork and a clawfoot tub (and self-serve laundry). Unwind after a day's work or play at the private outdoor fire pit with a nice glass of wine or hot cup of tea. Use the charcoal grill to cook outside when the weather is nice! In the summer time, help yourself to the overhead grapes or the figs growing just outside your patio door. There are two bedrooms, both with queen beds. One bedroom is very spacious, the other is smaller with a ladder leading to a loft bed. (The lofted bedroom has low ceilings, so better for smaller or more adventurous adults!) It’s worth noting that sound carries within the house — the space is best suited for a family or good friends. The living room with large picture window is very comfortable and includes a pullout sofa. The TV is connected to Roku with Hulu, Netflix, etc. for all your entertainment needs. We also have a small bluetooth speaker to listen to music. The house is located on an acre of permaculture heaven. It has one other rental house on the property but feels very secluded and private. Feel free to roam the property, and pick the berries, figs, apples, grapes, chestnuts, etc. when in season! Consider this the perfect place to relax on a quiet mountain retreat while exploring all that Asheville has to offer. For those working from home, we have a dedicated desk in separate space and fast wifi — 440/20 mbps. The house is a contained private unit with its own outside area. You'll have the whole house and patio all to yourself. This is a residential and quiet neighborhood. You’ll need a car or to take Uber and Lyft to get around town.
