Location: Asheville, Smoky Mountains, North Carolina, USA (15 min from downtown and Biltmore, 7 min from WNC Ag Center.)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 7-9)
Keywords: House
This 1700 sq. ft. house was our home for ten years until recently, when we built a larger home about three miles away. So we are close enough to be available when you need us, yet far enough away to give you the privacy you need. The house sits on almost an acre, so you're not shoulder to shoulder with neighbors. The back yard is mostly secluded, especially on the back porch, where the hot tub is located.
Willow Haven is just 15 minutes from the Biltmore Estate, 7 minutes from the Asheville Airport and the WNC Ag Center, 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 25 minutes to Black Mountain, and 20 minutes to Hendersonville.
By the way, Asheville has some fantastic restaurants of which most visitors are not aware. A couple of our favorites include a fine dining restaurant specializing in German and Italian cuisine and a smokeless pub that has an Irish music jam session every Sunday night and Irish/English food. When you arrive at Willow Haven, you will find a list of our favorites along with directions and phone numbers for reservations.

My girlfriends and I stayed at Willow Haven on June 30- July 2. We had a great time! The home is tastefully decorated, has plenty of space, & VERY clean! There were 5 of us on this trip and we had plenty of room! The house is close to everything. Only 15 minutes to The Biltmore Estate. I highly recommend Willow Haven. Thank you Ed and Sheryl for sharing your beautiful home with us! The Girls from Alabama

We stayed at Wilow Haven for one week as we enjoyed the springtime in the Asheville area. This home is conveniently located to I-26 yet the spacious yard and mountain view gives you the sense that you are truly on vacation. Hearing the birds as you enjoy the hot tub was a delightful way to start or end the day. The home is tastefully decorated and immaculately clean and very roomy. A full range of restaurants are within 10 minutes of the home. All activities and attractions equally convenient. Ed and Sheryl were very accomodating and helpful. Pride of ownership is apparent.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, pet owners, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
