Highland Heaven offers spectacular mountain sunsets in south Asheville, just minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway.
Our cedar retreat is a beautiful and comfortable 3100 square foot private lodge, surrounded by woods and perched on a mountain overlooking Lake Julian. It offers privacy but also convenience to grocery stores, restaurants and other shopping. Imagine relaxing on one of our 3 decks in a rocking chair, having your morning coffee or reading a book in our hammock, or just relaxing and contemplating the 50 mile views across Lake Julian and to the mountain ranges beyond. We have recently completed wallpapering/painting throughout (Jan, 2009).
If the weather discourages being outside, enjoy one of 2 wide screen hdtv's with full package offered by Charter Communications. We have stocked the kitchen with place settings for 16+ and complete array of utensils and cooking items. We also supply sweeteners and paper products so you will not have to bring those yourselves. There's a full laundry room with not only standard washer and dryer but also iron and ironing board. Both full baths have towel warmers and hair dryers.
Full membership to a nearby fitness center is included at no extra charge, which has tennis courts, outside pool and exercise equipment. 3 inflatable mattresses available, plus high chair and crib. 2 car enclosed garage on lower level plus ample parking in front of home.
Comments from past guests: from NJ - "... We did very much appreciate the luxuries you were very thoughtful to provide in the house including the towel warmers, radio in the shower, numerous magazines, books, array of TV's, light switch guides and activity file. The king size bed mattress on the main floor was very comfy as were the thick white towels. The house did not smell musty and was tastefully decorated in a classy, naturalistic manner. I could go on and on.....
" From SC- "You have a beautiful place, well appointed and fitted out. You went above and beyond what most property owners do. Although we didn't take advantage of the bottom floor, I can see how families with children would love having that retreat..." From Indiana - "I and the rest of the family have some incredible memories from our time in NC. What made all of the difference in the world was staying at your house. The house offered us lots of room, lots of activity, and lots of opportunities to be together. It was ideal. Thank you for having it available."
