CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW THE CALENDAR FOR A VIRTUAL TOUR OF MY HOME!
Welcome to your very own, completely private, Craftsman style home. If you are looking for a conveniently located property in the Asheville area my home is it. Look no further! It’s just 3 minutes away from The Biltmore Estate and Biltmore Village and about 5 minutes from downtown Asheville. Only 10 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway that takes you to Mount Mitchell, (highest point east of the Mississippi River) Mount Pisgah, NC Arboretum or just enjoy some of the most beautiful scenic driving in the USA. My home is located at the end of a short, quiet dead end street with lots of trees.
The home is ideal for four people. But there is a futon for extra family and friends. The 2 bedrooms are furnished with comfortable queen size beds and nice linens. The kitchen and bathroom were completely remodeled in 2007 and the kitchen is well-equipped for gourmet cooking if that is your pleasure. Super Wal-Mart and a local grocery store are less than 4 minutes away for groceries and other necessities . If eating out is more favorable to you there are countless national chain restaurants plus local quaint cafés and bistros within minutes from the home.
There are mixes of old and new with several antique pieces scattered throughout the house. The home is very clean, cozy, charming, organized and comfortable. I want you to feel like it is your "home away from home". It is ideal for weekend or week long vacations, or temporary lodging while house hunting or job relocating.
If you enjoy the outdoors, my home is conveniently located to countless outdoor activities from white water rafting, canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, horse back riding, to golfing and fishing just to name a few.
All you need to bring with you is your imagination, clothes, toiletries and food. Everything else is included!
My Motto is "YOUR COMPLETE SATISFACTION IS MY #1 GOAL". Please read comments from previous guest below!!

Why the Owner Chose Asheville
I actually didn’t choose Asheville but rather married into it so to speak. My husband owned a home in Asheville and lived in it for a short time off and on. When we married we moved to Orlando, FL and the house remained unoccupied except for an occasional renter. In 2000 we decided to completely restore the home and after renting it for a few years we decided to sell our home in Orlando and relocate full time to the property in Asheville, a move we never regretted. As luck would have it the home next door to us was for sale and we viewed that as the perfect opportunity to be able to offer a very special “home away from home” for our guests. We bought it and completely refurbished it. Living next door affords me the ability to quickly and efficiently meet all the needs of my guests. My dream has come true so why not come to beautiful Asheville and let me help make your stay one that you will fondly remember.
The Unique Benefits at this House
First and foremost is the incredibly fantastic location to easy access of, The Biltmore Estate, Biltmore Village, Downtown Asheville, and The Blue Ridge Parkway, voted one of the top ten most scenic highways of the United States. All of this is within approximately five minutes of the rental house, yet you will feel as though you are out in the woods. The view from this home is of mountains,flowers, various birds, ground hogs, rabbits and squirrels, seen from the front porch and large picture window in the living room. I take great pride in maintaining the gardens and grounds of my properties, thus I am almost always available to answer questions or help with a particular need you may have.
