Just 25 miles north of downtown Asheville, Laurel River Retreat is a charming, comfortable and fully-equipped chalet that sits on the bank of the scenic Laurel River in an 130-acre undeveloped forest. .
Laurel River Retreat is just five miles from Hot Springs, North Carolina, where the Appalachian Trail intersects and famous for its natural hot springs spa.
No other house for at least one-half mile. No motorized vehicles are allowed except retreat visitors. No all-terrain-vehicles, motorcycles, guns, or fireworks. The only sounds throughout the day and night are the Laurel's rapids, the wind in the trees and the birds.
Secluded and serene, this is a place to hike, fish for trout, watch birds, sit on the large screened porch, two stone patios, or front deck and read, meditate, be.
A panoramic deck, 25 feet off the ground, spans the front and overlooks the Laurel River. Each room has electric base-board heat with its own thermostat. The living room/dining room and kitchen have hardwood floors. The stairway and the bedrooms are fully carpeted. Each bedroom has its own closet. The ground-level basement area has recently been renovated as a 300-square-foot heated work/play area with five windows overlooking the river and access through glass doors to patios on each side of the house.
The house is fully furnished in traditional antique and completely equipped with kitchen and bedroom supplies. The dining room has a large, circular, glass-top table on a cypress trunk base with chairs. An eight-foot-long picture window faces out to the deck, bringing in the sky, mountainside, and river. One of the upstairs bedrooms has an outside balcony with sliding glass doors. |
