About Monica Tilhou

Hi! My name is Monica and thank you for reading about my precious property! I'm a recent widow in her early 60's who's been enjoying the process of transforming a home into a real beauty. . . When my husband, John, of 34 years died 8 years ago, I moved to Asheville and later bought this home. Through remodeling over the psst 2yrs, I've been able to decorate it as a very appealing and highly satisfying rental for adults and children alike! My life's work/project- my 3 wonderful adult kids and 2sweet granddaughters, were the inspiration for this remodeling project! Because I want to keep them visiting me here often, I had the incentive to make this a warm, yet "luxurious" mountain retreat! I travel occasionally but will usually be here in town at a nearby home during your stay. It's always a pleasure to greet guests and welcome them to my home, so I look forward to meeting you and showing you around the house and grounds personally- it would be my pleasure! I truly hope you Enjoy your stay- your days and nights (on the front porch with a fire!?) while you're here in lovely Asheville!

Monica Tilhou purchased this Bungalow in 2013

Why Monica Tilhou chose Asheville

I fell in love with Asheville on my very first visit and moved into a rental here 6 months later! That was in 2010. As I searched for a home close to town to purchase some 2 1/2 years later, I was drawn immediately to this lovely, picturesque spot, overlooking a pond and facing an evergreen mountain that fills the view! I knew I had to live here! So, after purchasing it in the Spring of 2013, I undertook dramatic renovations which have brought great response and delight to family and visitors alike. It's been great fun! I'm proud of the place and pleased to offer a home of this caliber so close to town... 5 minutes! Great views, large front porch, back screened-in porch, gourmet kitchen, 6-7 person hot tub and, somewhat rare among home rentals, a secluded, backyard fire pit up into the woods for conversing and roasting marshmallows! Also, if you are arriving from several directions, easy parking for up to four cars is available at the house with a seperate turnaround green space.

What makes this Bungalow unique

This home is perfect for a family get-together! It also should appeal to 2-3 couples with up to 3 children, 5 with avail queen air mattress. There are 2 queen-bedded rooms 1 Bunkbed Room for 3-5 1 upstairs apt for 1-2 with a full bed, fridge, microwave and storage space for snacks! Great rec room for the kids, two. Small tv w/cable. While enjoying the Living Room, relax on the new leather sofa with extra seating. The room features a candelabra, a mountain-view and often a roaring fireplace! Piano in the dining room for music lovers~ Great neighborhood for walking, too! Three laps around the pond below is about a mile! A slow, one-way path around this pond takes you through our quiet, little neighborhood. Please observe a 10pm curfew on loud, outdoor gatherings. Revelry on the front porch or up in the acre of woods above carries an echo "heard all 'round the pond!". So do, please, respect this curfew each evening. Thanks so much!
