About this property

Table Rock Sanctuary: Where Mountain Luxury Meets Nature's Embrace

Perched among 10 private acres of Blue Ridge mountains, Table Rock Sanctuary redefines mountain escaping. This isn't just another rental—it's your front-row seat to one of nature's greatest performances, where every sunrise paints the distant peaks in gold and every sunset sets the horizon ablaze.

A Home That Breathes with the Mountains

Step inside and feel the weight of the world fall away. Soaring cathedral ceilings draw your eyes upward while floor-to-ceiling windows frame year-round panoramic views that change with every passing cloud. The mountain modern aesthetic isn't trying too hard—it simply belongs here. A stunning waterfall granite fireplace cascades down the living room wall. A raindrop chandelier mimics morning mist. Birch wood wallpaper whispers of the forest just outside your door.

The open floor plan flows seamlessly from great room to chef's kitchen, fully appointed for culinary adventures or casual coffee mornings. Then there's the crown jewel: a 1,700-square-foot deck that practically floats above the treetops. Sink into the hot tub under a canopy of stars. Gather around the firepit as the forest settles into evening song. Simply breathe.

Sleep Like You've Never Slept Before

Five king beds with premium mattresses and cloud-like down comforters await across four bedrooms and a loft retreat. Each space claims its own private bathroom—no morning traffic jams here. This is sleep elevated to an art form, where the only thing waking you is the choice between mountain views from bed or coffee on the deck.

Adventure at Your Doorstep (and Just Beyond)

Your 10-acre playground invites exploration—wander forest trails, spot wildlife, or simply get lost in the rhythm of rustling leaves. Lake James beckons 10 minutes away for kayaking, fishing, or lakeside picnics. The charming town of Marion offers farm-to-table dining, well-stocked grocers, and an authentic downtown—all without the tourist crowds.

Positioning is everything: Asheville's vibrant arts scene and craft breweries sit 45 minutes west. Sugar Mountain's ski slopes call 50 minutes north. Dozens of waterfalls—from gentle cascades to thundering plunges—wait within an hour's drive, with AllTrails guiding you to hidden gems.

Four Seasons, Infinite Memories

Spring bursts with wildflowers and rushing streams. Summer offers cool mountain breezes and firefly evenings. Fall explodes in Technicolor foliage. Winter transforms the view into a serene wonderland, best enjoyed from the steaming hot tub.
Table Rock Sanctuary isn't about escaping life—it's about remembering what life is supposed to feel like. This is a non-smoking property. Smoking will lead to $1000 in extra cleaning fees. No gatherings of more than 12 people on the property. There is a beautiful wedding and event venue called Blanton House 10 minutes away.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Houle

Host profile image
We are from Cornelius North Carolina. We love hiking, skiing, and exploring waterfalls. We are foodies and love cooking and going out to restaurants in Black Mountain and Asheville.

We are designers and we built this house to share that gift with others. We love to host, families and groups who enjoy and respect the hard work that went into designing and building the property. Exploring the natural beauty of western North Carolina is a gift that we wanted to share.

Why they chose this property

First and foremost the long range Mountain View is just spectacular. Being in the middle of a 10 acre lot is amazing. You cannot see any houses from the property and you do not hear any noise but nature. We love that the location is 10 minutes from downtown Marion and about 45 minutes from Asheville for fine dining and the same distance to skiing in the other direction.

What makes this property unique

The design is Mountain modern with an emphasis on modern organic touches. Everything within the property has been well thought out. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked. The mattresses are top-notch and extremely comfortable. The central location allows you to easily explore many other mountain towns in western North Carolina with ease. There are hundreds of waterfalls and hikes within an hour drive.
