Property was awesome and perfect for anyone bringing a pet. It's an easy drive to downtown, but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet!

Thanks so mich for your wonderful review! Our favorite aspect of the property is the peaceful natural setting. Our neighbor has almost complere rebuilding the access trail to the Blue Rodge Parkway/Mountains to Sea trail.
The house was exactly what we needed to feel at home in the mountains away from bustle, but still a close drive to all of the natural spaces we wanted to visit. The vibe of this place is awesome! We sat in the hot tub every night after long hikes and some mornings too. We loved the uniqueness of the home- from the rocks, structural features, playhouse, and incredibly joy-inducing mural in the kids’ room. This place felt like home right away & we would love to stay again the next time we’re in the area. Thank you so much for offering this just-right space! We wouldn’t change a thing!

Thanks so much for your kind review. We are both geollgists, hence all the rocks and paintings of caves. We would love to have you back some day. Please keep us in mind for future escapes.
This is my second time staying at this property. It’s cozy and comfortable. Plenty of room and space for families and dogs. Great location near downtown Asheville, in a peaceful setting with beautiful sunrise views.

Thanks so much for your kind review Lisa. Please do come back again. We are always happy to have returning guests and let me know as we can likely apply a discount.
Close enough to town and anything you’d need but also feel like you’re in the county. Comfortable beds and places to lounge. We enjoyed our stay and would come back.
Very nice house to stay in at a great location. Great hiking in all directions. Tucked away in the hills but close enough to the city.

So glad you enjoyed the house. The location is definitely one of the key selling points in that the house is tucked away in a nature, but still very close to Asheville and just outside the city limits. Please come and stay with us again sometime. - Rodney
This place was perfect.. we got to see a momma bear and her babies.. it was an amazing experience.. the owner was prompt on getting back to us when we had questions loved our stay
We enjoyed our stay at Duckers! The hot tub was fabulous after a day of hiking - it was clean and hot and well maintained. The place was comfortable and clean. The property has many stairs to find your way up to the house, but they need some TLC because they are borderline dangerous in spots with rotted wood. Recommendations I’d make: some extra blankets and some new and better pillows for the beds. It’s the first VRBO where there was no coffee (ok, enough for one cup on day one and one coffee filter, to be exact) and no soap (although shampoo and conditioner were there). If you come with a family, there are just things you come to expect, like cards and games and stuff and we don’t normally bring those things along. You need to bring them here as what is available is for toddlers (Paw Patrol, not for kids beyond that age and before college). Small things like that that aren’t a problem, but worth knowing in advance to prepare.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Duckers Corner. We do work very hard to keep the house clean, safe and enjoyable. We do typically provide coffee and fIlters and Im so sorry you were not able to find any. We try to gove our guests ample supplies of any and all necessities such as paper towels, toilet paper, shampp, conditioneer and soap, and we would absolutely bring those items to our guests if they are missing for some unforseen reason. As for games, there are several on the bookshelf downstairs such as Trivial PursuIt, Mancala, Monopoly, Poker set with cards, Cranium, Scrabble, not to mentions PS3, with many, many games. As for rotted dangerous stairs, that is sImply not true. I mean stairs in generaly do have inherent risk, and yes the deck is showing age, but the stairs are neither rotten nor dangerous, or no more dangerous than any pther set of stairs. It should also be notes that guests can park at parking spot at rear of hoise and there are only four stairs to climb to reach the main level of home. Also, there is a closet in the hall that contains multiple extra blankets. Perhaps labeling cabinets and closets that contain the supplies may help fiture guests find them a little easier, I‘m sorry you did not have them available to you during your stay, And for future guests, PLEASE feel free to reach out if you need any at all, as we really want to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Exactly as advertised, clean and quiet. Driveway is a little tricky but we had no major issues. We saw lots of wildlife while sitting on the decks outside.
Very cozy and clean! Fantastic location, gas station only five minutes away you can be to Walmart in 10. I would suggest if you’re in the area to go to Catawba Falls! We really enjoyed the beds and the hot tub! Thanks guys!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! We love the house and put a lot of time and effort into it, so we appreciate the positive review. Catawba Falls is amazing and so much more accessible than in the past. I highly recommend going when it is been below freezing for several days. The rocks become covered in beautiful anmazing ice formations.
This was such a cozy mountain oasis that had everything we needed during our stay. We enjoyed the hot tub and Mountain views. We really appreciated how kid friendly this home was with the baby gate, stroller, toys, fenced in back yard, and outlet covers. We will definitely be back when returning to Asheville! Only things negative we would have to say is that the keys to the home were very hard to get in and out of the door and would suggest getting new locks and that some of the pots and pans be replaced due to scratches/peeling of teflon. Otherwise, everything was great!
Overall the house was nice, and the property was in a great quiet location. My daughter did find a pillow on her bed, and the kitchen pans were dirty and had to be washed before use. We enjoyed seeing the bears and the dear on property. The hot tub was also amazing. We had a good time on our little vacation.
Quiet, remote and clean. Great communication with the owners...

About the host
Hosted by Rodney Clark
My wife and I lived in the house from February 2008 to September 2015. We've had two children in that time and we still live in Asheville. We are both geologists, which is why you may find various unique rocks on display throughout the house.
Why they chose this property
This home has all the convenience of town (less than 10 minutes to downtown), but is tucked away in a forest/ mountain setting just outside the city limits near the Blue Ridge Parkway/MST trail. We have seen a lot of wildlife at the property in Spring, Summer and Fall. I like to paint, so there is a Dr. Seuss themed mural in the kids room and a few other original paintings in the house. The yard is enclosed, so you can let the dogs run free, if they are not climbers/jumpers. True for kids too.
What makes this property unique
It ultimately came down to the fact that I could not paint over the mural I painted in the kids room, so we decided to rent the house as vacation rental. We sincerely hope you find the happiness that we found in our years at the house!
