Mountaintop suite, mountain views, one level, King bed, pet friendly, accessible
Welcome to Anam Cara! Soul Friend (in Gaelic). This is the place for your soul to find peace. Our home is on a mountain ridge surrounded by forest. We look out over miles and miles of mountains and valleys. Deer, turkeys, and bears make occasional visits. Our home is a destination in itself.
This is a one level ground floor suite: one bedroom, living room, kitchen and full bath with laundry. These are all your private areas to use and are completely separate from the main house. There are beautiful views from all of the oversized windows. Outside, enjoy looking out over the top of the world and at night sit by a fire under the stars. Views are all year. Gaze out over the mountain, at eye-level with soaring hawks, vultures and eagles, and take in the silence of the sky. Sometimes we are above the clouds. Sometimes we are in the clouds! It is a different view every day.
The apartment is all one level, smooth woodgrain tile floors with no stairs from entry or inside. Enjoy the full-sized kitchen (large frig/freezer for the trout you catch), cozy king size bed and in the living room a sleeper sofa that opens to a twin if needed. A desk for writing a post card to the grandchildren or setting up your laptop has its own little nook. Many board games, puzzles, Dish network (2 TVs) and internet/WIFI are provided for rainy days. A full size kitchen has a refrigerator, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave, toaster, 3 choices of coffee makers, small blender, mixer, and a crockpot. It is fully supplied with pots, pans, dishes and basics for cooking and cleaning. The bathroom has a full shower/tub. Laundry has washer/dryer, iron and board.

One bundle of firewood per night's stay is supplied. Month long renter includes weekly cleaning, change of linens and towels.
Hike the roads and trails in the gated community or the adjoining Headwaters State Forest. Go fly fishing in the rivers, shopping in town, visit the art dealers, local camps (Carolina Point is very close), tube the rivers and so much more and then come back to your home away from home!

Our host was amazing. Hand written note with lots of great recommendations and homemade cookies when we arrived. The house was so cozy and comfortable. And the views were breath taking.
Our family had a wonderful time during our stay at Anam Cara. Everything was exceptionally clean and we felt right at home. The views were spectacular as we were there during peak fall color time. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay again.
This Vrbo was perfect in every way. It was everything you could hope for. Very safe, clean and welcoming. And the view!!! It was straight out of a magazine!!!
We loved our stay at this immaculate property. It is in a beautiful setting with mountain views from the yard. We appreciated many thoughtful touches such as homemade bread left for us by the owners as well as a great list of local suggestions.
The view was amazing! The bed & pillows were very comfortable. We slept very well. The homemade bread was an unexpected pleasure. We also love the location because it is not too far from Brevard or Asheville but also close to waterfalls. So peaceful & quiet. Our host was exceptional. Although we only got to say hello when we arrived, we would have liked to talk with them more. They are very nice. Can’t wait to come back when it is warmer & we can have coffee on the patio looking at the spectacular views of the mountains.
My husband and I (and our morkie) had a great stay! The hosts were very hospitable and welcoming, the property and the views are beautiful! Loved that there was a washer/dryer for our long stay. Will visit again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the mountaintop suite! The suite has stunning views from all rooms and the suite was cozy and super clean! A big thank you to Ursula for the delicious, homemade shortbread. The handwritten letter was informative and added a personal touch. We especially appreciated the personalized welcome tray with treats, water and food bowls for our beloved family dog! The ease of check out was a bonus! The area is beautiful, we enjoyed hiking to waterfalls and dining out in some of the local restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Perfect for 2-3 people!
We had a lovely six-night stay at Anam Cara and it was a great base for walking in the area and enjoying the delights of Brevard. The apartment is well laid out and very well equipped with everything you might need and more, including the most wonderfully comfortable bed. The owners have provided one of the best information folders we have come across on our travels, and, as well as being very friendly and welcoming, Ursula kept us updated with local developments such as the bear cubs in the vicinity and a passing cycle race that might affect road travel. The mountain views from the private terrace are simply glorious: we would highly recommend this soul-nourishing place.
This home is the perfect retreat to the mountains. It had everything you could think of and Ursula and Frank were very thoughtful hosts including a personal note, fresh baked bread when we arrived, and helping us start a campfire after a big rainstorm. They made it easy to have our dog with us. The views were amazing. We wish we could’ve stayed much longer!
My pup and I absolutely adored staying here. It was homey, safe, with gorgeous views, and an epic location for hiking. Would love to return! Nice touches like fresh flowers and freshly baked bread. Also having laundry available after all those hikes was a great advantage. Thanks for everything!
What a beautiful spot!! We enjoyed sitting outside watching the sun set and the stars come out. We had several meals sitting outside. The owners have gone to great lengths to make their guests feel welcome and at home. We stayed 4 nights and think this would be ideal for a long-term stay. The views from every room are stunning. They have a binder with many pages of useful information about activities in their area, which was especially helpful for our last minute trip. The home is located in a gated neighborhood of large lot properties in easy driving distance to activities in every direction.
Clean and comfortable! Close to lots of great places to hike, and beautiful Brevard. Bonus of delicious fresh baked bread waiting for us! Would DEFINITELY stay here again!
The only thing wrong with our stay…. It was not long enough. We hated to have to leave. Owners were super nice and offered every convenience possible. Arrived to homemade bread, that was delicious! The place was super clean and so peaceful and relaxing!! Woke up every morning to a view that left you breathless! We will definitely be coming back.

The view of the mountain range through the windows was incredible.
The hostess was so helpful. She even had home made bread ready for us on arrival! The rental was immaculate and like our "home away from home!" It was truly in the middle of the glorious Smokey Mountains! What a wonderful view of the mountains! We had a wonderful time! We will be back...

About the host
Hosted by Frank and Ursula Leahy
We have lived in the Brevard/Rosman area for 25 years and have raised our now adult children in this town. We were and are still drawn to its beauty and all of the outdoor activities it offers.
Why they chose this property
This home has a spectacular view of the mountains as well as an entirely new perspective of birds soaring and playing in the wind---straight in front of you! You will feel like you are flying with them. You might watch the clouds roll in over the valley and see it rain from a distance. You may find yourself cloaked in the clouds with only white in front of you! This home is a vacation in itself. You may never leave for your entire stay and simply soak in the peace and quiet. Everything you need is here. It has a full kitchen, comfortable bedroom and bath, TVs (DISH) and WIFI so that you still feel connected.
If you do venture into the forest there is the Headwaters State Forest, Pisgah Forest, The Music Center, Downtown Brevard shopping and dining, many local breweries. Fly-fishing and mountain biking are the best here.
What makes this property unique
Our one level living may make the difference in providing a vacation for folks with some physical limitations. We have no steps and have made the apartment as functionally accessible as possible.
