"We only left the house twice because it truly has everything." That's what guests say about our 5,000-square-foot mountain retreat, 20 minutes from downtown Asheville in Western North Carolina. A heated saltwater pool with a mountain backdrop, a private theater, a game room, a hot tub, a sauna, a fire pit, and a hidden speakeasy you reach by a slide from the second floor. Five king bedrooms plus a bunk room, sleeps 20. Built for reunions and multigenerational groups who want room to spread out
This 5,000-square-foot mountain retreat blends modern design with rustic charm, 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, and guests from ages 1 to 68 have loved every corner of it. Whether it's a family reunion, a birthday, or a couples' weekend with friends, the home is built so a big group can spread out and still be together, with mountain views surrounding the property.
The heated saltwater pool with its mountain backdrop is the centerpiece, and the hot tub, sauna, and fire pit keep the evenings going long after dinner. Inside, the theater room handles movie night and the game room runs a pool table, poker setup, and board games. The biggest surprise is behind the pantry doors: a hidden speakeasy you reach by a slide from the second floor, and it's the thing guests can't stop talking about.
Little touches set the house apart: heated bathroom floors underfoot, a coffee and hot cocoa bar, welcome snacks, and a stocked spice rack for the group cook. Five of the six bedrooms have king beds, which is why couples' trips and multi-generational families book it, and the chef's kitchen plus indoor and outdoor dining mean no one's short on a seat at the table.

It's part of the setting many guests love, but worth knowing if you're bringing dogs, as the wooded area is not fully fenced. ● Rideshare apps occasionally misroute to the house. If you're taking an Uber or Lyft, plan ahead, guests driving themselves haven't had trouble finding it. ● Noise and air sensors are in the home for monitoring only; they do not record audio or video. ● Professional cleaning between every stay. ● Self check-in via personal door code after a short verification and rental agreement

Aside from a few hiccups, which the host was extremely quick to communicate with and resolve, we had a great experience. It's a little mind boggling how much the price can fluctuate depending on time of year but that's true for every property on Vrbo and otherwise. We'd definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much, Abhi! We are really glad you had a great experience and we appreciate your understanding. We would absolutely love to welcome you back again!
The home was wonderful for our grandchildren ages 4-9. Much to do and explore! They were pretty disappointed that the pool heater was not working, but enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were comfortable and house was very clean. Pictures on-line made the rooms look much more spacious than they actually are, but still a good size for us. The slide was a big hit! House was well equipped in all areas.

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad the kids had fun, especially with the slide and that you found the home clean and well equipped.
We truly apologize again about the pool heater and understand the disappointment. We hope to host you again in the future when the weather is better for enjoying the pool!
Fantastic family vacation home! Beautifully decorated in contemporary mountain style, wonderful proactive communication with the owner, and loads of entertainment for the whole family onsite. Bedrooms/bathrooms are beautifully appointed, very clean and very comfortable. Even though it's close to Asheville, there is so much to do at the house that you really don't need to leave. Beautiful, quiet setting in the forest so you can hear the nature around you, very peaceful. Absolutely perfect for a family staycation. Great separation of areas so parents can get some quiet while kids play or watch films. Had a small issue when we arrived and reached out to the owner. Response was immediate and proactive. Best customer service I've had in years! We will definitely be renting again! Can't recommend it enough.

Thank you so much for your incredible review! We're so glad the home created such a memorable stay for you and your family.
I’m also pleased we were able to assist promptly when needed. Providing a smooth and comfortable experience is always our goal.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
House was very clean and well equipped. Kitchen was well equipped and stocked. TV’s in all rooms and lots of entertainment for 6 kids, ages 9 to 16. The pool heater went out due to extremely cold weather, so we could not use it and cannot rate it. But—the pool is a large, covered pool and looks like it is well kept. The owners worked with us about the pool and were very reasonable. There were 14 of us of all ages. This is a great house for a large group or family gathering. Management was extremely helpful and responded very quickly to any questions. Probably the best management we’ve ever worked with through the years, and we’ve worked with many!!!!

We’d be honored to host you again anytime!

Why they chose this property
We chose Candler because it offers the perfect balance of peaceful mountain living and convenient access to everything western North Carolina has to offer.
Nestled in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, this neighborhood provides a tranquil retreat surrounded by rolling hills and lush forests, yet you're just minutes from downtown Asheville's vibrant arts scene, award-winning restaurants, and famous craft breweries.
The location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. The Blue Ridge Parkway is nearby, offering stunning scenic drives and access to countless hiking trails and waterfalls. Whether you want to explore Pisgah National Forest, visit the Biltmore Estate, or simply take in breathtaking mountain views, it's all within easy reach.
The community itself is welcoming and peaceful. The kind of place where you can truly relax and disconnect while still having everything you need close by. Local shops, grocery stores, and charming cafes are just a short drive away.
For groups seeking a mountain getaway that combines natural beauty with accessibility to attractions, this neighborhood delivers the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
This 5,000 sq ft mountain retreat was designed specifically for large groups who want resort-style amenities without leaving home.
What sets us apart is the combination of entertainment options you won't find elsewhere. Our private theater room with plush seating rivals any cinema experience. The game room features a pool table, poker setup, and a hidden speakeasy door that guests absolutely love discovering.
The outdoor amenities are equally impressive. The heated saltwater pool is available year-round and overlooks stunning mountain views. Relax in the private hot tub under the stars, gather around the fire pit for evening conversations, or challenge friends to lawn games on the property.
For wellness-minded guests, we offer a private sauna - a rare find in vacation rentals.
Every bedroom was thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind. Five of our six bedrooms feature king beds, and the bunk room with twin-over-king bunks is perfect for kids or groups traveling together.
The chef's kitchen is fully equipped for preparing group meals, and we've stocked the home with quality linens, premium bath products, and all the little touches that make a stay feel special.
From heated bathroom floors to our coffee and hot cocoa bar, we've thought of everything so you can focus on making memories.
