"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.

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.

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.

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.
