Eco-Cove Wildlife Sanctuary - an Elegant, Two Bedroom Mountain Vacation Home

Eco Cove House is located on 117 acres, a National Wildlife Certified Wildlife Habitat, 7 miles between Marion and Old Fort, and 30 minutes from Asheville, NC. It is a private home in a romantic natural setting. An acre pond with koi, gardens, forests, and meadows form the ambiance you'll enjoy for a relaxing vacation. The home has a large living room, formal dining room, amenity-filled kitchen, a den with daybed and breakfast nook, 2 bedrooms, 2 & 1/2 baths and a 50' porch porch with rockers, tables, 2 chairs and a glider. A creek gurgles nearby.
This entire home is available for your vacation in Western North Carolina. The open floor plan unites the large living room, formal dining room, kitchen, breakfast nook and den (which has a trundle day bed available for up to 2 children at additional charge of $20.00 per child per day). The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, implements, dishes, dishwasher, stove and oven, full refrigerator, a microwave, toaster oven, toaster, and regular coffee maker.
The King Master bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom with a shower, double sink, and hot tub (included in weekly rentals, but less than a week requires an additional $150.00 energy/water/sanitation fee for filling, draining and sanitizing.) The second bedroom offers a Queen bed with a full bathroom (bathtub/shower) across the hall.
Two rockers, a table, a glider, a bistro table and 2 chairs, and a lounge on our 50 foot long front porch offer a relaxing place where the sound of the nearby creek lulls our guests--a favorite place for many! Adults and children alike delight in lightning bugs on the yard beyond. Maintaining the colorful gardens on the property are my joy! A bench at the pond and dock where we feed our koi add delight to your experience.
Guests have the entire home for their use. We greet guests, unless previously arranged for a late arrival. Children must be accompanied on the property at all times by an adult.The house is 1500 square feet, all on one level with no stairs or steps. Parking is private, accommodating up to two cars.
An acre pond is on our property, with our pet koi that love to be fed! We are happy to give you fish food. Use of the pond for swimming or any day visitors beyond registered guests must be approved by the owners in advance.

NO PETS, SMOKING, OR TOBACCO PRODUCTS ARE ALLOWED.

Our home is on the property, not visible from the rental house. We are happy to accommodate your requests if possible, with any needs or local knowledge advice. Our goal is to make this the best stay you have ever had!

We built a 75 foot schooner in California, sailed it to the Caribbean, and chartered for up to 6 guests for a week at a time in the Virgin Islands for 14 years. During that time, we also built a 3 bedroom, 3 story villa with a pool and hot tub overlooking Hull Bay, St. Thomas. It was also offered for weekly rentals. So we have been in the business, so to speak, for over 30 years. We love people and are happy to share our stories if guests are interested, but otherwise completely respect your privacy.

I block time after each rental to ensure a through, safe cleaning, often mentioned in reviews from our guests. Your health and ours are of supreme importance to us.

There is satellite TV, DVD, VCR and a collection of movies onsite. In this rural mountain area, we have not been able to gain internet installation at the house, although guests with their own hotspots have been able to access service.
McDowell County's Lake James, multiple hiking trails, caves, waterfalls, forestland, gem mining, mountain bike races, and beauty draws hikers and nature lovers here. Wildlife, waterfowl, and songbirds delight our visitors.
Our private home offers the luxury of comfort and beauty, as well as proximity to other North Carolina mountain towns! Groceries, restaurants, breweries, wineries, bars, tennis courts, and golfing are available in Marion and Old Fort, each are 7 minutes away. We live on a state maintained road only 1/2 mile from 70 highway. I contact our guests with directions and other information before arrival, and welcome your questions. We hope you will join us at Eco Cove.

Mountain retreat with great home and great hosts

Enjoyed a lovely Columbus Day weekend at Gabrielle and Ed’s mountainside retreat. Excellent hosts. Even had a surprise bottle of champagne in the fridge for my mother’s birthday. Wonderful, large covered front porch for reading and yoga outdoors. Easy day trips to Asheville and Lake Lure. Definitely would go back!

Secluded paradise and close to everything

We loved staying here! It felt like you were out in the woods but it was close to everything. At night all you could hear were the bugs and the frogs making noises. The kitchen has everything you can think of. We loved having coffee in the rocking chairs on the front porch and watching for wildlife. The place is decorated nicely with an around the world theme. Gabrielle and Ed were super sweet and great hosts and have thought of everything! And we loved Mason! We will see you again next year ♥️

Delivered above and beyond on every level!

This stay delivered on every level above and beyond our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and spoiled. The hosts had turned on lights, had the house at a comfortable temperature, and even had string lights on that produce a very warm and inviting ambience. It was like having turn down service.! The house itself is at the very end of a dead end street, passed the house of the host, and surrounded by forest on three sides, so you have complete privacy, something that is almost impossible to find. There is a beautiful front porch to relax on in the mornings, listening to the sounds of the stream and the songs of the birds. There are several walking trails on the property that we enjoyed exploring. One night we walked out into the forest and sat down on the log. We heard a screech owl and saw a family of raccoons high up in a tree. As a nature enthusiast and photographer, this place was a dream! The hosts made themselves available and yet respected our privacy. They are very interesting people and we enjoyed very much getting to know them. IThey are true adventurers! There is a large pond on the property and we relaxed there, listening to the sounds of nature and enjoying the incredible fall colors as we were entertained by the beautiful Koi. We were delighted to meet Mason, security detail, as well! He is a playful, intelligent and friendly dog. The house was immaculate and elegantly decorated. It was spacious and roomy, with plenty of areas to be together or alone, as you wish. The stars are amazing at night. That was one of the best things for me as I love astrophotography. Living in the city, I rarely get a chance to glimpse the stars, much less photograph them. I was able to photograph the Milky Way. The location is ideal. You are right off a main highway, so traveling is easy and you are close to many interesting hikes, while still feeling very private and remote and there is no road noise. The gardens that surround the house are delightful, and attract many butterflies and birds in season. Being able to look out the den or dining room onto these beautifully maintained outdoor spaces just added to the peace and tranquility. There are two TV’s, but who has time or the desire for TV with so many beautiful spaces to explore! We will definitely return and thank Ed & Gabrielle for a most enjoyable & memorable stay!

Cozy Cove

Eco Cove was not only comfortable, clean, well-stocked, and cozy, but it offered such a peaceful “place to land” over the course of an extremely busy wedding weekend! Gabrielle and Ed were perfect hosts: Attentive, informative, helpful, “flexible”, and extended such patience with the fluidity of my schedule. I loved getting to meet them face to face as I took a lovely walk on the glorious property the final morning of our stay. If I am ever in Marion again, I will surely look to stay here once again! Thanks Gabrielle and Ed ♥️

Perfect Spot for a Quiet Getaway

Communication with Gabrielle and Ed was perfect as we finalized our plans. We arrived late on a Friday evening after traveling. The house was all set for us, and incredibly welcoming. We were able to settle in quickly and sink into the comfortable king-sized bed for a great nights sleep. When we woke up Saturday, we loved seeing the spring blooms, and budding trees through the windows. As we explored during the day, and met Ed and Gabrielle for a wonderful conversation we were struck by how peaceful and relaxed we felt. It truly was an amazing weekend away from the hustle and bustle. We had no problems at all, and will certainly be looking at returning.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Gabrielle Thompson

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
We built a 75' schooner in California and took guests for a week's sail throughout the Virgin Islands for 14 years. We decided to move to the mountains of North Carolina in 1991. We found our property at the end of the road next to the national park, and set about putting in an acre pond, a 35' pavilion, and many gardens. We have created a paradise that we adore. We wanted to share our beautiful location with guests, which we do with Eco Cove House.
Now that we are retired, we love to travel the world, but are always glad to come home to the prettiest place we know.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We love the natural beauty and tranquility of Eco Cove. It is secluded, yet only 1/2 mile from 70 Highway. As we are adjacent to the Pisgah National Forest and our property is mostly woods, meadows and ponds, we have an abundance of wildlife and bird varieties that visit. It is peaceful, and romantic.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

The serenity and amazing variety of trees drew us here, yet the nearness to all of the myriad of activities that our mountains offer year round was another important aspect of our affection for Eco Cove. We lived in Black Mountain when we first moved here, but wanted the serenity of space and found it 20 minutes away. Asheville is our favorite city in the South. It brought us here after we left St. Thomas, the American Paradise. We established our own paradise in our cove.
