Whiskey Rock stretches across 50 private acres in the mountains outside Asheville, offering a rare mix of spacious lodging, thoughtful design, and quiet mountain views. This estate includes a fully renovated modern farmhouse as the main lodge, two custom-built cabins, pastures, ponds, barns, and generous outdoor living spaces that make it ideal for family gatherings, retreats, group getaways, and wedding weekends.
Set beside Pisgah National Forest and surrounded by long-range Blue Ridge Mountain scenery, the property creates an easy rhythm of mornings on the deck, afternoons exploring the land, and evenings under a wide mountain sky filled with stars and fireflies. Everything at Whiskey Rock is furnished, equipped, and maintained with intention so guests can settle in and enjoy their time together.
Location: The home sits 15 minutes from Weaverville and about 30 minutes north of downtown Asheville, with simple access along paved roads before the final private gravel approach. Guests are 35 minutes from the Biltmore Estate, 45 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport, and close to some of Western North Carolina's most loved outdoor experiences, including hiking in Pisgah National Forest, Navitat Ziplines, and skiing at Wolf Ridge.
(An all-wheel or 4x4 vehicle may be helpful in winter weather.)
The Property: Whiskey Rock was designed for groups of all sizes who want space to gather and also unwind separately. The property includes:
Main Lodge: A 3,600+ sq ft modern farmhouse with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a great room centered around a stone fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals for everyone, and multiple seating areas offer room to spread out.
Two Cabins — Big Ivy & The Pisgah: Each cabin includes a private bedroom, ensuite bathroom, small coffee station, and a twin sleeping loft, giving families and larger groups flexible, comfortable accommodation.
Across the estate, guests will find porches, decks, a screened porch, patios, and open-air gathering spaces. The koi pond, trout-feeding pond, and rolling fields invite slow walks, morning coffee outside, or simply time to take in the mountain views. Kids have room to explore, and the property welcomes dogs.
Experience: Guests often spend long afternoons outdoors, enjoying the fire pit, reading on the porches, or wandering the 50 acres of mountain landscape. With year-round mountain views, easy access to Pisgah National Forest hiking trails, and wide-open space for nature walks, Whiskey Rock feels like your own corner of the Blue Ridge. At night, the sky fills with stars, and fireflies light up the fields—a signature WNC experience.
Nearby, the Big Ivy Community Club offers a seasonal outdoor pool, basketball, volleyball, and a playground, making it a great stop for families.
Weddings & Special Events: Whiskey Rock is well-suited for weddings, elopements, and milestone events, offering both gathering space and peaceful areas for pre-ceremony preparation.
