Welcome to our private treetop hideaway. We're tucked away in the trees with stunning year round views of the northern Blue Ridge Mountains. There are 3 spacious well furnished rooms, including a large living area with a full kitchen. We’re in a quiet neighborhood, have no close neighbors and it’s the perfect place for a romantic getaway or a relaxing vacation.
We are midway between Asheville and Weaverville and just 10 minutes from both. Hosts: Jack and Robin
The space
Our private guest apartment is located on the ground floor of our home, below the large main house and down an outside flight of 15 stairs from the parking area and deck. Robin and Jack live on the two upper floors with their friendly standard poodle, Zelda and playful Labradoodle Hank. The apartment offers our guests very private, spacious and well furnished living quarters. It has its own completely separate entrance and a large covered patio that’s outfitted with both dining and coffee tables, and several comfortable seating options. There’s a 3 burner gas grill for our guests exclusive use. The apartment itself reproduces the feeling of a luxury hotel suite. It includes a generously sized living room, with a full kitchen and dinning area along one wall and its own romantic gas fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with everything you might need for gourmet cooking and a great dinning experience. Additionally, there’s an extra large bedroom with a very comfortable king sized bed that’s fitted with luxury linens and high quality pillows. There’s lots of closet and bureau space and plenty of hangers. There’s also a huge full bath with a two sink vanity, an in tub shower, thick cotton towels, high end soap, shampoo and conditioner, a hair dryer and other amenities. The apartment has high ceilings throughout and extra tall windows and a clear door let in the light and provide great mountain views. All of the kitchen appliances are full sized. We provide both Keurig and drip coffee makers, coffee (K-cups only), tea, sweeteners, chilled still and sparkling bottled water, a bottle of white wine, local craft beer and cookies and scones. The washing machine and dryer are upstairs in the main house and are shared with us. In addition to the guest apartment’s own patio, there is a separate area of our upper deck for the exclusive use of our deck. It has two very comfortable chairs, a low table and, in the summer, a large adjustable sun umbrella. It's another perfect place to savor your morning coffee while enjoying our amazing views or to sit and read. Additional amenities include a commercial grade Wi-Fi connection, cable TV with HBO and Showtime, and Netflix and Amazon Prime streaming services. All display on a 50” flat screen smart TV. The TV is on a mount that pulls away from the wall and swivels almost 90 degrees.
We are surrounded by woods on three sides and are frequently visited by wild turkeys, deer and other wild life. Many birds fill our trees. Tall mature trees tower over our home giving the visual perspective of being in a remote tree house with superb mountain views.
Guest access
We provide a lockbox with keys for our guests but are almost always on site to great and brief them personally. PLEASE NOTE: our home is about 100 feet above street level and our driveway is very steep and narrow, with two sharp turns. The average grade of our driveway is 24-26 degrees, but two short sections are 30+ degrees. At the top of our driveway, there is a very large parking and turn around area with a great view. Limit, two cars per reservation. Our very spacious guest apartment (1000 sq.ft.) is down an outside flight of stairs (15 steps), from the upper deck and parking level. Because we have two wonderful dogs of our own, we cannot accept reservations with pets. Our guests should feel free to walk anywhere on our steep property or to explore the adjacent wooded areas.
Other things to note
The street below our home has children, joggers, dog walkers and lots of wildlife transiting it. Please drive slowly, thanks. Our Standard Poodle “Zelda” and Labradoodle “Hank” are very friendly and quiet. They always enjoy attention from our guests.
