Inside the charming interior of your stay, find light-filled, cozy living quarters. The spacious living room features comfortable seating and a large TV. The well-equipped kitchen presents a lovely space to cook when you aren't dining out. Meals can be enjoyed as a family at the wooden dining table. Also in this space, appreciate having access to a work desk, ideal for remote workers.

Both bedrooms are airy and adorned with homey fixtures, ensuring everyone's comfort. Central air-conditioning, board games, kid's toys, and coloring books round out this home's great interior perks.

As evening dawns on another day in vacation, get outside and enjoy the lovely weather from the home's spacious outdoor space, lined by trees, and surrounded by the soothing sounds of the creek.

Hidden gem

Living quarters above a two door garage next to the owner’s main house. It sounds iffy but it’s not. It’s very quiet and peaceful and only 15 minutes from downtown. It has been remodeled and very clean. Sit on the deck and watch donkeys, sheep, chickens, turkeys and geese in the small abutting pasture. Very friendly owner who only talked to us when we approached him while he was working in his yard.

Quiet, cozy, and cute!

We loved it! The location is about 20 minutes from Asheville on a quiet hilltop. There is a neighbor, but we tried to stay out of their space. The view of the mountains from the living room was lovely. I absolutely adored the decorations in the home! Artwork, furniture choices, lighting... I thought it all was delightful! It was clean, warm (we stayed in December), bright, quiet, and comfortable. We enjoyed space to play games, watch movies, and prepare food for eating. After the Christmas hustle and bustle it was perfect for relaxing and recharging!
