About this property

Mountain Getaway - 10 minutes from Biltmore Estate and Downtown Asheville

Located in Asheville, NC - your next getaway is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home - with plenty of space. Ten minutes from downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, and just 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this home has lots of privacy yet the trip to town is super easy and quick. The short drive from town up to the house is Uber accessible and the perfect introduction to mountaintop living.

Want to wake up to some mountain magic? Along with a queen size bed and full private bath, the queen bedroom has a picture window to soak up the view of trees and sky as they extend towards the horizon. Also wonderful for viewing the stars at night as you go to sleep. The 2nd bedroom has a full bed and the 3rd bedroom has two twin beds. Each room is equipped with reading lamps and ceiling fans. A queen-size sleeper sofa is in the living room with extra sheets and blankets .

The well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar has pots, pans, dishes, glasses, mugs, utensils, coffee pot, toaster, fridge/freezer, oven/stove and opens into the dining room full of natural light.

Cable TV and Wi-Fi are available along with an assortment of DVDs and other games.

The downstairs portion of Avondale Mountain offers 2 additional bedrooms each with a full size bed. A ping pong table, dining/card table, full bathroom and Keurig coffee maker station are provided for your enjoyment and convenience.

Enjoy the privacy of a large, fenced backyard while playing on your very own mountain top 'playground’. In summer months our garden can often provide salad veggies, aromatic herbs and hopefully some berries. Fun for kids of all ages to pick and enjoy. We now also have a smokeless fire-pit for our guests to enjoy.

Our house is in the mountains, surrounded by forest, in one of the most biodiverse regions of the planet. Bugs and bears are part of nature. We do our best to live with them in harmony and appreciation.

Many adventures await you in Asheville, North Carolina!

Linens/towels are provided – and there is a washer/dryer available for use when you need it. All beds and pillows have allergenic coverings.

So impressed!

Karen‘s home was absolutely perfect for our small group! In a neighborhood, yet tucked away on the top of the mountain, it felt like the perfect balance of privacy and community comfort. The large yard and gorgeous views through the now-naked deciduous trees were an added bonus. This property was miraculously unscathed by the hurricane so felt super safe and welcoming. Karen was an excellent communicator and very accommodating. We felt so at home here! Would definitely recommend renting this VRBO!

Great mountain getaway

This house is great for family stays in Asheville. Situated up on a hill, it has space for game time, gathering, a large communal kitchen opening up to a dining room and fantastic outdoor spaces. Check in was a breeze and we were very happy with the house!

Great stay close to Biltmore

My family attended an event at the Biltmore and this house was the perfect place to house all 8 of us for our NC visit. Spacious house for a group. Although we didn't spend a ton of time at the house due to being at events, I know that it would be the perfect place to just hang out with family and friends.

Convenient location to explore Asheville

Overall, a great property and was within 10 minutes of everything we wanted to do. The house was a little hard to find at first with GPS as the driveway was on the other side of the house. Warning, the last 5 minutes of the drive is a narrow lane up the side of a mountain with switch backs.

College friends get together

Very nice having so many separate bedrooms and baths. Hard to find actual house because roads and driveways look the same. Maybe add you drive thru 2 hairpin turns before driveway. Lots of nice outdoor decks to sit on. Remote but close to town. Not familiar with use of lockbox so that took awhile.

We had 2 young children with us and the enclosed deck and play structure were great for them. There are different places for people to gather as well as places to be alone. We also enjoyed the ping pong table

About the host

Hosted by Karen

Host profile image
Our family enjoyed living in this home for 5 years before deciding to move into town. Karen has 2 daughters, works as a registered nurse, loves bike riding and fostering animals.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Avondale Mountain because of its natural scenery, peaceful atmosphere and it's surprisingly close to downtown. Being able to walk to Shoji isn't too bad either!
