Looking for a place that you can go to and get away from it all or maybe a place where your family can “reconnect” Look no further, you have found just the place. Our home is located in Leicester, just a short 20 minute drive to Asheville (and no scary roads). We have a saying, Close enough to Asheville to enjoy; and far enough away from Asheville to enjoy!

Come enjoy the spectacular views of rolling knolls and picturesque mountains (70 miles view). Enjoy the quiet of thecountry where wildlife and wildflowers abound. We have turkey, deer, rabbits and an occasional bear show up on our driveway cam.

The home is situated on 6+ acres, has over 3000 square feet of living space and is tastefully decorated. Dogs are allowed with a 2 dog limit. There is a large dog run in the yard plus dog kennels in the garage for when you are not on the premise (if your pet has separation anxiety).

The front porch has two porch swings to enjoy in the morning or the evening, when the fireflies put on their light show. There is a wraparound deck off of the main floor with storybook views to enjoy. There is a large fire pit area also.

The main floor has a large kitchen, perfect for a large get together, a breakfast nook, dining area, living room (wood burning fireplace), and the primary bedroom. There is a covered screened in porch off of the living room and primary bedroom. Did we mention the wonderful views from the over-sized windows

The master bedroom has a king size bed. The master bathroom has a large tub and a walk-in shower.

The bottom floor has a professional size Brunswick pool table and a game table to relax with family and friends. There is a large cement patio where you can enjoy the rocking chairs and a good book.

    This house is situated on top of a hill with panoramic mountain views all around. Everything was supplied within the house with more than you’d expect. We highly recommend this home and hope to stay there again.

    We had a wonderful stay! The house was just perfect and more than big enough for my family of five. I felt like the house was bigger and better than the photos show. We stayed during Christmas and the house was decorated beautifully with a tree and Christmas decor. The property is gorgeous and the views are spectacular. There is plenty to do around the house to keep busy and the house is SO well stocked! They seriously thought of everything and there was nothing that we needed, that wasn’t there. The location was perfect for us. We traveled to Asheville, Biltmore, Maggie Valley, Cherokee, Mars Hill & Chimney Rock…..nowhere seemed far. Walker (the neighbor’s dog) came to visit twice……once when we arrived and again on Christmas morning. What a treat! He is just the sweetest and my boys were so excited to see him each time. Sharon was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

    The house was wonderful, and the host was overly helpful in finding family friendly activities and dining for us over the holiday. If we don't change locations, we will be back next year!

    A great house in a nice quiet location. We especially appreciated the fenced run for our dog.

    I (and a friend) have rented this property on several occasions over the years. It is the only rental we have returned to! The home is in excellent condition. Property owner is easy to work with. Lots to do in the area—antiquing, hiking, chasing waterfalls, visiting apple orchards, wineries, breweries or just sitting on the back deck enjoying the peaceful view. Looking forward to my next visit!

So we left a bag of dog treats for future quests to give him. loved that there were seasonings available for cooking. ❤️ Our family loved the Mountain View’s/Fire pit/pool table & kitchen well equipped! Oh! I regret that I didn’t get time to sign the guest book! We loved the area hope to return again in the near future. Thank you The Werneke’s

    My family and I stayed for 3 weeks and loved every second. The home had everything we needed and felt like a second home by the end of our visit. We loved playing games with our boys (7 and 9), who discovered a love for both the Game of Life and Scattegories during our stay. We explored neighboring towns and visited Asheville most days. We hiked all over the area from Dupont National Forest to Chimney Rock to the Pisgah National Forest and the Great Smokies. The home was the perfect launching spot. Sunset views were the best, and our dog loved napping outside and playing with Walker. We saw deer, bunnies, and turkeys. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

    House and grounds were wonderful. Clean , all and well taken care of. Back gazebo was a wonderful place to sit and watch the sunrise and sunset. You have everything in the home you could possibly need. We would sit out on the porch and Walter from down the street would come up and visit Walter is a dog he's cute and friendly you tell him to go home and he goes home. It's out in the mountains you can go into Asheville and Waverly in just a short time. The atmosphere was peaceful and calm we never had a problem with the Wi-Fi it was always in service. They have a campfire where you can do s'mores or a grill where you can just sit outside and Grill and relax The home is stock with plenty of family board games and a. Pool table. My daughters all agree this would be a romantic place to get away to. But also a family place. With deer and turkeys coming in the yard to visit cant miss them. We gave this place a five stars if we could give it more we would we stayed at plenty of rentals but this one was beyond amazing you won't go wrong staying here the owners were wonderful to deal with if you contacted them they answered right away. If you're looking for a romantic giveaway or just a family check out this house I promise you you won't regret it

    This is the ideal location for a family vacation. The views are amazing. The home is spacious, but cozy. We found the owners and property managers to be genuinely concerned with us having the best stay! I would recommend this location to all friends and family. We hope to have the opportunity to visit again.
