This is one of the three closest 6-BR houses to downtown Asheville - but away from it all with woods and views!

Now, about the house:

Looking for the perfect combination of modern convenience, lodge-like settings, secluded woods, mountain views, and art-filled decor -- but still close to everything TreeTops Lodge is for you. At 4,400 square feet, this contemporary cathedral-ceilinged house has all the upgrades of modern living -- luxurious baths, granite countertops with state-of-the-art appliances -- but with the feel of an old lodge, nestled in the woods, 1000 feet above Asheville with ever-changing woods and long-range views.

With an enclosed sun porch, a private deck on the ground level and expansive patio/deck off the living room (complete with patio furniture for 12 and a BBQ grill), the outdoor space rivals the indoor! From the main deck, you have northeastern and southern views of the nearby ridges, and lush greenery (or fiery fall foliage!) within reach.

The house features a cathedral ceiling living room with fireplace focal point, deep plush armchairs and sofas with two distinct seating areas. The nearby dining room features a massive dining table that can seat 14, hand-made by a local artisan using local sustainably harvested hemlock. Both the high-ceilinged living room and dining room contain art pieces I have acquired over the years, much of which is by local River Arts District weavers, potters, sculptors and oil painters.

Whether you cook every meal at home, or just grab a bite in the morning and sample the great local restaurant at night, you'll appreciate the massive kitchen off the living room, with its own six-person breakfast nook, ample granite countertops, two refrigerators, two ovens, two sinks, and state-of-the-art gas appliances.

Beyond the kitchen in the south wing is the master bedroom with king bed (and a trundle daybed that sleeps two more), with the largest of the private bathrooms with jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, double vanity and giant walk-in closet. The Mission-style king bed and daybed in this room were both hand-crafted by a local artisan using locally source Appalachian pine.

The other two large king-bed bedrooms on the main floor are in the north wing. They share one and half baths, including a large marble-lined shower. The plantation-style king in one room is also handmade by the same artisan who build the Mission bed in the Master. The other king headboard is made from two queen headboards that Asheville's historic Grove Park Inn used in the 1920s which were sold to the public in 1976 when the Inn was remodeled. Both rooms also feature local art. There is a additional half-bath off the entryway near the Great Room.

Downstairs features a very large family room with regulation-sized pool table, a second small kitchen and bar, an additional two full baths bath -- and the remaining three bedrooms - a queen room that sleeps two, a room with two twin-over-full bunk that sleeps four (or even 6) and the kids' bunkhouse bedroom with two bunk beds for four more.

That adds up to a total sleeping count of 20.

The house, however, is not designed to support 20 adults. The bunks are better used for kids, and I generally prefer to rent to no more than 12 adults. Most of my booking are large extended families coming to Asheville for family events like a wedding or a reunion. I try to be thoughtful of the neighbors, and renting to families keeps the number of cars and noise level in the neighborhood to a minimum. I ask guest to please park in the large driveway and parking pad, not on the main road, as a courtesy to my neighbors.

The house is situated on a steep hill, surrounded by 3.5 acres of forest, out of sight from neighbors. The road to the house and the driveway are NOT steep. But with the hillside falling off quickly below the house, so there is not a lot of yard. The huge deck seems to float among the tree tops, offering shade when you want it, but magical views of far-off mountains. It will be easy to forget that you are less than a mile from Starbucks, fine dining, groceries, breweries and other conveniences.

The house itself is on level ground, with only one step up onto the porch to enter. Once in the house (up that one step), the entire main floor and deck are handicap accessible and wheel-chair friendly. Past guests with elderly or frail parents or grandparents have found the house well-suited to those with limited mobility. There is a portable wheelchair ramp in the hall closet near the front door that can be used for that one front step.

I have lived in or visited Asheville on and off for more than 20 years. There is so much to do and see here. If you are planning a trip, book tickets to the Biltmore early. My house has lots of brochures about other local activities, and I can always provide a restaurant idea or two.

I hope you will choose to stay at TreeTops Lodge. Regardless of where you choose to stay, and whether you are coming for the art or the beer, please enjoy your time in America's most magical and relaxed mountain town.

If you are more than 12 people, I may have to raise the cleaning fee by $100. It can take two people most of a day to clean up after larger groups. If your stay creates a turn where staff only have five hour to prepare the house for the next guests, I will also need to charge an additional $100. I value my cleaning staff and there families, and I compensate my cleaning team ( and landscaping and maintenance people) and at a living wage, well above the minimum. Please join me in supporting our service workers in Asheville's tourist economy!

    The entire home was spectacular. The views are stunning. There was plenty of room for my family and it provides the perfect space to relax and enjoy the mountains. The place was very clean and well stocked with everything from cookware to utensils to full size toiletries. We loved everything about it. Would definitely recommend.

    We loved being located so close to downtown Asheville. The house was large and accommodated our group beautifully. The beds were very comfortable, and the bedrooms had reading lamps, electrical outlets, and plenty of space for storeage, besides being lovely. The kitchen was a real standout: a great assortment of pots and pans, serving dishes, good knives, two separate ovens, and a great gas range. We especially loved that this house is wheelchair accessible, with portable ramps for two small steps, and had a high chair and a portable baby bed. It met all our needs!

    Well-maintained, well-equipped, sprawling house with an excellent cleaning team. Although surrounded by nature (I.e., bears, birds and butterflies) and stunning views from the home, Asheville restaurants and activities were but a short drive away. The hot tub was a hit and was perfectly maintained. The artwork was a plus--eclectic and interesting. Our host was responsive to our concerns. Our family group of 12 had a wonderful time.

    The house is absolutely lovely and was the perfect gathering place for my large family. We had plenty of space to both collect together and to also have space to break up into smaller groups. The kitchen had all of our cooking needs covered, including a smaller fridge to keep drinks. The house was close to Asheville to be able to go do things but also quiet and isolated so that we could relax. Would absolutely stay here again with a group fo friends or family!

    The house was roomy and comfortable for 16 people. There was plenty of room to be together or have some alone time. The kitchen was nicely appointed for making large family meals. It was very convenient to downtown. The only downside was the hot tub was not available through some unforeseen circumstances but the owner was very responsive and gave me a credit. I would love to stay here again and recommend it highly.

    House was beautiful and had an amazing view out over the trees and hills. The accommodations were comfortable, but the deck and screened porch were the stars of the place. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because we had trouble with the AC, but Mike was very responsive and helpful, and it seems the unit will be replaced. Otherwise, the house was perfect for extended family including kids, parents, and grandparents enjoying all that Asheville has to offer. Kids enjoyed playing pool and watching movies downstairs, and adults relaxed on the screen porch. The location is convenient to downtown but also quiet and secluded. We even got to see some bears! What a special place!

    Amazing house, close to Asheville!! Luxurious amenities. EVERY THING you need to have a great time. We had big trucks so the turn around was a little tricky. Just fyi. And there was a family of bears that hung out while we were there. We kept our distance and they did too. We went out in pairs and made sure the dogs were always leashed. Would definitely return!!

    This is a great house! Thank you for the stay. The host was easy to work with and the property is perfect for family or friends. We had a friend reunion (all 40+) so the 6 bedrooms was a big bonus for us. The location is incredible! If you want to spend time in downtown you need to be close like this. Getting Ubers was so easy to all the breweries, airport and hiking/tubing activities. The elevation of the home offered a nice cool temp upon returning from downtown. Highly recommend this property!

    The place was clean, very well stocked, and had plenty of room. We enjoyed the living room, huge table for the whole family, the deck and grill, and the well stocked kitchen. Every adult said they enjoyed their stay. A few of us tried and enjoyed the hot tub. The recreational options of pool and darts were awesome. FYI we had multiple bear sightings so be aware and follow the signs listed in the house. There was plenty of parking for our large group of 11 adults, 1 pre-teen, and 5 littles under the age of 4. There was plenty to do in and around Asheville, but we mostly hung out at the house.

    The house was fabulous. Plenty of room for eleven people and two Goldens. Everything one could possibly need was provided. We really especially enjoyed the patio room and deck. It was a great place to enjoy morning coffee and evening conversation. The owners instructions were clear, the Internet was very good and the location was amazing. The house feels much like a private country home but is only a 10 minute drive from downtown Asheville. We couldn’t have been happier!
