This unique listing hosts one bedroom, two full bathrooms with view of mountains. It is located five miles from downtown Asheville and four miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
This is a newly renovated mountain oasis with a beautiful, private outdoor haven ! The unique architecture style designed and created by the owner is breathtaking. There are cozy, romantic areas throughout. The owner has gone to great lengths to create beauty and character in every room in the house. From the pecky cypress columns and curved walls to the copper trim---there are architectural surprises everywhere you look. Located in Beaverdam Valley, the property includes a hot tub, fireplace with gas logs, covered porches, fire pit, gas grill, and decks. There is a year round view of the mountains. The bungalow has a full kitchen stocked with ample equipment needed to prepare gourmet meals, a dining nook and a wet bar. The bedroom hosts an iron and chestnut queen bed with luxury bedding, cedar wardrobe and flat screen TV. The two full bathrooms are beautiful with granite vanities and stone walk-in showers. The living room has a double leather recliner, stress-less chair with foot stool, flat screen smart TV with sound system, and wireless internet. It is difficult to describe the many details and features in the amazing bungalow!
The property is located just minutes away from downtown Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Grove Park Inn, and the Biltmore Estate. Also, there are many nearby outdoor adventure activities: hiking, whitewater rafting, snow and water tubing, zip lining, kayaking, horseback riding, fly fishing, mountain biking, climbing, snow skiing, and waterfall tours.
Spend the day in downtown Asheville dining, tasting our local beers, shopping or people watching.
Great day trips to nearby small towns: Waynesville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Flat Rock, Chimney Rock, Highlands, and Cashiers. Scenic routes to each, with great lunch spots. Enjoy shopping for locally made crafts in the quaint atmosphere of small mountain towns.
For guests who bring their dogs there is a neighborhood green space for fetching just 1/2 mile from the house.
The owner, Jeff Schmitz, is a builder and designer. Jeff is an amazing carpenter with a passion for unique, innovative design and an incredible eye for detail. He loves nature---both at the coast and in the mountains. Jeff has poured his heart and soul into making this space an oasis for couples to enjoy. Jeff often travels to the North Carolina coast where he is renovating two historic homes. He enjoys spending time in the mountains with his family while continuing to build in this community.
Jeff purchased this house in the 90's, completed the initial renovation at the turn of the century and completed the massive artistic renovation in February 2019. This is Jeff's second vacation rental rennovation. His first, Beaverdam Valley Escape, VRBO 617005, is a
5-star success!
Jeff was originally drawn to Asheville from the west coast by the relaxed lifestyle and ample access to beautiful mountains and rushing waters. He fell in love with this house and this part of Asheville over 30 years ago. Since then, he has worked to renovate the space into a mountain dream house. It is both private and close to town---the best of both worlds. This is such a wonderful place and he wanted to share it with others as they traveled to the mountains of Western North Carolina. We all work so hard these days and forget how important it is to nurture ourselves and our relationships. This is an amazing, private romantic place that is appealing to adults of all ages.
This bungolow had so much hidden potential when he purchased it many years ago. It was a diamond in the rough. The property has private lay out for being this convenient to town. It's character stood out above all others.

    Great getaway for couple - house has a private backyard with hot tub and firepit. Feels secluded, but less than 10 minutes to downtown and less than 20 to Biltmore. Would stay again.

    We had a FANTASTIC stay here over New Years. It is perfectly set for a trip for 2, and they’ve thought of every experience you might have on a mountain getaway. The reading nook, the two full bathrooms, the comfy bed, the hot tub, the patio, etc. were better than we could have hoped. I would 100% stay here again, and already recommended it to loved ones for their next visit. Tammy is very communicative, and provided tons of helpful information for our stay. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

One of the best parts was how accessible and convenient the location was—it truly felt like we were just minutes away from everything Asheville has to offer. Whether it was restaurants, shops, or attractions, everything was close by and easy to get to.We loved our stay and are already planning to come back. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for the perfect Asheville experience!

    Easy to get to, but also secluded, this place is perfect for a couple's getaway. The hot tub is fantastic and private, there's a quiet reading room, and a porch. This place would be great for entertaining, but it truly only sleeps 2. It's a quick drive to downtown Asheville and all the fun stuff there is to do there. Highly recommended, and I would stay here again.

    We enjoyed our stay. The location was private but within easy drive to groceries, restaurants, and downtown. This house is so comfortable and interesting architecturally with all the great windows, tile, lighting, and woodwork. The property manager left instructions warning about a possible bear in the neighborhood, normal for Asheville. We were fortunate to see a bear while walking our dogs. The house was nicely equipped with great towels, bed linens, and comfortable furniture. The only thing we missed having at this property for our 3 night stay was a washer/dryer and it would have been nice to have more than one dish towel and dish rag in the kitchen. Overall a very good place and we highly recommend!

    I was fortunate enough to stay in this gorgeous, meticulously maintained cottage for 3 weeks. While it is very close to town, the cottage is in a lovely wooded area on a cut-de-sac. I enjoyed nightly soaks in the very private, immaculate hot tub. The patio area is lovely, and I grilled one night. Tammy and the maintenance guy, Mark, were extremely responsive to my requests. I would definitely choose to stay in this cottage again. Thanks so much, Tammy, for opening your amazing cottage to me and my puppy!

    We’ve stayed at this property three times now and we’ve loved it every time! It’s so close to Asheville (5 mins to a grocery, gas, restaurants, etc) and just 10-15 mins to the river arts district and also right on the edge of the mountains and just 15-20 mins from the Blue Ridge Pkwy. The house also has everything you need for a great getaway with a great kitchen, amazing bathrooms and showers and a perfectly private back patio area with hot tub. We’ll definitely be back for a fourth time!
