Cabin in a Wooded Private Paradise - 7 Miles From Downtown Asheville! HOT TUB!

Leicester, North Carolina, United States

2 BR 1.5 BA Sleeps Maximum of 4 adults/childrenbrbr This secluded getaway rests within a private 55-acre natural sanctuary graced with peaceful and relaxing hiking trails throughout. At the end of a half a mile gravel driveway, you'll have your own forest adventure just outside the the door. Yet only 15 minutes from the vibrant culinary, music, and arts experience in downtown Asheville to just 10 minutes from the funky West Asheville scene and 20 minutes to never-ending Pisgah Forest, it's the best of all worlds. brbrInside your home, you'll find an open, inviting and artsy gathering area. This space includes a cozy living room, kitchen, dining area, and half bath. The well-equipped full kitchen has a refrigerator, range, and dishwasher with plenty of space to prepare food while enjoying an appetizer on the natural bartop. Beyond the dining table, relax on the cozy couch or chairs by the stand alone gas fireplace and view the never-ending wilderness out the windows.brbrDownstairs there are two spacious bedrooms each furnished with a queen bed, independent heating/cooling systems, and full closets with plenty of additional storage. A large bath consisting of a marble double vanity and overhead shower with pebble stone floor will ease your day's adventures. Along with a washer and dryer on the same level, there is a second living area with laid back chairs and lots of books and games. This area is a great hangout spot for kids in the evening. brbrVenturing outside, there is a relaxing and open patio with the forest beyond. It's the perfect place for a grilled evening dinner on the gas grill or morning coffee under the unique Mangolia tree. Make sure you use the propane gas fire table for evening stories and, of course, don't forget the smores...just keep an ear out for the whippoorwills and local owl. brbrAs you continue outside, it's good to know that this property has been known as 'Shinn Gardens'. For years it was a top location for the Asheville Botanical Gardens to lead a semi-annual tour of the vast expanse of local plants and flowers only found in the Western North Carolina region, one of the largest collections in the state. The Shinns had spent over 30 years collecting and relocating local fauna to be put in it's natural habitat and create a sanctuary of local plants. Beyond these several short loops flooded with rare and native plants there are miles of traverses with an excellent camping spot at the top of the mountain...all within the private seclude of the property.brbrBut we also know you are here for Asheville, so go enjoy. Biltmore Estate, Blue Ridge Parkway, Downtown Asheville, beautiful Pisgah Forest...all is within 15-20 minutes of here. And if on your way home you're not ready to settle in, check out Noble Cider off Leicester Highway. Only two miles from the house and on the way home, it boasts the best cider brewery Asheville has to offer.brbrIf you're looking for privacy, nature and quiet solitude but still want to be minutes from a thriving downtown like none other, this is the place for you. brbr2024- new 4 person hot tub!brbr3 night minimum required during graduation and holiday weekends (Labor day, Memorial day, Independence day, Thanksgiving, Easter, Christmas, December and May UNCA graduations).

Don’t worry—most of these are just to keep you informed and prepared for the best experience possible!brbr‣ ⛰️ OPEN SPACES: The property isn’t fenced and sits on a hill, so keep that in mind when exploring outside.br‣ DOG STUFF: We’ve got your furry friends covered—we have water/food bowls, extra poop bags, 2 crates for small/medium sized dogs (36x23x25), and furniture protectorsbr‣ NEIGHBOR VIEWS: From the decks, you'll have a view of two neighboring homes one to the left and one to the rightbr‣ PARKING: There’s room for 3-4 small/mid-sized cars MAX, the street is narrow to the home, large vehicles (camper vans, RVs, big trucks will not be able to turn around), there is no street parkingbr‣ FRIENDLY CRITTERS: We have regular pest control, but since we're in the mountains, you'll definitely encounter some friendly bugs—it's all part of the adventure! To minimize their visits, keep doors and windows closed. You may see pest control around the exterior during your stay as we work to maintain this mountain retreat.br‣ WILDLIFE: Keep an eye out for bears (there are black bears in the area) and other wildlife in the area (i.e. bobcats, turkeys, deer, bunnies, skunks, snakes)—please don’t leave food in your cars and keep trash secured.br‣ FULL ACCESS: The entire home is yours, except for the 2 owner’s closets and utility closet.br‣ ️ TRASH: We have 2 bear proof trash containers if you need to take the trash out.br‣ LANDSCAPING: Our landscaper may stop by to keep things looking fresh.br‣ HOT TUB: We do our best to service the hot tub between guests. Occasionally, a quick service visit may be needed during your stay.br‣ FOOD DELIVERY: Insta cart, Whole Foods, Doordash, Uber Eats and Kickback deliver to the home. Options are limited for restaurant delivery, Uber Eats & Kickback seems to have the most options.br‣ FOR SECURITY: There’s one exterior Ring doorbell camera and two floodlight cameras in the front of the garage and side of the garage overlooking the parking spaces. NO indoor cameras.br‣ SAFETY GEAR: Fire extinguishers, first aid kits, smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors are all in the home.br‣ ⛰️ MOUNTAIN LIFE: The views are breathtaking, but sometimes the power/wifi might go out during bad weather. Just a bit of mountain charm!br‣ GRILL: The BBQ is run off a propane tank, we always have one extra tank available.br‣ WATER: Our home uses well water, sourced straight from the earth. While it’s safe and natural, you may occasionally notice a slightly different taste or smell. Because of this system, water access depends on power—so during rare outages, water service may be temporarily unavailable.br‣ SEPTIC: Our home is on a septic system, which means it’s designed to handle only toilet paper—no wipes, paper towels, or anything else. Proper use helps keep everything running & smelling smoothly!br‣ ⚠️ CROSS STREET: When exiting onto Alexander Rd, be extra cautious—traffic from the left can be hard to see. Take your time and double-check before pulling out.br‣ TRANSPORTATION: Uber & Lyft service the home, but we recommend scheduling rides in advance since we’re in a smaller town—especially for airport trips. You can also use local services like AVL Ride Service or Greater Asheville Transportation LLC.br‣ NEIGHBORS: There are 2 other homes on our road. A 3rd home is planned at the end of the road, with construction expected to begin around mid-2026.br‣ ✈️ TRAVEL INSURANCE: We always recommend travel insurance for peace of mind, in case your plans need to change, it will have you covered!brbrbr✨WHY THIS IS THE PERFECT GETAWAY FOR YOU ✨br• Designed for both play and slowing down - From game room nights to quiet mornings on the deck, the space naturally balances energy and ease.br• A setup that brings people together - Open living spaces, multiple hangout areas, and a layout that lets everyone spread out without feeling disconnected.br• Outdoor space that actually gets used - Two decks with mountain views, a hot tub, sauna, and fire table—set up for mornings, evenings, and everything in between.br• More than dog-friendly - We’ve made it easy to travel with your dog, with thoughtful touches that help them settle in just as comfortably as you do.br• A home that feels easy from the start - Well-stocked, thoughtfully set up, and designed so you can arrive, settle in quickly, and enjoy your time without overthinking anything.brbr✓ By booking our property, you agree to all house rules.
