Peaceful Farmstead: Stunning Mountain Views,Hot Tub, Zen Garden, near Biltmore

Historic Farmstead Retreat w/ Hot Tub, Fire Pit & Mountain Views
Welcome to a peaceful farmhouse retreat set on a piece of Asheville’s living history. Surrounded by open meadows and rolling pasture, this relaxing escape offers the perfect balance of country tranquility and city convenience, just minutes from downtown Asheville.

Once an active produce farm in the 1970s, this land provided fresh fruits and vegetables to the local community for over 30 years. In the early 2000s, it took on a new purpose—growing potatoes for families in need and continuing its tradition of giving back.

Today the land still honors its self-sustaining roots. The surrounding fields are used to grow hay for local farmers, creating wide open views, fresh mountain air, and a peaceful setting that invites you to slow down and unwind.

Relax in the fenced Zen garden with bubbling fountain, soak in the private hot tub, or gather around the fire pit under the stars. Step beyond the fence to explore open fields, swing beneath the sky, and take in beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain views.

A perfect little house for a few days in the Ashville area. Our dog was always safe in the enclosed back yard. The driveway was very easy to miss so go slow and look for hidden driveway.

The hot tub didn't work

I rent this place because i saw the good reviews but when i arrived I though is going to be a private house but you can see the others houses and people, and the hot tub was cold water I texted the owner and he just told me when you arrived was hot i can't do nothing about that, I was very disappointed because he didn't help.

Not As Expected

We enjoyed our activities in the Asheville area and this property allowed us to spend less time traveling and more time exploring. We were disappointed that the pictures did not meet up with reality. Pictures are several years old. On the outside (first impression) the trees and shrubs were overgrown and the address was difficult to see. The yard and deck had not been tended to welcome guests. Rotting boards on the deck, no firewood provided for the fire ring, chairs were dirty. Inside, though surfaces were clean, the floor had dust and cobwebs in every corner. The shower curtains had not been cleaned (I cleaned the mildew off before using). Simple things like hooks, hangars, and shelves for our belonging were sparse which means most things were on the floor or stayed in our suitcases. The kitchen is spacious but not well supplied or organized. We did enjoy some time in the hot tub and on the back swing. We were disappointed that the numerous 5-star reviews did not match up with our experience.

West Asheville weekend

Our group of 7 friends met up for an annual long weekend together and had a wonderful stay. House was exactly as advertised, process was easy and smooth, and we made the most of our time together enjoying all that Asheville has to offer from live music, to hiking, to restaurants/ bars and the River arts district. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus at the end of each night for us all!

Relaxing Vacation

The house was clean, quaint with a beautiful view of the Pisagh Mtn. It was wonderful being able a take a few minutes to enjoy the view while sipping my coffee in the mornings. We enjoyed the fire pit, made s’mores with the kids and chatted for hours. My husband and I were able to enjoy the hot tub as well. We definitely would like to come back again. The host Michael was accommodating and checked in on us the day we arrived, the house had everything we needed. My only feedback, would be regarding the tree in the backyard it no long fits the description, however, still enjoyed everything !

The house was clean and as described. The hot tub was lovely and clean. The landscaping had a lot of huge weeds in it, overgrown bushes, and a dead tree. For such a cute place , a landscaping clean up day would put the exterior of the house back to what the pictures show. Overall, it was a good experience and we would go back.

Loved the view and fenced yard

We enjoyed our stay. We had a 21 month old, so we loved having a fenced yard. The "newly" painted walls that were advertised are showing some wear and tear. A new breakfast set and some more hooks to hang towels in the bathrooms would go a long way, imo. There were lots of towels and bedding, and everything was well stocked. We enjoyed our stay. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could, especially since the host was so responsive.

WE had a wonderful time staying in the house. The property was amazing and very quiet. Getting to see the hot air balloons every morning was an added bonus. fly overs and even paragliders. -the beds are very comfy -anything you need is in the house and if not just ask Michael and he will make sure you have what you need -the hot tub was an excellent choice for us after the long hours of walking Biltmore village. -Biltmore house is very close and convenient to get to -tons of things to do in the surrounding area - check out the farmers market and dinner at Apollo Fire restaurant. the bigger location was best in our option (there is 2 in the area) over all a very good week for our family
