18 Guests - Heated Pool, Theater and Game Room
This 5,000-square-foot mountain retreat blends modern design with rustic charm, 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, and guests from ages 1 to 68 have loved every corner of it. Whether it's a family reunion, a birthday, or a couples' weekend with friends, the home is built so a big group can spread out and still be together, with mountain views surrounding the property.
The heated saltwater pool with its mountain backdrop is the centerpiece, and the hot tub, sauna, and fire pit keep the evenings going long after dinner. Inside, the theater room handles movie night and the game room runs a pool table, poker setup, and board games. The biggest surprise is behind the pantry doors: a hidden speakeasy you reach by a slide from the second floor, and it's the thing guests can't stop talking about.
Little touches set the house apart: heated bathroom floors underfoot, a coffee and hot cocoa bar, welcome snacks, and a stocked spice rack for the group cook. Five of the six bedrooms have king beds, which is why couples' trips and multi-generational families book it, and the chef's kitchen plus indoor and outdoor dining mean no one's short on a seat at the table.

The home was wonderful for our grandchildren ages 4-9. Much to do and explore! They were pretty disappointed that the pool heater was not working, but enjoyed the hot tub. Beds were comfortable and house was very clean. Pictures on-line made the rooms look much more spacious than they actually are, but still a good size for us. The slide was a big hit! House was well equipped in all areas.
House was very clean and well equipped. Kitchen was well equipped and stocked. TV’s in all rooms and lots of entertainment for 6 kids, ages 9 to 16. The pool heater went out due to extremely cold weather, so we could not use it and cannot rate it. But—the pool is a large, covered pool and looks like it is well kept. The owners worked with us about the pool and were very reasonable. There were 14 of us of all ages. This is a great house for a large group or family gathering. Management was extremely helpful and responded very quickly to any questions. Probably the best management we’ve ever worked with through the years, and we’ve worked with many!!!!
