Mountaintop suite, mountain views, one level, King bed, pet friendly, accessible
Welcome to Anam Cara! Soul Friend (in Gaelic). This is the place for your soul to find peace. Our home is on a mountain ridge surrounded by forest. We look out over miles and miles of mountains and valleys. Deer, turkeys, and bears make occasional visits. Our home is a destination in itself.
This is a one level ground floor suite: one bedroom, living room, kitchen and full bath with laundry. These are all your private areas to use and are completely separate from the main house. There are beautiful views from all of the oversized windows. Outside, enjoy looking out over the top of the world and at night sit by a fire under the stars. Views are all year. Gaze out over the mountain, at eye-level with soaring hawks, vultures and eagles, and take in the silence of the sky. Sometimes we are above the clouds. Sometimes we are in the clouds! It is a different view every day.
The apartment is all one level, smooth woodgrain tile floors with no stairs from entry or inside. Enjoy the full-sized kitchen (large frig/freezer for the trout you catch), cozy king size bed and in the living room a sleeper sofa that opens to a twin if needed. A desk for writing a post card to the grandchildren or setting up your laptop has its own little nook. Many board games, puzzles, Dish network (2 TVs) and internet/WIFI are provided for rainy days. A full size kitchen has a refrigerator, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave, toaster, 3 choices of coffee makers, small blender, mixer, and a crockpot. It is fully supplied with pots, pans, dishes and basics for cooking and cleaning. The bathroom has a full shower/tub. Laundry has washer/dryer, iron and board. Linens, towels and basic soaps are included. A wood firepit with a grill top and a gas grill are provided so you can cook out at the semi-covered outdoor area. One bundle of firewood per night's stay is supplied. Month long renter includes weekly cleaning, change of linens and towels.
Hike the roads and trails in the gated community or the adjoining Headwaters State Forest. Go fly fishing in the rivers, shopping in town, visit the art dealers, local camps (Carolina Point is very close), tube the rivers and so much more and then come back to your home away from home!

This was a fabulous place to stay. The mountain views were spectacular, very quiet, clean, comfortable, and private. Had all the amenities we needed and the owner left delicious fresh baked bread for us. The bedroom was seperate from the living area, so my early bird husband could awake and I could sleep in undisturbed.
Everything was clean and exactly as described in the listing. The hosts are very dog friendly and the place was well equipped for everything that we needed. 10/10 would stay there again.
Our host was amazing. Hand written note with lots of great recommendations and homemade cookies when we arrived. The house was so cozy and comfortable. And the views were breath taking.
The view was amazing! The bed & pillows were very comfortable. We slept very well. The homemade bread was an unexpected pleasure. We also love the location because it is not too far from Brevard or Asheville but also close to waterfalls. So peaceful & quiet. Our host was exceptional. Although we only got to say hello when we arrived, we would have liked to talk with them more. They are very nice. Canât wait to come back when it is warmer & we can have coffee on the patio looking at the spectacular views of the mountains.
This Vrbo was perfect in every way. It was everything you could hope for. Very safe, clean and welcoming. And the view!!! It was straight out of a magazine!!!
Our family had a wonderful time during our stay at Anam Cara. Everything was exceptionally clean and we felt right at home. The views were spectacular as we were there during peak fall color time. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the mountaintop suite! The suite has stunning views from all rooms and the suite was cozy and super clean! A big thank you to Ursula for the delicious, homemade shortbread. The handwritten letter was informative and added a personal touch. We especially appreciated the personalized welcome tray with treats, water and food bowls for our beloved family dog! The ease of check out was a bonus! The area is beautiful, we enjoyed hiking to waterfalls and dining out in some of the local restaurants. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Perfect for 2-3 people!
We had a lovely six-night stay at Anam Cara and it was a great base for walking in the area and enjoying the delights of Brevard. The apartment is well laid out and very well equipped with everything you might need and more, including the most wonderfully comfortable bed. The owners have provided one of the best information folders we have come across on our travels, and, as well as being very friendly and welcoming, Ursula kept us updated with local developments such as the bear cubs in the vicinity and a passing cycle race that might affect road travel. The mountain views from the private terrace are simply glorious: we would highly recommend this soul-nourishing place.
We loved our stay at this immaculate property. It is in a beautiful setting with mountain views from the yard. We appreciated many thoughtful touches such as homemade bread left for us by the owners as well as a great list of local suggestions.
