About this property

Serendipity Treehaus | Chic Cheshire Village Home 1 Mile from Black Mtn

The definition of Serendipity is the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy way. The homeowners feel it was very serendipitous that they found this lovely home! They would love to share their special place with you. It's a perfect getaway for one or two couples. Both bedrooms have king beds and en-suite bathrooms. Serendipity is located in the charming and quaint Village of Cheshire, just one mile from downtown Black Mountain. You can walk down the street and dine at Beradu, Sake Sushi, or Black Bear Tavern.

This amazing home was previously selected as Home of the Month by the Raleigh News and Observer. This award is a collaborative effort between the paper and NC State University's School of Design through its home environments design initiative. Blending softly into the hillside of this desirable Village of Cheshire community, the architect, Thomas Lawton, made use of native stones, cedar shingles, and native landscaping. Outdoor rooms were created with covered porches and a terrace area carved out of the hillside. Inside, a loft-like interior includes clean, modern lines and lots of windows.

House layout: Main floor- full kitchen features Viking appliances; half bath; open living room area with gas fireplace and TV (cable and Wifi available); dining table that seats 4; deck with a table and extra seating. Upper level- master loft with king bed, TV, and a luxurious full bathroom with walk-in shower and soaking tub. Lower level- bedroom with king bed, TV, and a full bathroom. Outdoors- main level deck; wonderful back patio with outdoor fireplace.

Please Note: The owners offer a 10% military discount year-round to military service members.

R&R in the Treetops
We had a wonderful stay at this property - modern, architecturally-designed interiors - very comfortable, well-appointed, especially a terrific bed. Property management is top notch, Important note: this home has three levels - and natural stone steps up to the front door. Need to be sure-footed and able to do stairs.

Beautiful neighborhood close to everything. Well appointed home! Quiet and comfortable. Would suggest a few blinds on windows in main living area as homes are close together and did not feel comfortable for privacy purposes. No soap for bathing or dishwashing items where available upon arrival. Just went to store to purchase. Shower stopped working in 2nd bathroom but tub was available. Did not call maintenance for this. Had problems getting temperature comfortable due to high tec thermostat. Maintenance did come out to fix thermostat. Overall good stay and would stay again!

Long weekend
My husband, our 2 daughters and I stayed for a long weekend. We loved the look and design of the house. We loved the showers and our 17 yr old loved the soaking tub. The weather was perfect for opening the windows when it got a little warm inside - preferred that over turning on the a/c. The Cheshire Village restaurants are within walking distance. Local grocery store is a very short drive. This is a great location - we hiked at Chimney Rock and went zip lining in Ashville. Both just short drives. We will rent this again if we return to the area!

No Heat
The home had no heat and it was 32 degrees outside. All of the smoke detectors chirped the entire time. It looked as if it had not been clean and the envelope with the tip from previous renters was still on the counter.

There was no heat and it got down to 21 degrees. We almost had to leave.
There is now ay a house in the mountains should be rented with no heat. The fireplace was not adequate to heart the whole house. I was unable to even go downstairs. I am very unhappy and should get a partial refund.

Find somewhere else to stay.
The house was not as expected. There were several areas that hadn’t been cleaned such as the range hood which had Wash me written in the dirt from previous renters. Upon arrival the thermostat was set at 55. We turned up the temp. Unpacked and headed out for dinner. When we returned, the thermostat had reverted back to 55. We once again changed the temp and proceeded with our night. Throughout the night it changed and dropped back to 55 making for a very cold night of sleep. Thinking maybe it was a fluke, we set the temp back up so when we returned from our day out the house would be warmed. Sure enough, we we returned it was again frigid. I messaged the rental company. She said someone would be contact us to fix it the next morning. The call never came. We played the game of turning it up and it going back down throughout our stay. We covered up and suffered through the cold nights. No one ever contacted us or checked back in ro make sure we didn’t have any more issues. I also mAde them aware that there were cleaning issues. They advised they would let the cleaning staff know. Be prepared to bundle up if you stay here. Also make sure you don’t mind the neighbors staring at you from the house next door as there aren’t any blinds on the main floor nor blinds on all the windows in the 3rd floor bedroom. The neighbors in the house next door stood in their windows watching us in the living room. This was one room we could try to stay warm since this is where the fireplace was.

This whole community is a design study.. there are nearby neighbors but situation of the homes and windows have been planned in such a way that you barely notice. Beautiful setting. We enjoyed walking around, being a little outside Asheville, which was super busy due to fall tourism etc. Had a nice drive on the Blue ridge parkway, thing Chimney Rock, and toured the Biltmore estate.

This is a sweet property. Our adult son and wife joined us so it was perfect for four. There are a lot of steps heading into the property and within the home;, so if you have any mobility issues that could be a problem. We loved the charming cottage and the location!

Lovely stay
Overall we really liked this property. As others have said, we thought it was well-suited to two of us, but maybe not so well-suited to four, even though it is two bedrooms. The bedrooms themselves are lovely and spacious, but there is no privacy, really, in the entire unit. There is also barely enough comfortable seating in the common area for two. The house is is in an area of the planned development called the Treehaus (I think that was the spelling) and the home really did feel like a treehouse, nestled in lots of trees. That made it dark, even on sunny days. The kitchen felt like a space in an RV or tiny house - we had everything we needed, but it was very compact. The little neighborhood itself if great, and we walked down to the market, the sushi restaurant and a little bar several times. It was very conveniently located near Black Mountain, which is a favorite place of ours.

Perfect getaway
Property suited our family well. Clean, architecturally appealing, loved the decks (upstairs deck needed dusting), well-stocked, quaint neighborhood, short drive to town, great soaking tub, ample space. Interesting minor design flaws - don’t step too far to the right when you enter the house.

Very pleasant
This home is beautiful. It was clean, well appointed and unique. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. With a full open floor plan and few doors, there’s not a lot of privacy. We enjoyed the beautiful porches and patio, though the neighbor was unhappy that our group of 4 was outside talking by the fire at 10:45 pm on Friday (no music). We love the location and community and would stay again.

Beautiful Mountain Respite
Serendipity is the perfect mountain getaway. It’s colorful, warm and inviting. This was our first trip since the Covid Pandemic started. We were craving the mountains and were very much in need of vacation, although this trip was partially a work related one, it was so relaxing coming “home” to Serendipity! We usually cooked our own meals or picked up carry out due to the pandemic. The appliances are quality, which made cooking a joy. We thoroughly enjoyed the ventless fireplace since it was so cold outside. Another treat for me was the soaking tub, although the showers were very nice too. Loved the under the stairs lighting, colorful decor and comfortable beds!. Great location and easy access, which was a plus for us since there was ice and some snow. We hope to return when it’s warmer, so we can enjoy the outside decks and patios. It was such a treat and worth every penny!

Cozy & Great Location
The home looks exactly like the photos. After reading previous reviews, I was pleased to find they had added measuring cups and spoons, a colander, and a microwave. If you need special kitchen items such as a zester or citrus press, you should plan to bring your own. Beds were comfy and the fireplace easily heats the living area. The shops and restaurants in the village (a 3 minute walk) are also great.
