About this property

Peaceful True Mtn Oasis! Renovated, Views, Trails, near BRP, Cozy Gas Fireplace

Let your senses delight in the sights and sounds of nature while enjoying the luxuries of this newly renovated home. With mountain views in every direction, relax on one of the porches and let the babbling stream and fresh mountain air carry your stress away. When’s the last time you studied a sky painted with stars or watched fireflies dance at dusk? This is the pace for peace and relaxation.

Situated on the edge of Pisgah National Forest, Jack’s Seat is only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, with craft breweries and renowned restaurants all within walking distance. Near Warren Wilson College and minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, an adventure of hiking, biking, fishing, kayaking or waterfall discovery is just beyond your front door.

No detail of comfort has been overlooked in our fully renovated modern chalet. A romantic gas fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen, wet bar and wine cooler, gas grill, complimentary Wi-Fi and large flat-screen TV are just a few of the amenities to make your vacation relaxed and worry-free. Each of the 2 bedrooms features an attached full bathroom with linens provided. Enjoy a walk around the expansive yard or cozy up in an Adirondack chair for the evening.

A few details regarding this rental:

An in-law suite with separate entrance is located downstairs where other guests or the owner may be staying. I'm available for any questions you have but be assured that your vacation will not be interrupted otherwise. There is little to no noise emitted from the bottom level to the upper rental unit.

Please note this rental is only accessible by outside stairs. The front entrance is on the 2nd floor at the top of the stairs.

Front entrance and outdoor Ring cameras and motion-activated lighting are present for your safety and security.

Cell phone service can be limited in the mountains due to terrain. The home is equipped with wifi, however with power outages also go the internet and over wifi calling.

To preserve the relaxing atmosphere, parties and loud noise/music are not allowed. ​

The private gravel driveway is not long or steep and is accessible by all type of vehicles. The parking is limited to two to three cars on the gravel areas near the house; parking is not allowed elsewhere as landscaping or septic systems could be damaged. Please do not drive through or park in the yard.

PERFECT!!
Jack's Seat was exactly as described, and absolutely beautiful! The outside decks, with beautiful views, was where we spent most of our time. Two bears came to visit (at a very safe distance) - they were the highlight of our stay! The property is a 15 minute drive to Asheville, but far enough away to have a lovely mountain escape. Our host, Josh, communicated important information before our arrival. If we needed anything (which we didn't), we had his contact info. I highly recommend!

Perfect stay for the holidays
My family and I travelled to Asheville for the holidays and had a restful and beautiful stay at Josh’s True Mountain oasis. Josh was an amazing host! From the moment we booked our stay he made sure to reach out and let us know key details about his place. His directions on how to get there were easy to follow and the place was beautifully decorated and very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We will certainly keep in mind for a second visit!

Spectacular views and that offered just the right amount of privacy. The home was meticulously clean and well stocked to meet all our needs. The host was great at communicating all the information we would need. We loved the home and location and hope to come back soon.

Relaxing Getaway
This house was a perfect place to stay while visiting the Asheville Area, Blue Ridge Parkway, and surrounding mountains! The house is bright with sunshine, beautiful views and very clean! It’s true to the pictures and had everything you could need. Josh was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions. We would highly recommend this house!

Peaceful
Our stay was everything we expected. Owner Josh was very informative and great about checking on us. The accommodations were impeccable with modern updates but with rustic feel. It was quiet and peaceful location but close to downtown Asheville and minutes from blue ridge parkway. I would highly recommend.

Perfect Getaway
This property was off the beaten path, but close enough to all the entertainment Asheville has to offer. The property owner, Josh, was super accommodating. The first day, we met him and he was wonderful. We took a small group of women and the added security of someone local looking out for us eased our minds. The house was furnished with everything we could ever want and plenty we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves. It was immaculate and beautiful. The porches were perfect for sitting out with a cup of coffee and enjoying the views. When we return to Asheville, this will definitely be at the top of our list for places to stay.

Peaceful mountain retreat
The home was beautiful and immaculate. They were many thoughtful little touches that made us feel at home. The owners were friendly and attentive. We were in a secluded area, but only 15 minutes from restaurants and grocery stores. And about 7:30 most nights we watched a mama bear and her two cubs come though! It’s was such a peaceful vacation!

Luxury accommodations with a view
Jack's Seat is full of sunlight and fresh air. All the rooms are generously sized and spotlessly clean. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into providing every convenience to their guests. The kitchen was equipped with plastic bags and coffee filters and all the little things that you forget you need until you don't have them. I was particularly impressed with the rock-lined shower. It felt like bathing in a mountain stream ... but with hot water. The three deck areas were also outstanding and we spent a lot of time outside listening to the birds and enjoying the mountain view. I can confidently recommend this rental.

Astonishing Getaway
I can't say enough about Jack's Seat. The property is set in a peaceful area and yet conveniently located to everything hiking, shopping, galleries, dining, Pisgah National Forest, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This was our first trip to Asheville area and we won't hesitate to return and book another stay here! The home is beautiful, the kitchen is well equipped, and the hosts are very attentive to anything you may have questions about. We use VRBO for all of our vacation rentals, and this property was in our top choices of all of the homes we have stayed at. Thank you Josh and Dana for letting us create so many special memories by sharing your home.

Quiet Mountain Retreat
My husband and myself stayed here for 5 nights with another couple. The place was super clean, and very well equipped. They even supplied us with a crock pot after we inquired about one. We were visiting Biltmore to see the Christmas decorations and this was a nice quiet and relaxing place to cook and hang out in the evenings. We would stay again!

Upscale mountain retreat
You get what you pay for with this upscale VRBO! Located on a large, private lot only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, the unit's interior is spacious, comfortable, and immaculately clean. Top-notch appliances and thoughtfully-selected furniture make the open living area - complete with gas fireplace and entertainment center - ideal for eating and relaxing. If we had to describe this vacation in one word, it would be "revitalizing." This mountain retreat was exactly what we needed after the stress of the last few years!

Beautiful Retreat House
My husband and I met my sister and brother-in-law here for 6 days of fun in Asheville! The house was perfect for us - a beautiful view, with beautiful furnishings and 2 bedrooms that were separated by the main living space. The house is exactly as pictured online, and Josh was a welcoming and helpful host! The house is only about 17 minutes from Asheville - but it's a bit of a winding drive (good prep for the Blue Ridge parkway!) Also, you are definitely in the foothills here, so cell phone use - particularly text messaging - was sometimes difficult. Both a landline phone and free wi-fi are available - but you might not be able to make restaurant reservations from the house since they all seem to require a confirmation code sent via text! Highly recommend Jack's Seat for anyone wanting to enjoy the beauty of Western North Carolina along with proximity to Asheville's restaurants and downtown activities, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Biltmore House.

ANOTHER 5-star review!
Jack's Seat is just as lovely as the photos, and the setting is spectacular...especially in October when the fall foliage is on full display! The house and everything in it was immaculately clean and well organized. The furnishings are rustic-contemporary and comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and all of the details are tasteful: colorful dinnerware (Fiesta) and linens (fluffy thick towels) as examples. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and Netflix movies late at night. We took advantage of the location and drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway, visited the Biltmore Estate and the downtown galleries. We even caught some bluegrass music at a bakery/cafe in Brevard. Note: You must have breakfast at one of the Biscuit Head restaurants...best biscuits ever! Still, it wasn't easy to push ourselves out of the house! Josh, the owner, is extremely nice and helpful. As two (shall we say?) older ladies, we so appreciated his help with our luggage, getting it up and down the outside stairs, and his friendly and thoughtful presence. He was staying the downstairs apartment when we were there, but we didn't even hear him nor did we bother him, he said. In short: You'll love this place!

Fantastic 2-bedroom rental with great views and nicely maintained property!
Some thought, and investment, went into making this rental one of the nicest VRBO's we've rented! The views were great (lots of windows), the caliber of the appointments were top notch, and the kitchen was just amazing, with way more than the usual kitchenware, utensils and supplies (e.g., coffees, sugar, and a huge seasoning rack). First time renters might be challenged locating this if you are using Google Maps (that takes you to the end of the road, well past the rental). Use Apple Maps or once you are sure that you are actually on the right road, use the mailbox numbers and you'll find it, no problem! Lastly, the hosts were great to work with! We definitely plan to stay here again next time we're visiting Asheville.
