The Perfect Getaway
This property is located on a beautiful winding country road in North Asheville. It is attractive, comfortable, and very private. Downtown Asheville is easy to get to and minutes away. And our on-site hosts could not be friendlier.

Spacious, clean apartment; friendly, welcoming hosts
I stayed at Elk Mountain Escape for a week of part-telework and part-vacation. The unit was perfect for both. Quiet with beautiful scenery. Downtown Asheville and Asheville attractions close by. Blue Ridge Parkway also close by. The hosts, Valerie and Dennis, go above and beyond for comfort and convenience. Kitchen cabinets and drawers are labeled with their contents. Robes and slippers are provided. The unit is spacious and very nicely appointed.

Private apartment. Gorgeous views
This was a wonderful property. The hosts were very friendly and offered suggestions of what to do in the area. The apartment was close to town but still in the mountains and close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Asheville.

Beautiful and Relaxing
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful vacation rental, and it exceeded all of our expectations! The location is simply stunning, nestled in a serene environment with breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. It’s the perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature’s beauty. The property itself is immaculate and beautifully decorated. Every room is tastefully furnished, and the attention to detail is evident throughout. The beds are incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. Our hosts were wonderful and attentive, providing us with great recommendations for local attractions and dining. They made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and were always just a call away. We can’t recommend this vacation rental enough and look forward to staying again in the near future.

Perfect Tranquility
I absolutely loved my stay here. Valerie and Dennis were amazing host. The communicated and gave me recommendations for local restaurants, breweries and hikes. The place was immaculate and had everything I needed. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in on vacation. The view from the patio was breathtaking. The Blue Ridge Parkway was easily accessible from their home; a must see. I highly recommended this stay to anyone wanting a little tranquility and yet close to everything Asheville has to offer. I cannot wait to go back!

We loved everything about our stay- such a beautiful, clean, cozy apartment that was well equipped. So much attention to detail and the best hosts! The location was on the mountain in a serene setting, but close to town and restaurants. Five stars in every way- one of the best VRBO we've stayed in!

Asheville gem!
My husband and I stayed with our dog in this lovely hillside home in Asheville for a week and loved it. Everything is top notch inside the spacious apartment that has lovely views and a beautiful green space with sitting areas outside. The hosts are the most welcoming and interesting we have ever had! Only about a 10 minute drive to downtown and the Biltmore. We were very comfortable and will make a point to return! Thank you Valerie & Dennis

Fabulous place and wonderful hosts!
Couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay—the apartment was fantastic with beautiful mountain views and incredibly warm and helpful hosts. They are long time Asheville residents and are so helpful with recommendations for whatever you need—the best restaurants, hiking trails—you name it. And the location is in North Asheville, close to major attractions such as the Biltmore, Grove Park Inn and more. Not to mention that you not only have a great view of surrounding mountains, but you are staying in a private home situated about half way up a mountain, with a view of downtown Asheville’s lights at night. So lovely!

Best Stay in Asheville
This property deserves 5+ stars. Definitely one of the best stays through VRBO I have ever booked. The location is spectacular. It’s about a 10 minute drive to downtown Asheville, which I personally prefer. Weaverville is a high end bedroom community of Asheville, so extremely safe area. The hosts at this property are truly amazing. They are great communicators, and have thought of every detail. They offered restaurant & hiking recommendations, along with numerous other info about the area. The actual apartment was fabulous. Plenty of room, and very clean. The kitchen is stocked with every type of pot/pan/utensil/glassware one would ever need in a rental property. And EVERYTHING MATCHES!!! So many rental properties just have a hodge-podge assortment of whatever the host no longer wants to keep in their own home. I appreciate the regard of having matching West Elm dinnerware. The host even provides higher end dish and hand soap. It’s those type of details I so appreciate in a property. The linens are also particularly well thought of. The bath towels are the quality of high end hotels, and the same can be said of the bed linens. And the bed…just wow. I actually slept better on this mattress than I do on my own mattress. It made me want to research the brand(Muse Sleep), and I WILL purchase this mattress in the future. Quite honestly I slept better at this property than the Four Seasons. It’s just that great. Simply perfection. Truly home away from home.

Mountain Vacation
We enjoyed an amazing vacation here. The apartment was very clean and everything we could possibly have needed was thought of. Very pet friendly and accommodating and even some special treats for our dog were waiting for him. Our hosts Valerie and Dennis were very warm and friendly and made sure all our needs were met. Very private setting. The location was close to town, the Grove Park Inn and tons of great hiking nearby. We enjoyed sitting outside every evening admiring the beautiful views as the sunset. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely Wonderful!
What a relief to walk in the door of this charming garden apartment! I live in Asheville and had to stay in multiple rentals due to extensive water damage in my home. Valerie and Dennis graciously accommodated my last-minute request and could not have been more responsive and kind. The unit was immaculate, just as pictured, very private, and with stunning views and high-end touches that made me feel pampered. It’s rare to find a rental where I haven’t needed to spend time cleaning. Valerie and Dennis’s high standards were apparent and much appreciated. And I was so grateful for the dog treats, bowls, and covers for the furniture. My stay turned out to be a much-needed and welcome respite during a stressful time. Thank you so very much, Valerie and Dennis!

We enjoyed our time at Elk Mt. It was quiet, extremely well stocked with everything we needed, stylish modern decor and a comfy bed! The outdoor area was nice especially when it rained and we could sit under the porch and drink our coffee. Location was perfect as you felt close to nature yet close to downtown/stores/dining.

Memorable stay
Few places stand out in our life of travel. This is one of them! Modern but homey, every detail thought of to make guests feel at home. and the neighborhood on a mountain is quiet and an easy commute to downtown Asheville or the Blue Ridge Pkwy. Perfect for peace and relaxation. The apt is appointed with everything you may need in the kitchen, has a roomy bedroom with a very comfortable king bed and tons of storage! The owners have thought of every detail to make anybody's stay comfortable.
