About this property

Romantic Escape-Private with Hot tub & Fireplace and Fenced Yard. Sleeps 2

Contactless Check-In & Check-Out

This is a unique mountain home with beautiful private outdoor oasis! The folk architecture style designed and created by the owner is breathtaking. There are cozy, romantic areas throughout. The owner has gone to great lengths to create beauty and character in every room in the house. From the compass rose inlay to the copper trim---there are architectural surprises everywhere you look. The property includes a hot tub, fireplace with gas logs, covered porch, fire pit, gas grill, and beautiful deck with year round view of the mountains. The Escape has a full kitchen stocked with ample equipment needed to prepare gourmet meals, a separate dining room surrounded by glass, and a breakfast nook with a view of the mountains. The bedroom hosts an antique iron queen bed with luxury bedding, and large dressing room. The two full bathrooms are beautiful with granite vanities and walk-in showers. The living room has a full size couch, stress-less recliner, flat screen TV with cable package, sound system, and wireless internet. It is difficult to describe the many details and features in the amazing Escape!
The property is located just minutes away from downtown Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Grove Park Inn, and the Biltmore Estate. Also, there are many nearby outdoor adventure activities: hiking, whitewater rafting, snow and water tubing, zip lining, kayaking, horseback riding, fly fishing, mountain biking, climbing, snow skiing, and waterfall tours.

Spend the day in downtown Asheville dining, tasting our local beers, shopping or people watching.

Great day trips to nearby small towns: Waynesville, Hendersonville, Brevard, Flat Rock, Chimney Rock, Highlands, and Cashiers. Scenic routes to each, with great lunch spots. Enjoy shopping for locally made crafts in the quaint atmosphere of small mountain towns.

For guests who bring their dogs there is a neighborhood green space for fetching just 1/2 mile from the house.

Great place to stay
This was a perfect home away from home! It was just perfect for my husband and I and our two dogs. They loved the back yard and we loved sitting out in the hot tub looking up at the stars! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the home was clean and had everything we needed.

Fun weekday get away
Wanted a quick get away for a few nights. Quiet spot with pleasant views. No one looking over you. We spent our nights grilling out, making a fire and lounging in the hot tub watching the stars. The bed is comfy, the house is well kept and cozy. Loved that the backyard was fenced in for the dogs.

Great location and setting
My wife and I really loved the location of this house. Only took 10 mins to get to downtown. It was quiet and private, even though there are houses all around it. It had everything we needed. The bedroom was a little awkward with the size of the room not allowing for things like a larger bed or side tables. The host was very communicative, and was very accommodating when I screwed up the dates…twice.

Great location and beautiful cottage for visit to Asheville
We had a wonderful stay at our VRBO in Asheville. The property has upscale features and was very clean and comfortable. The dog friendliness was much appreciated and the yard was well-fenced for our relaxation letting the dog off leash in the yard. The property location was just out of town offering convenience for going into town while providing a Quiet, safe, and relaxing respite. We would definitely recommend for any couple looking for a nice stay in Asheville!

Hot tub heaven
We thoroughly enjoyed our Valentine's weekend getaway at this quaint cottage! While we typically stay in downtown Asheville, this time we wanted to bring the pups and have a more relaxed weekend. This cottage was adorable and the hot tub was a perfect spot to see the twinkling mountainside in the evening or listen to the birds during the day. The layout of the primary bathrooms with the extra sink area was really nice! The bedroom is a bit small. Wish we could have had a shelf or table by the bed, but it was a very comfortable bed. The gas logs pump out some heat so it was always cozy. The pups loved the yard and wanted to be outside exploring constantly. Lots of great instructions left by the owner! We enjoyed pastries and coffee from Filo's and dinner at Jettie Rae's Oyster House during our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Schmitz

Host profile image
The owner, Jeff Schmitz, is a builder and designer. Jeff is an amazing carpenter with a passion for unique, innovative design and an incredible eye for detail. He loves nature---both at the coast and in the mountains. Jeff has poured his heart and soul into making this space an oasis for couples to enjoy. Jeff often travels to the North Carolina coast where he is renovating two historic homes. He enjoys spending time in the mountains with his family while continuing to build in this community.

Why they chose this property

Jeff was originally drawn to Asheville from the west coast by the relaxed lifestyle and ample access to beautiful mountains and rushing waters. He fell in love with this house and this part of Asheville 22 years ago. Since then, he has worked to renovate the space into a mountain dream house. It is both private and close to town---the best of both worlds. This is such a wonderful place and he wanted to share it with others as they traveled to the mountains of Western North Carolina. We all work so hard these days and forget how important it is to nurture ourselves and our relationships. This is an amazing, private romantic place that is appealing to adults of all ages.

What makes this property unique

This house had so much hidden potential when he purchased it many years ago. It was a diamond in the rough. The property has private lay out for being this convenient to town. It's character stood out above all others.
