A beautiful mountain view can be enjoyed year- round from the decks, patio, and several sitting areas.

A fire-pit with plenty of fire wood and a grill for out door cooking are available. This well sparkling clean vacation get-a-way is great for a small group, couples retreat, a family with children, or a romantic get-a-way to share with a special person in your life. This adorable 3 Bedroom 2 full bath mountain cottage is tastefully furnished. It has a spacious well-equipped full-size kitchen and includes a microwave and dishwasher. There is a separate dining room, living room with HD TV, and a cozy den with a free standing wood burning fireplace. The cottage can accommodate up to 6 adults The garden/patio is nicely landscaped with a fountain, outdoor lighting, fire chimney , and also has a space for outdoor games. It is completely fenced for the safety of small children. The garden is well lit so it can also be enjoyed in the evening as well. If you listen close you can hear the owls hooting just after dark. The stars and moon are so bright in the peaceful dark skies of the surrounding mountains. This property is located just minutes to lots of popular hiking and biking trails, white water rafting, down town Asheville, the Bilmore Estate the NC Aboritum, Sierra Nevada Brewery and so much more in this get-a-way mountain home.

Very nice and cozy home.Enjoyed building a fire in the woodstove. Beautiful view from front of home. The house had everything we could have needed.. My only complaint would be that a couple of the beds were less than comfortable but overall a great place to stay .

Nice Girls' Weekend

I stayed here with two friends. We each had a comfortable bedroom and there were two baths. We enjoyed the different outdoor living spaces very much. There's a great firepit with mountain views, a sweet garden space, and two porches with picnic tables. We had all the basics for cooking, including both electric and charcoal grills. I would return.

Beautiful Property

We had a very nice stay on this beautiful property. We enjoy relaxing out on the deck with beautiful view of the Smokey Mountains. The kitchen and house was stock nicely with everything that we needed. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. This rental was everything we wanted and more. Perfect place for a family or friends get together. We would highly recommend it and with it being out of town it was still a short hop skip and a jump into West Asheville.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Moore

Host profile image
Hello: My name is Cathy Moore and I am the owner of Owls Perch Cottage, I am a native of Western North Carolina and currently live in Asheville. I grew up on a small farm in the Mills River community and graduated from college with a degree in horticulture and landscaping. I love to bike, hike, and garden. Outdoor photography is one of my favorite hobbies. And with the abundance of wildlife, birds, waterfalls, streams, and colorful seasons it is easy to always find something to fill the frame. I am also a North Carolina real estate Agent/Broker and enjoy finding homes for people who want to move our beautiful mountains.

Why they chose this property

I have a great love and appreciation for the mountains and am very grateful for my heritage. To own a place where others can come to stay and enjoy this lovely area is such a privilege. With the 4 seasons and comfortable climate, it can truly be enjoyed year round.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful mountain views can be enjoyed year- round from the decks and several sitting areas. There is an abundance of songbirds, wild turkeys, deer and other wildlife that share the 14 area mountain ridge. A completely fenced backyard with a patio/garden is so relaxing and just steps out the back door. There are two decks for grilling and outdoor dining. This lovely vacation home get-a-way is great for a small group, couples retreat, a family with children or a romantic get-a-way to share with a special person in your life. Owls Perch is close to several area wedding. This cottage is an easy drive to downtown Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Grove Park Inn, Blue Ridge Parkway, NC Arboretum, Maggie Valley, Harrah's casino, and Cherokee Indian Reservation. Outlet shopping, Antiquing, and or course beautiful waterfalls, tons of hiking and biking trails, zip-line, golfing fishing and skiing. The list goes on and on.
