Good house.
A bit dated, but overall a good house. It served our purposes well(hurricane relief). Great communication from the host. It smelled like an old house that is my only complaint.

Perfect host
Mr Clark was extremely fast communicating back with me even during one of the worst possible times this area has seen. I didn’t get to stay unfortunately only due to the hurricane that swept the roads away. I plan on scheduling another time to stay here solely based on how great the host were during that time and leading up to it. The cabin itself had everything we wanted and needed for a great vacation.

Excellent Asheville Getaway
This property allowed us to enjoy a mountain retreat while giving easy access to all the Asheville activities. Quick access to the mountain to sea trail and Blue Ridge Parkway provided plenty of hiking opportunities. The house was accurately described and the hot tub is a nice bonus. Please pay attention to the owners notes about bears and trash. We were lucky enough to see 4 bears at the property. Very cute, but be aware. We would definitely book this rental again.

Lovely Mountain Retreat
Truly enjoyed our stay at Duckers View. First, the hosts have done a fantastic job describing the house and property. There were no surprises. Second, the hosts are very responsive to messages. They also share their mobile numbers should an emergency arise. We found the house clean and comfortable. We had at least two meals a day in the house and found the kitchen with sufficient items (plates, glasses, mugs) for a family of four. We ran the dishwasher about once a day. The location is fabulous. Just down the mountain is an Ingles to grab your supplies and gas up the vehicles. The house key has an Ingles rewards card on it. Easy commute to get around the town and sits literally right beside the parkway. Great morning view from the kitchen window. Our pup really enjoyed the fenced in yard and the house was the perfect size for our family. We hope to stay here again! p.s. Do follow the instructions with regard to bears and using the bear box. We saw on average one bear per day during our visit, but only one right near the property.

What a gem!!
We loved our stay here! The house is charming and rustic with lots of character. If you don’t like being in the woods, this isn’t the place for you. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and soaking in the hot tub at night. The hosts were very responsive to our questions. Extra touches around the house made our family group of 5 adults feel right at home. We hope to stay again!

Accessible to town and trails, great for families with dogs
We loved the location of the house. It was a quick drive in to Asheville, and we were very excited that you could walk out of the door and be only a five-minute walk from the Mountains-to-Sea Trail along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The house itself was comfortably furnished, and the hot tub was great. The kitchen has the basics in terms of cooking implements, but guests need to bring their own staples.

Fantastic House Near Asheville, but in the quiet, somewhat private outskirts
Such a comfortable home and so close to all of the Asheville activities. Somewhat private in the trees and very quiet road while we were there. Great patio space and the hot tub was great after long days of exploring.

Awesome Family Getaway
we had a great time at Rodney's house - it's perfect for a family with kids and ours loved the toys and it was so nice they had gates on all the stairs and the yard was perfect. It feels very secluded but was very accessible to everywhere in town.

Great price for the location and space
This home feels like you are out there in the woods but is also close to downtown Asheville and even closer to Ingles which is great since we cooked most meals at the home. Owners were very responsive when we needed assistance with locating the outside lights. We would stay again

About the host

Hosted by Rodney Clark

Host profile image
My wife and I lived in the house from February 2008 to September 2015. We've had two children in that time and we still live in Asheville. We are both geologists, which is why you may find various unique rocks on display throughout the house.

Why they chose this property

This home has all the convenience of town (less than 10 minutes to downtown), but is tucked away in a forest/ mountain setting just outside the city limits near the Blue Ridge Parkway/MST trail. We have seen a lot of wildlife at the property in Spring, Summer and Fall. I like to paint, so there is a Dr. Seuss themed mural in the kids room and a few other original paintings in the house. The yard is enclosed, so you can let the dogs run free, if they are not climbers/jumpers. True for kids too.

What makes this property unique

It ultimately came down to the fact that I could not paint over the mural I painted in the kids room, so we decided to rent the house as vacation rental. We sincerely hope you find the happiness that we found in our years at the house!
