About this property

Top O' The Knob, Private Entrance, Romantic Getaway, Private Deck, and Fire Pit

Your own private suite, spa bath, double shower, lounging area, eating area, private entrance, deck, and fire pit for our guests.

Our guests confirm that WE ARE CLOSE TO EVERYTHING!

As we move into our ninth year with Vacation Rentals, our goal remains the same: To provide our guests with a safe location to stay and super clean accommodations. We use the recommendations of the CDC for disinfecting between each visiting guest. We use plush towels, hand towels, and wash cloths.

We have three new features to ensure our guests have an exceptional time in Asheville. First, we have added a fire pit with supplied fire wood provided as an optional feature and for a slight additional fee. Second, we now have a whole house generator so our guests have an uninterrupted power source while here. And, third, we just installed a new mini-split air conditioning unit so guests have complete control over their room temperature and can be comfortable year around.

When you stay with us, we look out for you…we turn on extra lights when you come and go and we’ll help you with anything you might need while you’re here. As many of our guests have stated in their reviews, we are close and easily accessible to everything in the Asheville area. In addition to Asheville, we’re midway between Black Mountain and Cherokee in the Great Smoky Mountains. Many of our guests have commented that our suite is bigger than the picture looks – it is over 500 square feet! We offer high-end bedding with a NEW pillow-top mattress, separate seating area, a dining table, hotel quality bath linens and bath amenities, large spa tub bath and separate double shower, and private deck/porch with lovely views of the mountains. Paved entrance and reserved parking allow guests to come & go as they please. For your entertainment while lounging in your seating area or from your bed, we offer Charter Spectrum Live Streaming Television, Hulu, Prime Video, Paramount Plus, and others. For your listening pleasure, Spectrum offers multiple music channels, and free WIFI. Also in the suite is a DVD player, microwave oven, Keurig Coffee Maker, and refrigerator/freezer. Uber Cab and Lyfte are available to and from the location at 72 Candler Knob Road, Asheville. 28806. We have well over 300 five-star reviews from VRBO and other rental sites. Come stay with us…you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic visit!
The place was just as described and easy to find. Even though it’s in a neighborhood it felt very private. Exceptionally clean and set up perfect for a place to hang out and sleep when we weren’t touring the area. Will definitely re-book the next time we’re headed to Asheville.

We had tickets to the Glass exhibition and didn't want hotel. The cabin is at the top of a narrow, steep driveway, on a less than desirable road. But the cabin was perfect for us! Clean, quiet, beautiful grounds and everything we wanted. We hadwonderful

Excellent all around
We thoroughly enjoyed our Labor Day weekend stay at Top O' the Knob, which is aptly named. Ken and Patti are gracious hosts and welcomed us before, during and after our visit to their spotless and meticulously maintained chalet. I feel very fortunate we were able to secure this property despite my late near last minute search for a 40th anniversary weekend getaway location on what proved to be a very busy travel weekend. Highly recommend this location. It was extremely homey and a very relaxing stay with some much needed comfort after a long travel day and a visit to Biltmore. Thanks for your hospitality and sharing your lovely space with us.

Asheville weekend
This was my first time using one of these. The places was nice, clean and well organized. The hosts (Ken and Patti) were great, very accommodating. Only stayed 2 nights so we were not at the place very much, but would definitely consider staying there again.

Fantastic Property and Location
My husband and I stayed 4 nights at this great place. Check in was easy, and the hosts communicated with us very clearly prior to arrival. They greeted us when we arrived and let us know to text them if we needed anything. The room is spacious and clean. It had dishes for two which was nice to have at our disposal. The little refrigerator worked well for our needs. We appreciated the separate air conditioning unit and overhead fan which kept the room nice and cool. The bathroom has two sinks which is very convenient, and the shower is a walk-in which makes it accessible to most people. The bed was comfortable and sheets nice and clean. The property is well-maintained and the backyard feels like you're a million miles away even though it's conveniently located. We did not get the chance to use the fire pit, but would love to the next time we stay. Overall, a great experience, and we would book again!

The perfect stop
From SW Florida to Charleston, Asheville, over to Ellijay then to Vero Beach Florida, then back to SW Florida. This stop was the perfect place to stay for a few days while touring Asheville. Great communication, private, and clean. Big bathroom, private parking spot, and quiet.

Cozy Room on the edge of Ashville
We were in town to visit the Biltmore and explore the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Room and property are perfectly maintained by Ken and Patti. The hosts were very helpful with location and attractions information in the Ashville area. This is is a nice quite location just minutes from anywhere in Ashville. Good access to the Biltmore or to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We will definitely be staying here again when we visit Ashville next.

Peace Among the Lilies
The cottage porch looks out into a well-maintained garden featuring various types of lily in addition to other flowers, shrubs, and trees. After day trips to the trails and tubing of Bryson City (~1 hr) and to Asheville for wandering or running, just sitting in a mosquito-free chair+foot rest and sipping a drink while looking at this vista was perfect!

Quiet & Peaceful place.
Warm welcome from the hosts greeted us to this quiet suite around back. Clear and simple directions and easy checkin. Lovely and large room with many amenities. Big bathroom with strong water pressure. Nice private porch, too. We took the hosts suggestion and took the Trolley in Asheville for a 2-hour tour. Twenty minutes to Biltmore Estate. Ken and Patti were so pleasant and friendly and the private suite around the back was just so very well done. Relaxing, private and quiet place. Highly recommend. Thanks!

It is hard to find an affordable place to stay in Asheville and Top of the Knob doesn't disappoint. It is very spacious, far larger than a hotel room and the front porch is nice and a great place to just sit and enjoy. We were about 15 min from downtown which was very doable. Highly recommend. The garden is fabulous too!

First Visit to Asheville
Ken and Patti were perfect host giving us the privacy we wanted, and attentive to our needs and questions. Top O' The Knob provided a wonderful "Get Away" accommodations for us to explore Asheville for the first time. It was was quiet and comfortable with a great view from the front porch. Unfortunately, Mother Nature gave us a chilly windy week, so we were not able to enjoy the porch or firepit area. Hope to do that the next time we're visiting Asheville area. Only 10 to 20 minutes away from the Biltmore and other Asheville destination.

Christmas in Ashville
We arrived at around 9pm Christmas day! Our hosts called ahead to a Chinese restaurant to make it was open for takeout . Even at the late hour they greeted us from the porch. The property is as described and very clean. This pair are experienced hosts, by all means, ask them anything they know everything . We were close to everything we wanted to do and very pleased. The only drawback is the approach to the neighborhood which can look a little rundown. The property itself, however, is impeccably kept.

About the host

Hosted by Ken Cross and Patti Sharp

Host profile image
Ken moved to the area in 1982 from Florida, and Patti arrived 10 years later. We met in 1996 and have been together ever since. In 2007, we bought our West Asheville home on the top of our Knob because of the spectacular view and privacy. Ken retired in 2008, and Patti is semi-retired. Patti is a part-time potter and has her studio in the basement of the home. Ken enjoys photography, and we both love to travel and are scuba divers. We love to host our guests at The Top O' The Knob Chalet, and hope to meet and help our guests learn more about Asheville. We've been hosting Guests since 2015 and we'd love to have you stay with us!
