About the host
Hosted by Marilyn Ferrell
Asheville has been our home for 45 years. Rick first came here to work after graduating from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC where he fell in love with the mountains. I joined him a few years later when I fell in love with him and the mountains.
Early in our marriage, we spent weekends driving on the BR Parkway, hiking, and having picnics at various overlooks. When we found this home, we realized there was no better view anywhere and being only 5 minutes from downtown, the location was perfect. I grew up in the country and this home reminds me of my childhood home. It feels like a world away from civilization tucked away at the top of the mountain surrounded by beautiful nature and peace and quiet.
Asheville is also known as Paris of the South. I taught French for over 30 years and we have traveled extensively throughout France. We both share a love for Europe, France especially – Paris, of course, but also Provence, the Riviera, and all the wine regions (Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy). We love the Biltmore House, the eclectic city-life of Asheville, hiking, and staying active, fit, and healthy.
Since we spend a lot of time at the coast and traveling, we have decided to let others enjoy our home while we are away. We love our quiet little neighborhood and hope that our guests will find this hidden gem as mesmerizing and addictive as we have and that they will want to return.

Why they chose this property
We chose this home because of its location (close to town, top of the mountain, facing due south, 3000 ft elevation, private, secluded and in a natural setting). It was a perfect blend of our desire to live in the country yet to be only 3 miles from the city. The first time we saw the property at dusk and watched the view change from beautiful mountains to a sea of lights, we were in love with it.
What makes this property unique
Our mid-century home offers unique features such as large diamond-shaped windows and wood ceilings with beams which harmonize with the natural surroundings, much like Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy of integrating nature into living spaces. The hickory floors add warmth and character while the rock fireplace w/gas logs serves as a cozy spot for snuggling on chilly evenings. The expansive decks and cool covered front porch provide excellent opportunities for outdoor living and enjoying the stunning views that change with the seasons and times of day. Skye Haven is a cherished home that offers a unique blend of comfort, style, and connection to nature. It is a perfect place to celebrate a honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, or just a romantic getaway from the busy world.
