About this property

Mountain Vista Retreat: Spectacular Sunset Mountain View! Hot Tub! Privacy!

Perched alone atop a mountain on 4 private acres sits Mountain Vista Retreat. Surrounded by a sea of native mountain laurel, this completely renovated home boasts 3 bedrooms & 3 baths. The spacious deck located at the back of the house allows for 180° views and a nearly unobstructed sunset view. It seems like you're wonderfully isolated, yet the house is only 20 minutes to Hendersonville and Lake Lure and 35 minutes to Asheville.

The open concept great room combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas, making it the perfect spot for the family to gather. The kitchen features custom cabinetry and quartz countertops with GE Slate appliances. Dinnerware, glassware, utensils, and pots & pans are provided for your use. Just a quick stop for provisions at one of the nearby grocery stores, and you are ready to prepare a gourmet meal or burgers on the charcoal grill. A starter supply of coffee, creamer, and sugar are on hand for you, along with paper towels, hand towels, and a fresh sponge.

The large gas fireplace has a beautiful maple mantle, cut & polished by a local sawmill. Comfortable, casual furnishings surround this one of a kind art piece with a 55-inch flat screen TV mounted above it. A ceiling fan allows the cool mountain breezes to circulate through this room with its' ceiling soaring to 14'.

The 1st master bedroom in the loft features a king bed, a 39-inch flat screen TV, a ceiling fan, and a private bath. Shutters between the loft and the living area below allow the guests to choose their own degree of privacy. The bath has his & hers sinks and a full sized tub/shower with a subway tile surround and a floor of travertine marble. Through the french doors, you will have a private veranda with a bistro set, perfect for enjoying the sunset views with a champagne toast.

The lower level 2nd master bedroom has a king bed, 48-inch flat screen TV, ceiling fan & a private bath. A door leading outside allows private entry (and exit!) to the back deck and hot tub. This en-suite bath features a walk-in shower tiled with a glass accented carrara style tile, dual vessel sinks, granite countertop, and crystal chandeliers for a little added bling.

The bedroom on the main level has 2 extra long twin beds. The bath across the hall with a walk-in shower serves the main floor and this bedroom. A sliding door leads to the back deck, hot tub and views, views, and views!

It is these glorious mountain views that are the main focal point of Mountain Vista Retreat. Sliding doors from the living room lead to the 10'x39' main deck. There is a charcoal grill & an iron table with seating for 6. A chest provides storage for the cushions, allowing you comfortable seating for the nightly show!

Extending out from the main deck is an 8'x16' deck, which hosts the 6-person Dr.Wellness jetted hot tub. Whether a romantic getaway or a family reunion, the beautiful sunsets enjoyed from this spot will create lasting memories.

The fire pit in the side yard is the perfect spot for s'more fun (ingredients provided), with a covered wood pile nearby.

From the rocking chair front porch, which is the perfect place to sip a cup of coffee and greet the sun as it peeks over the tree-tops, to the back deck where you see the sun set behind the mountain tops, Mountain Vista Retreat is surrounded by nature! Towering tulip poplars, maples, pines, and oaks, in addition to the mountain laurels nestled beneath, provide coverage for the birds and wildlife that call this place home.

Conveniently located between Hendersonville and Chimney Rock, Mountain Vista Retreat is 12 miles from Lake Lure, 20 minutes from downtown Hendersonville, and 35 minutes from Asheville The Biltmore Estate, the area's number one attraction, is only a 35-minute drive. Other major attractions close by include DuPont Forest State Park, the Carl Sandburg House, Chimney Rock State Park, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are too many hiking trails and waterfalls to mention all, along with many farm stands selling fresh locally grown produce (during season). The area apple orchards are open from August through October, and several of these are an easy 5-10 minute drive from Mountain Vista Retreat! While the road leading up to the house is paved, because of the steepness of the road, we recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle during winter stays.

We take pride in providing "the best" for our guests.

Best Cozy Vacation!
We had the most wonderful time at this cabin. The cabin itself is even better than the photos. Everything is labeled, easily accessible and organized in the house. The beds were really comfy, lots of places to sit and hangout. We really enjoyed ourselves.

The property is in a nice location. It is overall a nice place. There were some weird stains on the walls and cobwebs, which is strange considering there is a cleaning fee. The bigger issue however: we were told 90 minutes prior to checking in that the hot tub was not working. We only book places with hot tubs so this was quite a disappointment. We asked the owner to get it fixed. She had someone out the next day who said it was working, but it was not. When we contacted her again she had me out under the deck in the dark and the cold trying to trouble shoot. Not exactly how we expect to spend a vacation. She never got the hot tub working. After some back and forth with the owner trying to guilt us about how much money they get a cut of from VRBO (as if that is our concern?) and how we could have found another place to stay (with 90 minutes notice?) she gave us some money back, but not as much as we thought fair. We wouldn’t even consider this property had it not been for the hot tub. We won’t be coming back. And beware - you may not get all the amenities you paid for.

Mountain view
If you love to be tucked away in the mountains but just a short drive to the city for art, history and good food, then this place is for you. My husband and I stayed here for a week. It was private, quiet and the mountain view from the back was amazing. You can even enjoy it in the hot tub.

Quiet getaway spot with beautiful views
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The property was exactly as depicted. The two masters, with en suites made it perfect for a getaway with friends, Our hosts thought of everything we barely needed to go to the store, and that was only for snacks. We would highly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a quiet getaway in close proximity to Asheville and Hendersonville both of which have breweries , hiking trails and excellent places to eat .

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne and Marty Kelly

Host profile image
Suzanne & Marty met & fell in love while working at an Eco-resort on the island of St.John in the US Virgin Islands. After much deliberation about where to make our permanent home ( and even more on where we shouldn't) we decided on the mountains of North Carolina. We moved here after our island wedding in 2004 and have never regretted our decision.

Why they chose this property

The house is located in the same sub-division that we now live in and we love life here. Both of us have had previous experience in guest relations, with Marty owning a bed & breakfast, and Suzanne working in hotel registration. We have always desired to enable others to better enjoy the mountains of Western North Carolina, and owning a vacation rental property allows us to do just that.

What makes this property unique

This home has million dollar views at an affordable price. The house sits on 4 private acres of beautiful mountaintop, yet is only nine miles away from the interstate, 20 minutes from Lake Lure, and 35 minutes from Asheville.
