About this property

Mountaintop suite, mountain views, one level, King bed, pet friendly, accessible

Welcome to Anam Cara! Soul Friend (in Gaelic). This is the place for your soul to find peace. Our home is on a mountain ridge surrounded by forest. We look out over miles and miles of mountains and valleys. Deer, turkeys, and bears make occasional visits. Our home is a destination in itself.

This is a one level ground floor suite: one bedroom, living room, kitchen and full bath with laundry. These are all your private areas to use and are completely separate from the main house. There are beautiful views from all of the oversized windows. Outside, enjoy looking out over the top of the world and at night sit by a fire under the stars. Views are all year. Gaze out over the mountain, at eye-level with soaring hawks, vultures and eagles, and take in the silence of the sky. Sometimes we are above the clouds. Sometimes we are in the clouds! It is a different view every day.

The apartment is all one level, smooth woodgrain tile floors with no stairs from entry or inside. Enjoy the full-sized kitchen (large frig/freezer for the trout you catch), cozy king size bed and in the living room a sleeper sofa that opens to a twin if needed. A desk for writing a post card to the grandchildren or setting up your laptop has its own little nook. Many board games, puzzles, Dish network (2 TVs) and internet/WIFI are provided for rainy days. A full size kitchen has a refrigerator, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave, toaster, 3 choices of coffee makers, small blender, mixer, and a crockpot. It is fully supplied with pots, pans, dishes and basics for cooking and cleaning. The bathroom has a full shower/tub. Laundry has washer/dryer, iron and board. Linens, towels and basic soaps are included. A wood firepit with a grill top and a gas grill are provided so you can cook out at the semi-covered outdoor area. One bundle of firewood per night's stay is supplied. Extra bundles of firewood can be requested for an additional fee of $6 per bundle. Month long renter includes weekly cleaning, change of linens and towels.

Hike the roads and trails in the gated community or the adjoining Headwaters State Forest. Go fly fishing in the rivers, shopping in town, visit the art dealers, local camps (Carolina Point is very close), tube the rivers and so much more and then come back to your home away from home!

Beautiful Oasis

This home is the perfect retreat to the mountains. It had everything you could think of and Ursula and Frank were very thoughtful hosts including a personal note, fresh baked bread when we arrived, and helping us start a campfire after a big rainstorm. They made it easy to have our dog with us. The views were amazing. We wish we could’ve stayed much longer!

What a beautiful spot!! We enjoyed sitting outside watching the sun set and the stars come out. We had several meals sitting outside. The owners have gone to great lengths to make their guests feel welcome and at home. We stayed 4 nights and think this would be ideal for a long-term stay. The views from every room are stunning. They have a binder with many pages of useful information about activities in their area, which was especially helpful for our last minute trip. The home is located in a gated neighborhood of large lot properties in easy driving distance to activities in every direction.

Spectacular Trip

My pup and I absolutely adored staying here. It was homey, safe, with gorgeous views, and an epic location for hiking. Would love to return! Nice touches like fresh flowers and freshly baked bread. Also having laundry available after all those hikes was a great advantage. Thanks for everything!

The only thing wrong with our stay…. It was not long enough. We hated to have to leave. Owners were super nice and offered every convenience possible. Arrived to homemade bread, that was delicious! The place was super clean and so peaceful and relaxing!! Woke up every morning to a view that left you breathless! We will definitely be coming back.

A Wonderful Respite

We had a few quiet days of "life restoration" in this beautiful location! Fly fishing for my husband, walking and solitude for me. The owner's recommendations in their guest book for dining were excellent, and for places to hike and fish. If you desire a more active vacation, there's plenty close by! We were blessed by our time there :-)

This property is absolutely excellent. Located in a gated area (security) this rental is the bottom half of a large well maintained home, and if you're concerned about privacy because of that, you needn't be. We didn't hear a sound from our hosts Ursula and Frank, until we invited them down to make our acquaintance. We had a great time talking with them too ---so very friendly and down to earth. On top of that, you'll really appreciate the quiet and privacy they offer. Next...If you want mountain views, you'll have it from every room. A large picture window in the kitchen area actually makes cleaning your dishes a treat, and if you forgot something, its probably in one of the drawers. We took notice to that immediately. The thought they gave to the 'little things". The living area has a very comfortable chair with a massage feature, and a sofa and dining table. And again a nice view of the mountains as well. In the bedroom, there is a comfortable king size bed, and to us, has got to be a California King...its Big. The bathroom has plenty of space and water pressure is more than adequate. One other note about the inside, the one thing that really stood out was that it was absolutely spotless. Now about the outside, you'll have plenty of shade cover if you want it, or you can set the chairs out on the lawn. There is a big firepit with chairs and a picnic table and gas grill. All in all, we would highly recommend this property. You'll be very glad you did.

About the host

Hosted by Frank and Ursula Leahy

Host profile image
We have lived in the Brevard/Rosman area for 25 years and have raised our now adult children in this town. We were and are still drawn to its beauty and all of the outdoor activities it offers.

Why they chose this property

This home has a spectacular view of the mountains as well as an entirely new perspective of birds soaring and playing in the wind---straight in front of you! You will feel like you are flying with them. You might watch the clouds roll in over the valley and see it rain from a distance. You may find yourself cloaked in the clouds with only white in front of you! This home is a vacation in itself. You may never leave for your entire stay and simply soak in the peace and quiet. Everything you need is here. It has a full kitchen, comfortable bedroom and bath, TVs (DISH) and WIFI so that you still feel connected.

If you do venture into the forest there is the Headwaters State Forest, Pisgah Forest, The Music Center, Downtown Brevard shopping and dining, many local breweries. Fly-fishing and mountain biking are the best here.

What makes this property unique

Our one level living may make the difference in providing a vacation for folks with some physical limitations. We have no steps and have made the apartment as functionally accessible as possible.
