About this property

"Half Way To Heaven" ~ Our custom designed and built three story home makes for an awesome mountain getaway to enjoy all the high country has to offer!

The house was thoughtfully designed by the same architects that designed the Nantahala Outdoor Center. This is very evident as the house purposefully brings the outdoors inside through the use of extensive windows, open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and material construction.

Through the many large windows you will become part of the high county and experience one of the most phenomenal panoramic mountain views in the region! On the deck there is virtually zero light interference from surrounding communities as the property borders and overlooks the Pisgah National forest which makes the stars that much brighter for evening relaxing and amateur astronomy gazing. Also, keep an eye out for the wildlife that frequents the property like deer, the occasional bear, and of course the blue ghost fireflies and white squirrels!

The house floor plan and four bedrooms are open and tastefully decorated and furnished with luxury linens and toiletries, and everything you will need for a comfortable worry-free stay. There are three flat screen HD TV's which are equipped with internet streaming to easily access Hulu (with live TV), Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon programming. The large open gourmet kitchen includes tons of cooking and serving utensils to make whatever meal your heart desires plus there is a Webber gas grill on the back porch. The road to the home is well maintained, however, a 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended during periods of snow or ice accumulation.

The high country hosts many seasonal favorites with downtown music and summer festivals. Luckily this house is just minutes from the Asheville airport and Sierra Nevada Brewery and only 20 minutes each from downtown Asheville, downtown Hendersonville, or downtown Brevard! Convenient activities include: hiking, mountain biking, walking, fly fishing, river rafting, horseback riding, shopping, fine dining, outdoor plays, and brewery, winery, and cidery hopping, just to name a few. Don't forget the farmers markets, and historical sites like the Biltmore Estate, Carl Sandburg home, and Flat Rock Playhouse!

There are so many fun adult and kid friendly choices of things to do in the area, and with this house you are next to them all BUT also get to enjoy the feeling of total seclusion if you just want to get away from it all and relax.

** No RV's, 5th wheels, busses, campers, or trailers allowed. Thanks!

*** lot's of small kid toys available, just ask before stay and we can have them available for kid play.

Beautiful Property. Amazing views.

It is located at the top of a beautiful mountain. I recommend getting in there during day time so you can get familiarized with the road easier. The house is properly equipped with all you need for 8 people. We had a little problem with the water pressure but it was a general problem with the well pump. Owner found out about the problem and unfortunately the schedule for the repair had to be after my stay. Other than that was great. Thank you!

Spectacular!

This was our 3rd stay at Brad’s and we’re hoping to stay here again next summer! Beautiful house, has everything you need, and you can’t beat the view! The porch is our favorite place, cool summer mornings are refreshing and sunsets are spectacular! We also enjoyed the new puzzles!

Fantastic trip to the mountains!

Exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful Chalet in the mountains with amazing views! Countless deer and wildlife running through the property and Brad the owner was absolutely amazing. Everything as advertised and the pictures don't do it justice so do yourself a favor and give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. Will be back for sure!

wonderful home in a beautiful setting

The house is perfect for multigenerational or two families. The ratio of common space to private space is perfect. The house is immaculate, has everything you could need, and the owner was very responsive. Views are amazing from the deck and indoors as well. Love the radiant heat floors. Location worked well for us as nothing we wanted to do was more than half an hour away. Thank you for letting us share your house with us.
