About this property

Open, cozy studio apartment getaway!

A studio/efficiency apartment with lots of natural light on the lower level of a recently built house in the beautiful, peaceful mountains of Western NC. It has one main/great room and a separate bathroom. Plus an outdoor patio that's a good spot to chill or eat dinner during good weather. In short, it's a great getaway that's still within 15-40 minutes of much to do. The area is filled with talented artisans of all kinds.

The community (High Cove) is equidistant from Bakersville, Burnsville and Spruce Pine, NC, each within 20 minutes. It's also convenient to Penland School of Craft (15 minutes), and about 40 minutes from Mount Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi. Spending a day in Asheville is also an option. It's a very tourist friendly town with shopping, restaurants, music, art, and more. Downtown Asheville is an hour away.

Guest access: the apartment is self contained with an entirely separate entrance. Other than (perhaps) sharing the washer/dryer in the utility room, the space is all yours.

PLEASE NOTE: we are located on wooded land with extensive hiking trails. Getting to the house requires traveling on a gravel road for about 2/10ths of a mile that is steep in spots. All the easier if you have an all-wheel drive vehicle.

Great studio apartment

This rental is terrific -- clean, quiet, and out in the country but with friendly neighbors. I stayed here while taking part in a workshop at Penland. The location was convenient, just 20 minutes from campus. I'd definitely stay again.

A real get away

This was a nice place for getting away and unwinding. Like everything in the Smoky Mountains, the route there is windy and curvy. But it’s a quiet small neighborhood once you arrive.

Cozy place, centrally located to great outdoor activities!

Kevin was a fantastic and hospitable host. He made me feel welcome amongst his friends and spent time conversing with me about himself. The location was beautiful and central to many hikes I had planned; Carvers Gap, Mt Mitchell and Linville Gorge. The studio apartment itself was everything I needed, a nice bed, warm shower and full kitchen. I would definitely come back!

This was perfect for my needs. Kevin made the place very homey and the land was magical. As beautiful as the rain forests of Costa Rica.

Great for one person or a couple.

Host (Kevin) was nice and very helpful. The property is one well-equipped room on the ground floor with with a galley kitchen and a nice bathroom with a shower. Amenities include on demand hot water, great water pressure, and a washer/ dryer. There is no TV, but wifi is fast and reliable. The property is located in an artist’s community called High Cove which is nestled among beautiful rolling hills. Penland is 15 minutes away. I enjoyed my stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Silva

Host profile image
I moved to the western NC mountains in late 2017 and spent about a year building a small (green built), efficient house in a beautiful and peaceful area in the Appalachian Mountains. I work for myself as a semi-retired voice actor, and also an active volunteer for multiple organizations. I've traveled a great deal and know what I look for in a good host. I provide the same to my guests.

Why they chose this property

This is a perfect place to get away. It's simple, comfortable, quiet, requires no-maintenance, connected to hiking trails ... and still only 15 minutes to an hour away from so much to do.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful mountain views. Quiet and peaceful.
