About this property

This is a remarkable and unforgettable luxury home with so many interesting and comfortable rooms that it’s hard to imagine the experience by just the photos. It’s available every other Friday for 3 to 7 night bookings. The Master Bedroom wing is 1000 square feet with 14 foot ceilings and the library on the south end of the home also has the 14 foot ceilings and is just stunning.

Enjoy 5 additional common area rooms (dining, formal dining, kitchen, TV Room, living room), and a brand new screened in porch overlooking the back yard and sunset views. Explore the property and more than a mile of private trails. The common area room that has a sleeper sofa has 3 doors that close for privacy and doesn’t interrupt the flow of traffic through the rest of the home.

The sunset is just lovely. The wildlife and birds will make you relax in this very peaceful setting. It truly is amazing and it is less than 12 minutes and just 9 miles to the center of downtown Asheville!

Extraordinary Experience

Billsmore far exceeded our expectations in every way possible. From the approach to the front of the home to the thorough investigation of every nook and cranny inside the house, including the porches, patios, and balconies, the entire family was simply blown away by the homeowner's attention to luxurious detail. Since this trip was our family's first annual vacation to celebrate the birth of our first grandchild, we wanted it to be special. This home with its expansive common spaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms afforded family members the opportunity to either gather together comfortably or spend time in solitude. We were so infatuated with this home that we elected to make the most of the well-equipped chef's kitchen each evening, preparing the family's favorite dinner recipes before adjourning to the patio to see the breathtaking sunsets. Thank you, Bill, for making this vacation a truly extraordinary experience!

Lovely WNC Property

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is beautiful with antique furniture, wood floors, and many gathering rooms. A great gas stove and capacious fridge and freezer rounds out a large kitchen with room for family members to cook together. The grounds and views around the house were lovely and our dogs enjoyed their walks in nature. There is only one drawback to the property - it is not suitable for older people who have any difficulty with stairs. The steps leading into the house are steep and have no handrail, the beds are very high and have no ladders, the toilets are very low and there are no safety rails in the showers. A suggestion to the owner about the well-equipped kitchen: the pots, pans, and cooking utensils are badly organized in the kitchen cabinets and drawers and some items needed cleaning before use. However, there were more than enough glassware, cutlery, and dishes to allow for our family’s meals. We would love to stay at this property again if it were more elderly-friendly.

Family trip

This house was really cool. The adults loved the library and the back screened in porch. The kids enjoyed having their own space in the converted garage and exploring the house and the property. The house was very convenient to downtown. We would stay there again. Also, we did see a bear in the yard, but he didn’t bother us.

Beautiful home, lots of room, very convenient...

Lovely home with nice views and so much space! We were celebrating our son's 30th birthday, and had such a nice visit, it's easy to get into town and Weaverville is so close. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms are spacious. Bill was easy to communicate with, his home is a beautiful vacation spot.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Russell

I am the owner of this home and proud to present it to my guests as my second high end luxury home to the VRBO market. It's been nearly 2 years since I purchased this home and have worked hard on turning it into a really amazing vacation experience. This 50-year-old colonial home went through major improvements and expansions in 2004, and I am making constant improvements to the property to make it more like an outdoor living room with the amazing wooded and park like setting. It's really just stunning.

Why they chose this property

This property provides space for quiet reflection inside and out. A great place for a large family or 4 couples to get away to enjoy the area...and have just as much fun enjoying and appreciating where they are staying. I'll be adding more photos as improvements and projects are completed but it's ready to rent and will be a great experience for many.

What makes this property unique

Many homes advertise being "close" to Asheville, but this home is 9 miles from the front gate to the center of downtown. There is only one stop sign, and then it's smooth sailing down I-26 into downtown Asheville when you'll come to your first light. I've made the trip in 11-12 minutes.

That being said...when you see the entrance gate and turn into the property, you will be amazing as you drive down the 100-yard driveway to the circular driveway and the grand front porch where you might just want to sit back and watch nature with a cold beverage.
