Enjoy the open and airy layout. Main floor has a deck with high wood ceilings, a grill, heat lamp, tv, room to relax and outdoor dining. Step inside to a gourmet kitchen with Bosch appliances, 2-zone beverage fridge, blender, instant pot, sous vide appliance, and all the gadgets. There's dining for 4 at the bar and 8 at the table. The living area has a seating in front of a 60" linear FP, and 65" tv. MBR with king bed, tv, desk and attached 3/4 bathroom. Also, on main level is a powder room and a full-sized W/D.

Downstairs has 2 more bedrooms with kings. One BR has attached 3/4 bathroom, and the other BR is convenient to a hall bathroom that includes a deep tub and shower combination. The media room has another desk/chair, a loveseat that has 2 pull-out twin beds, futon, and a tv. Outside the media room is a patio with saltwater hot tub, outdoor shower and more seating surrounding the firepit. Bundle of wood provided for you.

The 3 bedrooms have blackout shades. Ceiling fans are in every bedroom, living room, media room, and on the deck.

Guest access
Our house is situated on 1 acre at the top of the ridge at the end of a private road. There is parking in front of the house. Drive to the bottom of our street, and there is the lake beach area with picnic tables and parking. We have 2 kayaks racked at the beach area for your use.

We have the fastest internet that we can get in the woods and many streaming services including YouTubeTV for local channels, live sports, etc.
Other things to note
Our street is on the NC/SC border. On the SC-side across the street is the protected area of the Greenville Watershed so the house feels like it is on a nature preserve.

Beautiful, peaceful location.

A beautiful, peaceful location. Just a short drive/walk to Lake Shiela. The kitchen was very well equipped and the home very accessible for our needs. Kathleen was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this mountain retreat.

Wilderness Retreat!

This home was a gem hidden in plain sight! The location was perfect to relax but close enough to larger cities like Hendersonville and Asheville. The locals were friendly and welcoming too. I highly recommend this house for a get away from the daily hustle. Looking at the mountains, trees and beautiful landscapes create a serene experience.

About the host

Hosted by Kathleen Moore

I love to travel with my family and have stayed in many VRBO homes so I am excited to be able to share our vacation home with you and your guests.

Why they chose this property

We built this as a getaway. It's a 45-minute drive from our home in Greenville, SC, but the elevation is 2600' so we can get a reprieve in the summer, enjoy the leaves in the Fall and the winter holidays. It a great place for outdoor lovers.

What makes this property unique

It really feels like you're in a nature preserve and being at the top of the ridge at the end of the paved road, it is so private. The house is full of light and windows.
