Perfect location

We watched this home being built just a few yards to the gate of our undeveloped property. We wanted to see if we enjoyed a longer stay in this somewhat remote area. The WE Retreat did not disappoint, in fact the stay far exceeded our expectations if the property. The home is a contemporary oasis in this remote mountain area. Beautifully appointed with everything we needed! We only wish the weather was not so cold so we could enjoy the incredible porch area. We would love ti stay here again in the future. As a frequent VRBO client this has been one of the most comfortable home we have rented!

Great Escape

The Wilderness Retreat was a wonderful place for my family (and dogs) to stay! We loved the location. Convenient to hiking and biking trails, Lake James, national parks, etc. The property is quietly tucked away in the woods and very private. We also enjoyed how clean and beautiful the house was. Perfect amount of space for our family both inside and out. Definitely will return!

Greybeard Rentals manages vacation rentals and vacation cabins in Asheville, Black Mountain, Montreat, Old Fort and surrounding areas. Located 10-15 minutes from downtown Asheville, Black Mountain is a quaint town with many great shopping options, delicious restaurants, breweries and access to hiking trails and wilderness areas. TripAdvisor named Black Mountain one of America's Prettiest Towns in 2017. Asheville is home to award-winning restaurants, stunning mountain views with access to areas like the Blue Ridge Parkway, The Biltmore Estate, and a variety of local art and culture. Oh, and did we mention Asheville has had the record for having more breweries per capita than any other U.S. city? We held the title for Beer City USA in 2009. Hiking trails are also located throughout western North Carolina.
