About this property

Solitude Ridge, the name says it all.

In 15 minutes you can rideshare to vibrant downtown Asheville with some of the country's best breweries. Afterwards, you can grill and relax on your completely private deck.
After quiet morning coffee in a rocking chair on the front porch, you could wander into the wild forest before grabbing breakfast in Black Mountain 10 minutes away.

This simple home is the perfect place for your party of 7 to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of authentic Appalachia.

About the Space
Ample comfortable outdoor seating and plenty of space to lounge around, do yoga, and read a good book. Board games, books and Roku sticks to enjoy by the gas fireplace and a fully equipped workspace for those who need to take care of business.

Guest access
You'll have the whole house and backyard, as well as walking access (up the steep and wild mountain) to our little flat spot with a view at the top of our two acres.

Of Note:
The steep, paved driveway can add an exciting element for those who enjoy solitude in nature! Unfortunately it cannot accommodate guests with RVs or large trailers.

There are stairs inside the home that are not suitable for young children, as they have a railing that children could easily climb through. We do not recommend that families with toddlers book our property. Thank you for understanding.

About the host

Hosted by Nicole Kendle

Sean and Nicole have been renting out our home in Swannanoa at least part time for over a decade. They love to travel and learn from new people every time they have the opportunity.

Why they chose this property

As a Warren Wilson College alum, Nicole fell in love with Swannanoa and the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The town is only fifteen minutes or less from landmarks like the Biltmore, the charming town of Black Mountain, and downtown Asheville.

What makes this property unique

Solitude Ridge is special and secluded. It sits high up on the mountain surrounded by flora and fauna, with ample outdoor space for relaxing and enjoying the sounds of nature.
