Home in Swannanoa

Imagine being mere minutes from beautiful Downtown Asheville, the grand Biltmore Estate, and the picturesque Blue Ridge Parkway, but tucked away in your own private retreat. Enjoy an entire mid-century mountain home surrounded by the nature only Western North Carolina can offer. There is also a relaxing hot tub in a secluded area on the property. This house sits on a beautiful 4 acres of land with a mountain ridge on one side and a small creek on the other. There is something for everyone here! The space A lot of effort has been put into providing a comfortable space for travelers of all backgrounds. Whether you are a traveling family, traveling with friends, a solo traveler, or on a business trip, this accommodation has you in mind! There are actually three living rooms in this large house, each with a unique ambience (from classical to modern). There are four bedrooms that feature a minimalist, yet inviting quality. There is a full kitchen upstairs and a kitchenette downstairs. The flat-screen TV's are linked up to Apple TV boxes that have the ability to access your own accounts to common streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, YouTubeTV, Peacock, and Disney+. This Airbnb is unique as it features a gym (see picture for description). We also have a medical library/office that has been used by two physicians over the years, which is why there is a collection of authentic medical books dating back to the late 1800's! We have placed an eloquent lighting system in the fireplaces to create a relaxing ambience, therefore, giving the room a relaxing atmosphere. At the moment, we are unable to have fires lit in the indoor fireplaces as they are being updated.... but, we have an amazing outdoor fire pit with plenty of seating in a hand-made rock structure embedded into the mountainside! Almost all of our guests use the outdoor fire pit...it's a great place to relax and enjoy the ambience of the mountains. There are three full bathrooms throughout the house (featuring two tubs and one shower). For those bringing larger groups of guests, there are two additional queen size blow-up mattresses for anyone who wants extra space. At the bottom of the property, there is a creek that provides the relaxing sound of water whenever you are outside. The drive time to the entrance of the Blue Ridge Parkway is 9 minutes, Downtown Asheville is 12 minutes and the Biltmore Estate is about 15 minutes. A note about cleanliness: there has been a lot of effort to keep this area clean given the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Between each guest, we air out the house a with the fresh, mountain air from outside. Furthermore, a large HEPA filter is continuously on that cleans the air several times each day. The filters in the heating/AC unit are of the highest grade that could be purchased on the consumer market. Even our water filter is an amazing iSpring 5 stage system that also runs the water through a UV light; therefore, making it some of the purest mountain water you'll ever taste! Guest access There is a ground level entrance, a stairway leading to the upstairs entrance, and a backdoor that leads into the gym. If you arrive late in the evening when it's dark, we recommend using the ground level entrance as the other entrances involve steps that may be a bit tricky to navigate at night. Other things to note If vehicles are parked appropriately, up to 8 vehicles can fit into the driveway. Although pets are an important, joyful part of many people's lives, we unfortunately are not able to accommodate pets in this Airbnb at this time. An additional $200 fee (+ expenses for any damages) will be assessed if a pet is brought onto the property without permission. No smoking or vaping is permitted in this Airbnb. If this occurs, then damages will be added onto the overall fee.
