Better than the pictures! Come enjoy cool evenings and the tranquil beauty of our unique, artisan-built, 2-bedroom, 1-bath retreat. Nestled between the Blue Ridge Pkwy and Black Mtns, Casa Rosa sits on 8 acres conveniently located near artist studios, hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, and world-class fishing; Camp Celo, Penland School of Crafts and the Arthur Morgan School. Enjoy our woods, mountain views, an outdoor gazebo, a full kitchen and reliable wifi - just 15 minutes from Burnsville. Casa Rosa has a southwestern vibe, right smack in the middle of the Appalachians! It was built by a local artist using sustainable materials and innovative design and is filled with special touches like curved stucco walls, Spanish-tiled floors, hand-built windows and doors and even an enclosed wildflower grotto off the bathroom! The house has a full kitchen with dining table, living room, two bedrooms and a bath. The master bedroom features a luxurious king bed with a memory foam mattress. You will find ample storage space in the closets, and you can step out to its small back deck to take in the fresh mountain air. The second bedroom features two twin beds which can be configured in a number of ways and can be converted to a short king bed if desired. It has a large walk-in closet and also opens out to the back deck. The partially-covered front porch offers an inviting place to relax and enjoy the stunning natural surroundings. You can also savor a delightful outdoor meal in our gazebo, which features a wood-fired pizza oven. For your entertainment, we have provided a TV with streaming service and dedicated Wi-Fi. Cool and delicious water comes directly from a natural spring on our land. Guests have the entire house to themselves and private access to an outdoor pavilion. Casa Rosa is in a secluded corner of our 8 acre property, accessed by its own private driveway. We live through the woods on the same parcel. We are close enough to address any issues that may arise, but far enough for guests to have the privacy they desire. This is a family run property. We take pride in being immediately responsive when needs arise. Home is located in a rural area in the foothills of the Black Mountains, minutes from Mt. Mitchell and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Easily accessible from a well-maintained state road. Ample parking is provided at the end of a short private driveway. Walking trails are on the property as well as nearby in the Pisgah National Forest. All rooms are on one level, with parking on the same level. Perfect for those with limited mobility. Laundry and the outdoor "Pizza Hut" are down a flight of outside stairs. We have a wood burning stove for chilly nights or mornings for those experienced in heating with wood. IMPORTANT: Both the pizza oven and wood stove can only be used by those who have been instructed in their use and have signed a waiver.
