The Ecusta Trail House is a rustic two bed one bath house built originally as a flower barn, and has since been fully renovated into a comfy vacation home. You will have the entire upstairs to yourself, the space below you is storage space. Our place is just 1.5 miles from down town Hendersonville, 40 minutes to downtown Asheville, and just 20-30 minutes to Brevard, Pisgah National Forest and DuPont State forest. The Ecusta Greenway is just a 5 minute walk from the house. Great central location! The space Guests may use the carport and entire yard on the right side of the house. This is not yet a fenced in yard, so please bring a leash for your pup. The barn doors below you are for storage only, not for guest use. ECUSTA TRAIL: The Ecusta trail is just a 5 minute walk or a one minute bike ride from the house. The Ecusta trail is an old railroad that is in the process of turning into a greenway path that connects Hendersonville and Brevard! Perfectly flat and open to walkers and bicyclers. PLEASE NOTE: most of the trail is open to the public however, not all of it is paved yet (mostly still gravel) so please use at your own caution. The trail on the Brevard side has not started yet. PROVIDED AMENITIES: I will provide K-kups, ground coffee with filters, cream, sugar, paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, conidtioner, body wash, laundry supplies, and trash bags for the duration of your stay. SMOKING: This is a non smoking home. Smoking OUTSIDE is allowed, but please dispose of cigarette butts. PET FEE IS $45. We are a two dog MAX house, and unfortunately cannot allow cats. I do have a double dog bowl for food and water. TV: Our house does have high speed internet and a smart TV in the living room and master bedroom. PLEASE NOTE: we do not have cable channels. COOLING: The house has AC window units in each room. There are box fans in each closet for additional cooling. HEATING: the living room and dining room are heated by a tall gas heater in the dining room. There is also a smaller gas heater in each bedroom with detailed instructions on how to operate them. Firewood is not something that I provide regularly but all local grocery stores sell bundles of wood. Guest access Guests can access the house from the staircase on the left side of the house. The lower level with the barn doors under the carport is for storage only, not for guest use. Guests can pull under the car port or park in the gravel in front of the carport if it is a taller vehicle. Other things to note Although we do regular cleanings between each guest, we still ask that guests try to keep dogs off of the furniture so that we can prolong the quality and cleanliness of our pillows, quilts, comforters, and couches.
