About this property

Owl’s Nest Cozy Mtn Hideaway. Game Rm & Yoga-Meditation Rm. 25 min to AVL!

Come enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Owl’s Nest in Mars Hill, NC. The perfect retreat for family and friends to explore the Blue Ridge Mountains. Nestled in the hills of Madison County, less than a 25-minute drive to downtown Asheville! Picture a hot cup of coffee with a gorgeous view before heading out for an adventurous day. Have lunch in a nearby town, then return to the Owl's Nest to grill out on the deck and play games and share laughs in the basement designed for just those things!

The space
The Owl’s Nest is a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 3-level house with a newly-renovated basement. The views from the great room and off the front deck are stunning. The open layout is perfect for preparing meals, dining, hanging out, and enjoying time with family and friends. There is a gas grill and dining table on the back deck as well. If you’re on the porch on a clear evening, don’t forget to look up to the sky… the stars out here are breathtaking! Listen closely and you may be fortunate to hear our home’s namesake echoing through the trees.
The main level features a master suite with a separate porch and outdoor sitting area. The en suite features a full-service coffee station so you can enjoy a cup of coffee outside on the porch before ever leaving the bedroom! The upstairs features two bedrooms and one full bathroom. One bedroom offers a queen bed, while the other has a full bed with a twin trundle as well as a twin bunk house-bed that the kids are sure to fight over. This bedroom was designed for children, but also serves as wonderful room for adults!
The basement is an awesome entertaining area. There is one bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom. There is shuffleboard, air hockey, and room to relax and have a cold beverage. It is a walkout basement with space to hangout outside when the weather is nice. We offer a yoga/meditation area in the rounded front nook so get your Namaste on before hitting the trails or exploring one of the many downtowns in the area.
There is high speed internet throughout the house. We have Roku built-in smart TV’s in both the great room and basement. Just use the guest account to log in to your subscriptions and enjoy movies, shows, or a game in the basement while battling it out on the air hockey table.

Guest access
We are on 3+ acres, most of which is wooded, but there is a ton of space to explore. There is plenty of parking in the driveway and garage. Guests have full access to the house (grill, washer/dryer, board games, shuffle board, air hockey table, etc...). Don't forget to play Klask!

Other things to note
We do have a steep driveway. It does NOT require 4 wheel drive to get up, but we did want to mention it in case you are visiting in the winter months. If there is ice or snow, we recommend parking in the cul-de-sac at the bottom of the drive and walking up. (We know that's not ideal, but... it's good exercise and there's probably a cold beer waiting in the fridge.)

Family Christmas
The location, amenities, and cleanliness was on point! Great games for the kids, space to lounge around, and close to Biltmore Estate. We had a blast! Would recommend to anyone!

Beautiful Location - Peaceful and Quiet
The house was a good size and had plenty of living and dining space. The kitchen was a little small, but trying to fit 10 adults in any size kitchen is hard to do. Our only complaint was that the home really couldn't accommodate 10 adults unless everyone was part of a couple. There was one king bed and 3 queens and two twins. We had two single adults and there was no way they could fit in the two twin beds. Luckily we brought an air mattress which accommodated one of the single people. There were plenty of towels, and blankets and we also brought some with us. It was a little cold in the house but we finally figured out the heating system and ultimately we were very comfortable. The owners are very conscientious recyclers and we liked that a lot! We had one beautiful rainy day where we just hung out and played games. Very nice getaway for a family vacation.

Goodrum Thanksgiving Vacation
We filled Owl’s Nest with the laughter of kids, the aroma of delicious meals and the love of family as we gathered for meals, games and football. Perfect house to accommodate a group who gathers to share experiences from the days adventures at nearby breweries and hiking trails. Lots of space for everyone to create with the kids, nap, eat and watch TV or put together a puzzle. We will definitely be back this way again to once again spread out in this multi level home nestled in the beautiful mountains of Mars Hill is a quiet area.
