Photos and Description of the Asheville vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Ask me about discount tickets to Biltmore Estate.

Come to Knob View Retreat and enjoy a relaxing vacation in this beautiful home with views out every window. The home has 3 bedroom suites, each with private ensuite bath and closet, perfect for the extended family or couples who enjoy vacationing together. Two of the suites have their own private covered porch to enjoy the refreshing mountain air and views and those glorious sunsets.

The house is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains at 2900 feet elevation within a small mountain community containing only 7 houses on 70 acres.

Privacy abounds and so does the wildlife (please don't shoot the turkeys that wander through).

Enjoy a relaxing stay on the porch or drive just 12 miles to downtown Asheville and enjoy shopping and restaurants in the 'Paris of the South'. The town of Black Mountain is just 9 miles in the other direction. Spend a day at the Biltmore Estate (13 miles) or go hiking on any of the miles of trails just minutes away. Want to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway? An entrance is just 10 minutes away.

Our house has beds to accommodate 6 adults or combination of adults and children totaling 6 people. With advance notice we can arrange for a crib or pack and play. No more than 6 people.

The last mile of road to the house is a gravel road which climbs 400 feet in elevation. A 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicle is not necessary but would be helpful. Front wheel drive vehicles with a low gear will get you there. Electric and hybrid vehicles with a CVT transmission or other transmissions without a low gear or other low HP vehicles are not advisable.

About Michael White

I am a real estate broker serving the WNC mountains area. Previously I served 9 years in the Army and spent 20 years writing computer software. We have lived in the Asheville area for 9 years and love it here. This house was our personal home until September 2011 when we moved into the second home that I've built. We love this home so much we decided to share it with others as a vacation rental. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did the 5 years we lived there.

Michael White purchased this house in 2006
Why Michael White chose Asheville

We didn't buy a vacation rental, we converted our own home when we moved. We built our home in this location because it is a beautiful site with privacy and mountain views but yet just minutes to everything one needs.

What makes this house unique

I enjoy the privacy and quite, you can hear the birds chirping, the squirrels rustling through the leaves, and the wind blow. At dusk the sunsets over the mountain range are to die for. At night the crickets will sing you to sleep. And of course the mountain views everywhere you look! Ahhhhh

Fabulous Weekend

Family, tranquil mountainside, wine on the deck. mmmmmm. Perfect sanctuary from which to launch excursions into Asheville and return to relax away from the busyness of everyday life.
I could really not find a fault in the house. Loved the galley kitchen-well designed, utilitarian space. Bedrooms are lovely, spacious and since each has its own en-suite, provided excellent privacy. Common area very comfy.
Though our entire transaction was completed via email/Internet, the owner was prompt and friendly with every request.
I highly recommend!

Beautiful mountain home with wonderful views in early spring (no leaves!). Quiet. Peaceful. Our girls are used to a tv in every bedrm - no complaints! We watched tv together or people read. Only conflict was 1 of the 3 bedrooms does not have a deck so they fought over who got the one with the deck! Beautifully decorated. An adventure going up & down the mountain - not for the lighthearted - or someone like me driving who is afraid of heights. My (new jersey born) husband enjoyed the challenge after years in flat Indiana! great grocery nearby that isn't a "tourist" trap but the regular town grocery. Convenient to tourist sites.... We covered the Biltmore, Chimney Rock, Grove Park Inn and downtown Asheville in our 2.5 dys. Ate breakfast & dinner in; Kim loved the waffles & Rich used the grille. Might bring sarah/foil with you in case of leftovers!

We stayed with another couple for a fun weekend getaway and were delightfully pleased with the condition of the cabin, not to mention the views from the ALL of the balconies. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone headed to Asheville in the future. Thanks for the great weekend!

Magnificent Mountaintop Home

5 of 5
Submitted: November 20, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
Magnificent is certainly the word to describe this incredible mountaintop home. The views are spectacular! Nestled into a heavily wooded mountaintop, this home was a perfect getaway for our adult family.
Unique to this home is the three very private bedroom/bath suites - two with incredible decks - providing our group of 3 couples exactly the privacy and togetherness we wanted. After a day of hiking and exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway and Smoky Mountains, the home was truly a haven. The kitchen had everything a chef would need including double ovens, huge refrigerator and freezer, granite countertops, etc. The great room featured a gas burning fireplace and walk-out 2nd floor deck where we relaxed atop the trees and listened to the calls of the wild. The sunsets and sunrises were spectacular!! We could not have asked for anything else. Our stay was from October 3-8, 2012.

We definitely give this home 5 stars!

Beautiful spot

5 of 5
Submitted: October 27, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We (from California) and good friends from the East Coast met up for 4 beautiful days in the Ashville area. The house was perfect for us and could easily accomodate a third couple. It is new and beautifully maintained. Beds were very comfortable...kitchen a dream!
Only suggestion would be to alert folks to get a 4 wheel drive to get up the last mile in the initial online description of the house. We had already rented a car through Price Line and could not change to a 4 wheel drive after learning of the steep and unpaved hill up to the property when directions were sent. Because we did not have appropriate cars, we chose, after having difficulty the first night navigating it in the dark, to bring our dinner back to the house. We loved the sunsets and beautiful fall views and were happy to settle in for the evening at the housel So...would definitely recommend the home and would definitely recommend having a four wheel drive to get to it. It was quite an adventure reaching it!! Loved driving the Blueridge Parkway and seeing the Biltmore House.

Owner's Response: I'm pleased you enjoyed your visit and found the house to your liking. I've added a heads up to my listing concerning the road. While 4 WD is not required, the road can be intimidating to those who have no experience driving mountain roads and a 4WD or AWD vehicle would certainly improve their mountain driving experience.

Great Mountain Retreat

Submitted: September 4, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
This is a secluded mountain view property. My husband and I stayed there and felt that it was very comfortable. The house was clean and had gorgeous mountain views. It's located closed enough to Asheville for all the activities, but far enough away to "unplug". We also really enjoyed Okie Dokie's BBQ in nearby Swannanoa (owners recommendation).

Owner's Response: Kara, glad you and your husband enjoyed your stay at our house. The privacy and views are a popular theme from the guests who have stayed at Knob View Retreat. It is located in the forest but close enough to all that Asheville has to offer.

My family and I were in Asheville to attend a wedding. After researching hotels in the area, I thought the better bet would be to rent a home, cook our own food, give us some space (my kids are ages 5,8 & 9) and enjoy our time.

Our expectation were exceeded. This proporty is unique, clean, furnish and designed well and I'm grateful that we were able to call this house home for a few days. We were depressed to come back to the flatlands Chicago after our stay here.

The positives that stuck out in my mind that made the diffrence - Dual Air Conditioners, nearby Supermarket - Covered porches, Floor to Celing windows - Kohler plumbing fixtures - LG Stainless Steel Appliances - Washer & Dryer - towels - sheets (5) Ceiling Fans - Pots, Pans, forks, knifes and a wine bottle opener. :-)

This place is 100% quality - highly recommended.
