Charming, private cabin on a mountainside yet close to local attractions. We were greeted by wood thrush song and a bear sighting! The high back porch was the perfect spot for coffee, birdwatching, or a good book. Comfy bed, separate lower level we didn’t use also has outdoor access. Great spot!

Loved our stay at Windy Ridge!

The property and location are just as described and we loved feeling like we were secluded in the woods but close to town and lots of things to do. We went to two breweries, took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, saw several waterfalls. We also enjoyed watching the bears eating acorns while we sat on the deck. It was also a great space for our dog with the fenced yard and decks. Would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area!

Wonderful porch and stay!

We so enjoyed our time at this lovely rental in Asheville. So close to city, yet tucked away in nature. We so enjoyed our time on the porch both day and night! Rodney was an excellent host and communicator! Can’t wait to come back again!

Amazing Asheville!

Our stay at High Windy was wonderful! We were in town for a family wedding at the Biltmore and the location was perfect - only about 15 minutes from away. We also have friends in the area and enjoyed the fabulous hiking trails. The road up the the house is very steep and narrow but otherwise we loved the house and would definitely recommend!

So inviting & comfortable. We spent most of the time on the covered (deck) porch with ceiling fans in the butterfly forest. Adorable home with high-end finishes. The pics don’t do it justice. So close to town, yet far enough away. 4 stars

perfect spot

We stayed here while waiting for our custom home to be built, and loved it. The location is great, because it is convenient to Asheville and Black Mountain, yet you feel miles away when at the house. Great mountain views from the porch which is where we spent our time in the evenings. The hosts were great, helpful, friendly and accessible. Highly recommended!

Awesome mountainside house!

This house had everything, and it was clean and super-comfortable! Upstairs you have a modern kitchen, living room with reclining sofa, bedroom with king bed, walk-in closet with washer and dryer, and bathroom with shower. Downstairs is similar, but with a smaller kitchen and tub/shower. A wrap-around deck provides gorgeous views.
