This unique fully-renovated 8200 sqft property boasts ample entertaining space both indoors and out and 9 bedrooms with accommodations for 22+ guests. Set only 10 minutes from the Asheville airport, 3 minutes from excellent trout fishing and 15 minutes to the main entrance of Pisgah Forest, this property allows you to experience what makes the Blue Ridge mountains special. What sets this property apart is the gorgeous meadow setting surrounded by forest and mountains that is close to everything but feels miles away. The high ceilings, large windows and incredible views overlooking a private pond framed by mountains and mature oaks is sure to delight. In the prodigious outdoor space, you'll have exclusive use of over 5 acres of land with enormous decks, fire pits, a covered picnic area and a running stream-fed pond with dock. This former conference center and architecturally significant home is divided into three separate indoor living spaces connected by light-filled hallways: \- Great Room/Dining Pod with a dining table for 24, chef's commercial kitchen, and luxurious seating area with 65" Smart TV. \- Entertainment Pod with two tiered seating and projector for movie nights and sporting events \- The Sleeping Pod with nine individual bedrooms (4 king, 3 queen, 1 trundle bed, and bunk room that sleeps 6) There is also a dedicated office space with high speed fiber internet for those who need to do a little work before they play and a small living area as you enter the Sleeping Pod.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kindling Meadows, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were here for a women’s retreat with our church and needed a place to accommodate over 20 women. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, providing clear instructions for check-in and answering any questions we had promptly. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. There was a moment where we needed help with the grill and got an immediate response with some help. The place was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The atmosphere was cozy, and inviting, with aesthetically, pleasing decor that made the place feel like a peaceful retreat. We all had an amazing stay, and would highly recommend anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle free experience. ##### TATIANA R. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Connie B. 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### family summer fun Enormous house. Very clean and nicely maintained. Our family of 16 had more than enough space to be together for smore-making outside or inside playing ping-pong. The smaller children had their own playroom stocked with toys, books and games. There is a camp-like vibe for the bathrooms. No ensuite baths. There are two private bathrooms, 2 bathrooms with two shower stalls, a toilet and double sinks in both. There is also a separate men's and ladies' 1/2 bath at the entrance. Everyone adjusted without problem. Although the large common rooms can be noisy with a large group like ours, there are plenty of individual, cozy areas to sit and read or talk. Joe was quite good at responding to my texts and making us feel welcome. All-in-all, our family had a wonderful time. The outdoor space was perfect. The grandkids loved the water and the little ones had their own water feature to wade and play in with the provided toys. Did I mention the hot tub? The family would love to return. Wonderful place to create family memories. Great location to Asheville, Brevard and Hendersonville. ##### Connie B. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jen Z. 27 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unique property Beautiful and unique space for large groups of friends or families. Loved the minimal and modern decor and the size/arrangement of the great rooms to be together. Shared bathrooms, away from the bedrooms, require a certain level of comfort with your travel partners. Thinner walls in the sleeping pod required group participation to make that the quiet side of the house. The kitchen was beyond well stocked and great prep/space for all of our food and drinks. The fire pit at night was a great place to see stars and listen to the loud bullfrogs in the pond. :) we are already thinking of another trip we can do here! ##### Jen Z.
