Perfect for small families, couples or friends, this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath home features modern comforts and decor, 4 beds total, a fully equipped (and then some) kitchen, and reliable internet. Enjoy breathtaking mountain views by day and stargazing at night. Pet-friendly, with clean water and nearby nature trails, it’s ideal for relaxation or adventure. The Perch is located on our 2.5-acre property, directly behind our home, overlooking an old golf course turned nature preserve with year-round mountain views. The home includes a full kitchen, living room with a queen-sized pullout sleeper couch, dining area, work area, and laundry room. The entire space is about 700 sq. feet. There are two porches—one overlooking the pool and mountains and another facing the fire pit and nearly 500 acres of undeveloped forest. Each room has a 32-inch TV In addition to the firepit, we offer a charcoal grill, a tandem kayak, a single kayak, a canoe and the pool is available for use in the on-season. We do rent out our pool out by the hour to the community via an app called Swimply, so we just ask that we stay in communication about when you wish to swim and we'll communicate when it is reserved. We will give you privacy at the pool and we welcome our guests to swim with us - so it's not off limits when we're there! Even during the off-season our pool bar, which features a fridge, TV, grill, music system and outdoor bathroom is an awesome spot to hangout. 30 minutes to downtown Asheville 15 minutes to downtown Black Mountain 10 minutes to the Gateway Trail System or Catawba Falls Trailhead 35 minutes to Lake James \*Please note that the nightly rate is for a total of two guests.
