Pictures coming soon.\*\*\* Sweetwood overlooks the majestic Blue Ridge Mountain Range. Enjoy the ever-changing mountain view by day and marvel at the brilliant stars against the inky black sky at night. Mount Mitchell, the tallest peak east of the Mississippi River, is directly in view. The property is located in Gateway Mountain, a 3,000-acre hardwood forest and preserve, which offers a peaceful respite from hectic day-to-day life. In addition to the varied and breathtaking vistas, guests within Gateway enjoy unspoiled, woodland surroundings and amenities including hiking trails, a private lake in which you can swim if you'd like, a spectacular and private waterfall park and picnic area, and even a small catch and release trout pond (no license required). We find that time spent on the mountain is always uplifting and restorative, and we would love for Sweetwood to be the home base for your getaway. House Layout: MAIN FLOOR- Open living room and dining area, artfully appointed, with sliders opening onto the spacious upper deck. The living room has a 70" TV (DISH) and a fireplace with gas logs. There is a bedroom with a queen bed across from the full hall bath with a jacuzzi tub and hand-held shower. A fully equipped kitchen makes the preparation of anything from a simple snack to a large holiday feast a pleasure for the cook(s) in your group. The primary suite has a King bed and opens onto the screen porch (which is also accessible from the upper deck), and a full bath features a multi-jet shower. A laundry/mud room with a washer/dryer is also on this level. LOWER LEVEL- Den with a sectional couch, 50-inch TV (with DISH + DVD player), game table seating 4-6, and a collection of board games, playing cards, puzzles, and books. An electric Franklin Stove provides both extra warmth and charm to the space. Sliders open onto the lower-level deck, and a bedroom with a queen bed has a full hall bath (shower only, no tub). The library contains books, travel brochures, local reference materials, and a wireless printer for guest use. A "mini gym" with a spin bike, exercise bands, and free weights is available for use as well. OUTDOORS- Gas grill off the kitchen door, bistro seating for two on the front porch, two large mountain-facing decks, and a screen porch. The upper deck has a dining table with seating for six adjacent to the wood-burning chimney. The lower deck is furnished with four Adirondack chairs and another bistro set seating two. The screen porch is outfitted to seat four, but can easily accommodate six with extra folding chairs. Sweetwood is a true mountain retreat, yet its proximity to the community gate (just 1 mile) on a gently sloping, paved street provides easy access to main roads. It's a comfortable and often very scenic drive to a great variety of active outdoor pursuits, charming mountain towns, small artisanal farms and markets, artist studios/galleries, restaurants, breweries, and historical sights.

WE have stayed at many different properties, but this property is in a category by itself. It is gorgeous. The details of everything from decorating, to entertainment to a fabulously stocked kitchen lends this property to being THE property you want to rent.

Wow factor when we first walked in. However, the cleanliness was not up to par what so ever. The furniture had dust bunnies and dead bugs undernearth. The table tops and other surfaces were terribly dusty. (Photos taken). The vent cover to the microwave was lying on the floor. We tried placing it back in its proper place just to notice its taped up. The tape, ironically, was no longer sticky so we left it off. However, when cooking, on the stove top, with the microwave fan on, it just blew in our faces. If we didn't use the fan, the smell of food lingered. The biggest issue for us was the beds. We tried the master bedroom first, no go. Tried the bed near the laundry room, just as bad. My husband ended up.sleeping in our vehicle. That is unacceptable in our opinion. What were we to do at that point? So soft and clearly worn. For that particular reason, we wouldnot return to that particular cabin. We did not get good rest like we hoped for on our vacation. I found and earring back and long dark hair on the master bathroom floor. Neither of us have long dark hair. The second largest issue for us was the fact that the screens to the deck as well as the screened door to the screened room are all torn. So, we were unable 2 ##### Kelli Q.

The view from the back deck were outstanding, and we truly felt like we were away. The drive up and down Gateway Mountain can be a bit harrowing and rough on your brakes if you’re not used to mountain driving, but ultimately worth it if you’re looking to “unplug” in a peaceful setting. Depending on what you’re looking for, the 40 minute drive to Asheville is a bit of a hike, but not unmanageable. Finally, the property mgmt staff at Graybeard Rentals were wonderful to work with as well. We had to delay our trip about 10 days due to an illness and they went above and beyond to help us out. ##### Kyle E.

This property was just as advertised, beautiful, peaceful and so cozy. The house is ideal for families or a group of adults. Enough space for everyone to gather or have private time. The outside area is beautiful as well. The home is a bit secluded in a neighborhood on top of a large hill/ mountain so it is a little remote. But that’s what makes it very special. We loved this house and would stay again. ##### Teresa S.

Didn't realize how hilly the area was but we adjusted quickly. Rained a lot on visit but the home had a indoor bike and games that made for an enjoyable stay in day. Nice screened in porch - well used. ##### Richard G.

The great room is a perfect place for the whole family to gather. We had an issue eith the wifi but Greybeard property management had if fixed within a couple of hours. I will stay again next time I'm in the mountains. ##### David S.
