Mountain Getaway - 10 minutes from Biltmore Estate and Downtown Asheville

Located in Asheville, NC - your next getaway is a 5 bedroom, 3 bath home - with plenty of space. Ten minutes from downtown Asheville and the Biltmore Estate, and just 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this home has lots of privacy yet the trip to town is super easy and quick. The short drive from town up to the house is Uber accessible and the perfect introduction to mountaintop living.

Want to wake up to some mountain magic? Along with a queen size bed and full private bath, the queen bedroom has a picture window to soak up the view of trees and sky as they extend towards the horizon. Also wonderful for viewing the stars at night as you go to sleep. The 2nd bedroom has a full bed and the 3rd bedroom has two twin beds. Each room is equipped with reading lamps and ceiling fans. A queen-size sleeper sofa is in the living room with extra sheets and blankets .

The well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar has pots, pans, dishes, glasses, mugs, utensils, coffee pot, toaster, fridge/freezer, oven/stove and opens into the dining room full of natural light.

Cable TV and Wi-Fi are available along with an assortment of DVDs and other games.

The downstairs portion of Avondale Mountain offers 2 additional bedrooms each with a full size bed. A ping pong table, dining/card table, full bathroom and Keurig coffee maker station are provided for your enjoyment and convenience.

Enjoy the privacy of a large, fenced backyard while playing on your very own mountain top 'playground’. In summer months our garden can often provide salad veggies, aromatic herbs and hopefully some berries. Fun for kids of all ages to pick and enjoy. We now also have a smokeless fire-pit for our guests to enjoy.

Our house is in the mountains, surrounded by forest, in one of the most biodiverse regions of the planet. Bugs and bears are part of nature. We do our best to live with them in harmony and appreciation.

Many adventures await you in Asheville, North Carolina!

Mountain getaway
Amazing house. The furniture was a bit dated, but didn’t affect our stay in the least. What could have improved our stay was the beds. The bed were very noisy and not comfortable. The house has a lot of space. We never felt crowded. Everyone had their own space. At time the adults would be around the dinner table, the kids would either be in the living room or downstairs playing ping pong. The backyard was amazing and the kids were able to set up to play badminton. The kitchen had everything we needed. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and the host was very communicative and helpful throughout our entire stay.

Great location, great value
I already considered this a really good value deal for the amount of bedrooms and space but I was even more pleasantly surprised by the place. The highlight was that it was incredibly clean and well maintained. You could tell that the hosts treasure and care about this place. It was a quick and easy drive to downtown but you felt remote and it was accessible to the blue ridge parkway. We had a great long weekend hiking, venturing into Asheville, grilling out and bonding at the house. My only suggestion would maybe be a bar of soup in the showers. Other than that the hosts had everything covered.

My review: Intend to be helpful for future visitors
Pros: 1. Board games, Shuttle badminton, Ping pong table, to keep the kids engaged for an hour or so before sleep or get ready, before you start / once you come back from visiting places. Neutral: 1. Old structure so people sleeping on first floor get disturbed if people walk on second floor. Cons: 1. Road to the house: Steep and narrow, single car access road to the final stretch. No space to reverse or go on side. 2. It gets dark and slippery on rainy night. There was a branch had fallen on the road and blocking. It was raining. We were thinking what to do and still trying to confirm the property since it is on the little side from the street. A neighbor or nearby house owner came by and removed after a while. 3. There was no (bath) soap.

College friends get together
Very nice having so many separate bedrooms and baths. Hard to find actual house because roads and driveways look the same. Maybe add you drive thru 2 hairpin turns before driveway. Lots of nice outdoor decks to sit on. Remote but close to town. Not familiar with use of lockbox so that took awhile.

Excellent Family Vacation Getaway
Great family getaway for a wonderful weekend in Asheville. There was plenty of space for our multi generational family to relax and enjoy. The ping pong table entertained the kids while the adults sat on the porches to enjoy the weather sitting in the shade of the trees. Multiple bedrooms easily accommodated a family of 9. Conveniently located near the Blue Ridge Parkway and downtown Asheville allowed us to easily spend a day exploring the beautiful overlooks on the way to Mount Mitchell summit while enjoying some dinner in downtown later in the day, The Property Owner was very responsive and able to help us with any questions/amenity needs we had. I would recommend this as an excellent place to stay for a wonderful family vacation.

Convenient location to explore Asheville
Overall, a great property and was within 10 minutes of everything we wanted to do. The house was a little hard to find at first with GPS as the driveway was on the other side of the house. Warning, the last 5 minutes of the drive is a narrow lane up the side of a mountain with switch backs.

Sibling reunion
Got together with my siblings and their spouses for a long weekend. House was perfect setup to allow for gatherings and for privacy. Conveniently located and in great condition. Being on mountain side made for great scenery but somewhat scary ascent by car. Kitchen well stocked with needed dishes and some supplies. Quiet and restful with lots of outdoor space including fenced yard and playground equipment. Would definitely return.

Getaway for our moms
My husband and I brought are moms to Asheville for a visit to the Biltmore and the a quick trip over to Bryson City to ride the Polar Express. This was the perfect location. Just a short drive to the Biltmore. The house has everything we needed. We appreciated the extras like coffee, creamer, and sugar.

Great stay close to Biltmore
My family attended an event at the Biltmore and this house was the perfect place to house all 8 of us for our NC visit. Spacious house for a group. Although we didn't spend a ton of time at the house due to being at events, I know that it would be the perfect place to just hang out with family and friends.

This house is great for family stays in Asheville. Situated up on a hill, it has space for game time, gathering, a large communal kitchen opening up to a dining room and fantastic outdoor spaces. Check in was a breeze and we were very happy with the house!

Rustic house with lots of old charm
We had a great time and stay for a wedding in Asheville. The house has an older rustic or even eclectic mountain vibe but was still clean and fresh. We definitely embraced its charm from the squeaky staircase to every little hidden nook it offers. One of its biggest perks, is how spacious it is which was important for our group. It was also pleasantly more private than we thought but still a short drive to the city.

Bugs in the cabin and cabin conditions
The cabin is not in a good condition and very outdated. The fans were very creeky and the stairs to the basement were not in good condition to go down and didn’t seem stable. There were many bugs in the cabin, cockroach and moths found in the bathroom. The sunset view was not really visible as stated. Kitchen was good but not many utensils. Overall we did not think the cabin was being maintained well. It was an okay stay, somewhat disappointed. Location was the only best thing about the place. Cabin needs a lot of improvement.

Avalon issues not disclosed
the dishwasher ran but did not clean the dishes. the draft vent was unplugged... when we figured that out to use, the vent went up and right back down continuously. It was of no use while cooking as any smoke sent off the smoke detectors. it would have bee nice to know that the oven was undersized as we tried to feed 10 people! It would not hold a full size pan. tp holder upstairs falling off wall.. we replaced many light bulbs.. you probably already know that the flooring is soft in many spots.

Great secluded Asheville area property to stay
This property met all of the needs for my friends and I when we stayed here. We would rent again the same location but had just two recommendations: (1) Please check your lightbulbs often for those that are burnt out and need replacing. There were at least 6 bulbs needing replacement across multiple rooms. We would have been happy to replace them ourselves if lightbulbs were available. (2) Please invest in having the outside of the property sprayed for insects. We did not have troubles inside but found several wasps lingering over the covered porch. Aside from these recommendations, everything else was great. The property is super spacious inside. Thanks for a great stay!

Our family Thanksgiving mountain getaway.
House was spacious. Nice large well stocked kitchen. Bathrooms clean and updated. Stairs to lower level a little scary in that the railing was wobbly and steps deep for children. Had great entertainment amenities. Plenty of space to get some alone time. Yard fenced in and playground was a hit with the littles. Screens and patios could use a good power washing. Plenty of parking.
