Best Of Both! Private Asheville Retreat Near Attractions and Surrounding Areas | House in Asheville

Secluded, private retreat for guests desiring a place to relax with friends or family, yet only a 5 miles from any kind of store you could need. Private lake on 9 acres - hiking and fishing right out your door. We have wild turkeys, wild and domestic ducks, Canadian Geese, 20+ species of birds, Wild Blue Herons, turtles, bull frogs and the occasional Green Heron, fox, coyote or black bear (these wild animals have never bothered a person on the property). We have trails throughout the nine acres, which guests are welcome to enjoy.
The open floor plan is ideally suited for groups - the Great Room, Kitchen and Dining areas are all open - no walls in between. Bedrooms are all private, separate spaces with doors which lock from the inside.
In Fall of 2016, the two en suite bathrooms were completely gutted and renovated. The King Master Suite bathroom has two shower heads - one traditional, and one "hand held", which is on the side of the shower, next to a built in tile bench. The floor in this bathroom is seamless between the bathroom floor and shower floor, so anyone with mobility challenges will have a very easy time. The toilets in both en suites are comfort height toilets. Both en suite bathrooms have solid wood, double sink vanities, with lots of counter space and large mirrors. There is a blowdryer for guest use in the vanity in the King Master Suite.

*Immediately behind Wynn's Way, there is a paved parking area for two large vehicles. There is also a "pull in" to a paved area which turns into forest, but would allow the other two cars to get out. As you approach the house, there is a paved "pull-in" to the left, in front of the house, with space for another car. In addition, when driving away from the house, at the bottom of the hill, the driveway splits. To your right is a paved road which dead ends into the forest, and would accommodate a trailer or larger vehicle. To the left, the driveway continues by the lake, past the Fire Pit and out to Merrill's Cove Road.
During COVID 19, we are not able to accept booking requests from groups who choose not to be vaccinated. We are sorry for this, but our team (and family) includes "high risk" individuals, so we must be very careful until this situation fully resolves. Thank you for your understanding.
