Stunning architecture meets nature in this modern, glass bungalow surrounded by serene pasturelands that is sure to leave you feeling revived and refreshed! But, don’t just take our word for it. Architectural Digest chose it as the most beautiful rental in North Carolina, and GQ, Conde Nast Traveler, and TimeOut are also fans.
With giant windows that frame the Blue Ridge mountains and luxury amenities including superfast WiFi, state-of-the-art workstations, smart home technology, a hot tub, and more - this 2-bedroom home that sleeps 4 is the perfect find.
Enjoy a countryside feel with city convenience. Set in North Carolina’s tranquil Riceville Valley, we are centrally located just 12 minutes from downtown Asheville - a city known for its vibrant art scene and breweries. Just 5 minutes away is the entrance to Blue Ridge Parkway - aka America’s Favorite Drive.
WILDLIFE WARNING
Bear season runs from July to mid-November, so you might encounter bears roaming around the property. Please exercise caution and follow our guidelines for food and trash disposal. Also, please remain vigilant when you are outside and ensure that you're locking your car doors at night to prevent any wildlife from entering them.
EVENTS
By booking, you agree any events or professional projects must be confirmed and approved first. Reach out to us first to confirm deposit, event rates, and a contract.
POOL AND POOL HEATING
Pool heating is available for a fee of $130 per day and is preset to a comfortable temperature of 80°F. Please note that temperature adjustments are not available.
--
The pool at this home is seasonally closed due to weather conditions during the following periods:
Late October through early November (weather dependent)
Early to mid April (weather dependent)
Exact closure dates may vary each year based on local weather. We recommend confirming pool availability before booking if this amenity is essential to your stay.
ACCESSIBILITY
The driveway and path to the home are gravel. This may make rolling luggage or strollers more difficult, so you may want to pack light or be prepared to carry items to and from your car.
Please note that there are no closets and dressers in this home. There are hangers behind the mirror in the second bedroom and drying racks in the laundry room, which can be used to hang clothing. We recommend packing accordingly, especially for longer stays. A garment bag or travel organizer may come in handy.
PET FEE AND POLICY
This home is pet-friendly and welcome to your furry friends during your stay. However, I do have some rules and a pet fee to preserve our home’s delicate luxury furniture and linens.
• Pets are strictly prohibited in beds, indoor or outdoor furniture, or spa facilities.
• Pet owners will be responsible for damage and charged through their payment on file.
• Our pet fee is $350 for up to 2 pets maximum weight of 100 lbs. The fee goes to the cleaner for the extra work required after a pet stays.
NOTE: This fee does not cover damage by breaking the pet policy rules. Please note that we’ll be charging any extra damages done to the property by your pet.
AMENITY NOTICE
The Tesla charger at this home is currently unavailable. Our team will be happy to direct you to nearby charging stations.

Parties or events are not allowed unless prior written approval is given by our team. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a fine.
