Asheville Mountainside Retreat... More photos at viewoftheblue dot com, click on the guest room banner... Comfortable, quiet, bed & breakfast-style guest room in a rustic mountainside home in Asheville, NC... Also providing complimentary private outdoor deck areas, enclosed outdoor sitting room, and extra indoor retreat / study room. Our guest room is a fairly large, well-appointed and comfortable bed-and-breakfast-style accomodation with almost all amenities you would expect from a premium hotel, as well as extra retreat areas. It has a private entrance facing the uphill slope of the mountain, private bathroom with shower, and provides an almost cabin-like ambience. We will be fairly close at hand and on call, however, for any extra assistance or amenities you may need. We extend our welcome to friends, businesspeople and travelers wishing to experience a quiet and unique mountain retreat, with a personalized touch. It's in a separate wing of an unusual hand-built rustic private home, started in the 1980's and gradually expanded over the years, with a solar-power backup and a mountain spring-fed water supply. The guest room was newly built in the fall of 2002. Great for a romantic getaway or just to experience a bit of nature. We generally prefer mature individuals or couples, no dogs please, (one cat possibly OK). Bringing young children is discouraged due to terrain hazards, etc. Guests are expected to maintain a peaceful, quiet demeanor. Write us via e-mail or call to introduce yourself and your party, and we can arrange your stay. The basic full-service rate is $85 per couple per night, with some discounting for stays of more than two nights. There is also a second room (only for overflow), which can accomodate 1 extra person on a twin size sleeping area, or possibly 2 on our spare queen size mattress on the center floor area (a bit more primitive). This second room is designed more as a meditation and study room. This is available for $50 per night (for sleeping purposes), but day use of this room (for sitting, reading or study) is complimentary to all guests. This second room is not currently air-conditioned. There is also an enclosed outdoor sitting room for guests, which is easily accessible from either room. Breakfast included if you wish, we usually feature a hearty "specialty" breakfast choice of our own creation, with coffee, juice, etc., and we can also provide lighter standard American fare with perhaps a few unique ad-libs, unless you request otherwise. Certain weekdays we may only be able to provide self-serve pre-packaged items, and also microwaveable and bakery items of your choice when requested in advance. We hope your stay will be a quiet and relaxing getaway. Features: * semi-secluded location just minutes from Asheville on a steep mountainside * just 4 miles from the Blue Ridge parkway * less than 10 miles from downtown, and 10 minutes to local services/restaurants, etc. * large private room in separate wing of the house, upstairs, 18' x 20' * separate meditation / study room (Zendo) can also accomodate an extra guest * private rear entrance, private bathroom with shower, all linens provided * lots of tall trees, cabin-like ambience, providing a unique experience * private 50' wrap-around deck facing woods on uphill slope of mountain * private outdoor glass-enclosed sitting room at far end of deck * firm queen size platform bed, large closet, rocking chair, love seat, dining/writing table * TV, VCR, DVD player, many free popular movies available to borrow * TV provides a good choice of satellite TV channels with remote * coffee maker, toiletries, hair dryer, clock radio, CD player, other amenities * complimentary brief long distance (US) phone calls (only on request) * microwave and refrigerator in room * ironing board/iron,(laundry access on request) * separate air conditioning/heating units installed in room, large ceiling fan over bed * free high-speed wireless internet (6Mb/sec), fax / e-mail service available, loaner laptop * separate small reading room, and 2nd upstairs toilet available * full breakfast service available on weekends, some weekdays * pre-packaged (microwave) convenience foods/beverage items may be requested in advance * one compact car may generally use a space in the garage * great area for foliage viewing, local cultural events, Biltmore estate * limited smoking allowed, NOT handicapped accessible (due to stairs & sloping walks) * driveway cannot accomodate large RV's, nor vehicles with trailers

we do not rent this room continously nor often, or the average of perhaps 1-2 nights every month or so. We keep a guest book in the room for guest comments. So far the response has been 100 % positive. We are not "upscale" nor "fancy", but try to excel in service, comfort and amenities, it's clean, comfortable, and a far nicer, quieter place to stay than your average hotel, at a competitive price, and the ambience here is the kind of ambience we feel you generally come to Asheville to experience.
