Beautiful, cottage with fabulous mountain views. Minutes to Asheville

Our lovely 3 bedroom 2 full bath cottage is perched on a 14 acre mountain ridge surrounded by trees and nature. A beautiful mountain view can be enjoyed year- round from the decks, patio, and several sitting areas. There is an abundance of songbirds, and butterflies, that share the peaceful inclosed zen garden , located just steps out the back door. A fire-pit with plenty of fire wood and a grill for out door cooking are available. This well sparkling clean vacation get-a-way is great for a small group, couples retreat, a family with children, or a romantic get-a-way to share with a special person in your life. This adorable 3 Bedroom 2 full bath mountain cottage is tastefully furnished. It has a spacious well-equipped full-size kitchen and includes a microwave and dishwasher. There is a separate dining room, living room with HD TV, and a cozy den with a free standing wood burning fireplace. The cottage can accommodate up to 6 adults The garden/patio is nicely landscaped with a fountain, outdoor lighting, fire chimney , and also has a space for outdoor games. It is completely fenced for the safety of small children. The garden is well lit so it can also be enjoyed in the evening as well. If you listen close you can hear the owls hooting just after dark. The stars and moon are so bright in the peaceful dark skies of the surrounding mountains. This property is located just minutes to lots of popular hiking and biking trails, white water rafting, down town Asheville, the Bilmore Estate the NC Aboritum, Sierra Nevada Brewery and so much more in this get-a-way mountain home.

Nice Girls' Weekend
I stayed here with two friends. We each had a comfortable bedroom and there were two baths. We enjoyed the different outdoor living spaces very much. There's a great firepit with mountain views, a sweet garden space, and two porches with picnic tables. We had all the basics for cooking, including both electric and charcoal grills. I would return.

Beautiful Property
We had a very nice stay on this beautiful property. We enjoy relaxing out on the deck with beautiful view of the Smokey Mountains. The kitchen and house was stock nicely with everything that we needed. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. This rental was everything we wanted and more. Perfect place for a family or friends get together. We would highly recommend it and with it being out of town it was still a short hop skip and a jump into West Asheville.

Very nice property
My friends and I had a great experience staying at Owls Perch. The directions to get to the house were easy to follow and spot on. We arrived when it was dark outside and it was so nice that the owners have lights on the fence and porch so it was easy to see and get in. The house was very nice and clean and had all the amenities you need. My friends were especially appreciative of the Keurig and coffee provided. There was also wood for the fire pit. If you have a reason to be near Asheville and Hendersonville, it’s a great place to stay.

Blissfully perfect!
The Owl's Perch sits atop a mountain with a gorgeous view of Cold Mountain. Three bedrooms and two baths. The location is perfect for visiting Asheville, the Biltmore Estate and Winery and the Blue Ridge Mountains. We drove up Mt. Mitchell and did some hiking along the many trails. A trip to Black Mountain was very nice. Cathy, the property manager, at the Owl's Perch, was available for any issues during our stay. This place is beautifully located and remarkably spacious. There were three of us on vacation and we had plenty of room. The kitchen was great and we loved the cozy living room and comfortable beds. I would come back in a heartbeat! VRBO is awesome!!

Cancelled upon check-in
The cabin was as described in the listing and pictures. Unfortunately, mice droppings were found on and underneath the bed in the primary bedroom, and additional droppings were found on the couch when we checked in. We contacted Cathy and she told us a mouse had been caught recently and the area cleaned before our arrival. She allowed us to cancel our reservation. We worked with VRBO staff to find another rental in the area.

Great location
Location of the property was great, the place was cute, clean and quiet. Beautiful view. Not happy that they make you clean dishes and wash towels before you leave, after all the money we paid for housekeeping. Plus we were leaving at 10:05 instead of 10 and there was already someone checking that we left.

Wonderful Getaway
We loved staying at Owl’s Perch! The house is in a peaceful, quiet location at the end of the street. We enjoyed the different seating areas, one with a Mountain View, one on the front patio and especially the one in the Zen garden at the back of the house. The house is spotless and bathrooms and bedrooms fresh and clean. The kitchen is well equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, toaster, toaster oven etc. We also loved the fire pit. Communication with Cathy, the owner, was very easy and we also met her husband, who spends a lot of time taking care of the property when there are no guests. We would definitely stay at Owl’s Perch again. We almost didn’t want to do our day tours and rather spend time reading and relaxing at the property! Thank you for a memorable family trip!

Top of the Mountain
At the end of the road up the mountain we found the Owl Perch - a great cabin-like 3 bedroom house that embraced the surrounding forest. 2 decks, a mini campground with fire pit out front and a beautiful "Zen" garden out back provided outdoor space for all. Inside was very comfy, well stocked and perfect for relaxation after the days activities. A quick 10-15 minute drive to all things Asheville. We highly recommend the Owl Perch!
