Half Way To Heaven - Horse Shoe

"Half Way To Heaven" ~ Our custom-designed and built three-story home makes for an awesome mountain getaway to enjoy all the high country has to offer!

The house was thoughtfully designed by the same architects that designed the Nantahala Outdoor Center. This is very evident as the house purposefully brings the outdoors inside through the use of extensive windows, an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and material construction.

Through the many large windows, you will become part of the high country and experience one of the most phenomenal panoramic mountain views in the region! On the deck there is virtually zero light interference from surrounding communities as the property borders and overlooks the Pisgah National Forest, which makes the stars that much brighter for evening relaxing and amateur astronomy gazing (telescope on site). Also, keep an eye out for the wildlife that frequents the property, like deer, the occasional bear, and, of course, the blue ghost fireflies and white squirrels!

The house floor plan and four bedrooms are open and tastefully decorated and furnished with luxury linens and toiletries, and everything you will need for a comfortable worry-free stay. There are three flat screen HD TV's that are equipped with internet streaming to easily access Hulu (with live TV), Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon programming. The large open gourmet kitchen includes tons of cooking and serving utensils to make whatever meal your heart desires, plus there is a Webber gas grill on the back porch. The road to the home is well maintained; however, a 4-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended during periods of snow or ice accumulation.

The high country hosts many seasonal favorites with downtown music and summer festivals. Luckily, this house is just minutes from the Asheville airport and Sierra Nevada Brewery and only 20 minutes each from downtown Asheville, downtown Hendersonville, or downtown Brevard! Convenient activities include hiking, mountain biking, walking, fly fishing, river rafting, horseback riding, shopping, fine dining, outdoor plays, and brewery, winery, and cidery hopping, just to name a few. Don't forget the farmers markets and historical sites like the Biltmore Estate, Carl Sandburg home, and Flat Rock Playhouse!

There are so many fun adult and kid-friendly choices of things to do in the area, and with this house you are next to them all BUT also get to enjoy the feeling of total seclusion if you just want to get away from it all and relax.

** No RV's, 5th wheels, buses, campers, or trailers allowed. Thanks!

*** There are lots of small kid toys available; just ask before your stay, and we can have them available for kid play.
