Mountain Rental Home
Enjoy the peaceful serenity of this beautiful, secluded, off-the-grid home at 3,800 feet near Barnardsville in Western North Carolina. A 1,800 square foot deck wraps around three sides and lofty windows offer views of surrounding mountains and forest. Set on 41 acres with private mountain trails and streams and surrounded on three sides by the Pisgah National Forest. The property rises sharply to the north through hardwood forest. To the east is Ivy Knob and to the south you can see Big Butt Mountain through the treetops. Facing west, across the stream in the deep ravine beside the deck, are the large hardwoods of the national forest. Listen to the breeze through the trees and the brook falling over rocks from your bedroom or while enjoying a glass of wine on the deck. Watch the moon rise in the skylight amid the natural pine posts and beams of this solar-powered timber-frame (post-and-beam) home.

Located a few miles east of Barnardsville, which is on Highway 197 about 20 miles north northeast of Asheville in western North Carolina. Just 25 minutes from Asheville and even closer to Weaverville and the charming college town of Mars Hill. Asheville is a vibrant, diverse community noted for arts and crafts, music, and folk culture. Easy access via scenic drives to golf, skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and other attractions.

Three bedrooms, plus loft. Sleeps 10 (1 king, 2 queen, 2 twin, 1 rollaway twin, plus double futon in loft). Three full and one half-bath. Dog friendly (no cats, please, due to allergies.)


How secluded is Brookside? Go to www.satelliteviews.net/my-house.htm and type in "120 Dodd Rd, Barnardsville, NC" for a satellite view. This picture truly is worth a thousand words. The opening view shows nothing but forest around us and no power lines. Zoom in to maximum magnification and you can see the house and wrap-around deck and even the deck furniture. The small rectangular object across the driveway is the backup generator and the long object just above the driveway is stacked firewood covered with a blue tarp. Move the center of the image south a little and you will see the two eight-panel solar arrays.
