About this house rental

You can find a video of my home on my you tube @treehousecabin326

The home is located across the street from the Warren Wilson College. It is a 1-level, comfortable, sprawling, 2300 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1937 farmhouse on 1 acre. With mature landscaping, big decks, and various quirky updates and additions added over the generations, my home offers space for everyone. It has been decorated with mid-century eclectic art and comfortable furnishings.

Enjoy cooking? I have a chef's kitchen with 2 sinks and 2 gas ovens. There is a small breakfast room, a TV room with a 50" Smart TV, an easy-to-operate gas fireplace (available mid Sept-mid May), recliners, and a pull-out sleeper couch for guests.

My favorite room is the great room with vaulted ceilings and windows on every wall. There is also a dining room table that can seat 6. There are oodles of art and regional books and lots of classic board games and crafts for downtime. I love doing my morning stretches in this room as the sun rises. The slate patio just off this room has comfortable seating and a hammock. Below the great room, you will find our ping pong room, with dart board, accessed from a brick driveway, underneath the trellis.

Another favorite feature of my house highlighted by guests is the extra-large 2+ person jacuzzi tub in the primary bedroom! This tub has lights and jets and stays really warm. The primary bedroom is quite large and has a king-sized, 4-post, antique teak bed as well as the large jacuzzi tub, toilet, and sink. There is a walk-in closet and a separate work area with a large desk next to the French doors leading to the back deck.

There are 2 other bedrooms, the "Tigre Room" (tiger theme) has a king-size bed and a trundle sleeper couch and a large closet with shelves. There is a 3rd smaller bedroom with large windows.

*Please note there is a separate and private garage apartment located next door about 25 feet from the main house. This apartment may be rented during your stay. You can see this building in the video of the house.
