Main Level:

As you enter the estate, you walk into a large family living room with a wood-burning fireplace and panoramic mountain views. To your right, is an oversized Chef's kitchen stocked with cookery and cutlery for preparing meals for your group, connected to a large dining room (seating for 14 at the main table, with an optional second table on the southwest corner of the house), with views in all directions.
Also located on the western side of the main floor is a king suite, with a full bath new mattress and bedding, and a private patio door leading out to the upper-level deck. The eastern wing of the main floor has a second king suite, with a large en suite bath, private patio door, flat-screen TV, and an adjoining nursery complete with crib and changing table.

The northeast corner of the main level has the floor's 3rd bedroom, usually the choice of our younger guests. The room has two sets of lodge style, playhouse bunk beds, providing two twin beds and two full beds, as well as a secret passageway (hidden behind a bookcase) leading to a hidden playroom.

Mid-Level:

Continuing downstairs from the living room to the mezzanine level, you'll find 3 of Skyridge Villa's bedrooms as well as two additional baths. This floor also boasts a large arcade/game room area, with panoramic windows overlooking the mountains. The space is equipped with pub table seating, as well as an array of games. Choose from one of our 5 upright arcade machines, the sitting cocktail arcade (with over 1000 classic games), skeeball, foosball, dual pop-a-shot basketball.
The room in the southeast corner of the house has a queen bed, private patio doors, and sweeping mountain views. The room in the northeast corner has a king bed and flat-screen TV. Both rooms share an en suite bath, and an expansive row of closets.

At the center of the second level, just off the game room, is the atheneum suite, an oversized vintage bedroom. The room boasts a private library of classic literature, a wood-burning stove, and an en suite bath. The room is outfitted with a king bed, as well as a loveseat, to relax by the fire and enjoy a book. Also located on the mezzanine level is Skyridge Villa's private cinema, seating 20 in oversized theatre seating on 4 levels, with an 87" inch 4K TV.

Lower Level:

Continuing down the spiral staircase, to the lower level, you'll find the Villa's final bedroom, which has a king bed, private entrance to the house, and access to a full bath right outside the bedroom.

To the west of the lower level, you'll find Skyridge Villa's private spa. Relax in our built-in steam room or sauna, then cool off in the oversized rainfall shower. You'll find plush spa robes and spa towels. We also supply two in-house massage tables... Schedule an appointment with one of our highly recommended area masseuses, and relax without leaving the house!

Outdoor Areas:
As spacious and entertaining as the 5000 square foot interior is, the pinnacle of the Skyridge experience is the expansive outdoor living. The two-level deck has outdoor dining for 16, a gas-burning fire table overlooking the mountains, and an abundance of seating in either the outdoor living area or the rocking chairs. You'll also find both a propane and charcoal grill, as well as a pizza oven, to use during your visit.
Skyridge Villa has an oversized, jacuzzi hot tub that can seat up to 7 and has long-range mountain views from the back deck.

Near the main entrance is our carport converted into an outdoor game room. Completely covered, and partially enclosed, you can still enjoy the mountain air. You'll find the area equipped with a pool table, darts, and ping pong.

To the west of the property, you'll find Skyridge's garden area. As you continue down, walking through the beautifully landscaped garden, past the pond, you will find a custom-built gazebo with mountain views, a short walk from an outdoor seating area.

Access Road:
The road leading to the house is windy and climbs up the mountain (think: best view!). Part of the road is gravel and there are many rough spots. If you are not used to driving in the mountains then it might be kind of an adventure the first time but no one has ever had a problem reaching our house. An AWD/4WD is definitely not necessary unless there is snow on the ground. Please take your time, go slowly and exercise caution.

Snow:
For winter bookings, please be aware that there is a potential of being snowed-in as if there is significant snow on the road, it could become impassable. We do our absolute best to anticipate this and will communicate any potential changes needed for arrival and departure based on the weather. Please understand that this is out of our control and might require some flexibility in your travel arrangements. This is sometimes part of the Asheville winter adventure and safety is a top priority. Thank you!

We had a great stay! The place was beautiful, clean, and had amazing mountain views. Julia was a wonderful host, she checked in on us to make sure everything was going well and was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

So beautiful, I am not an early riser but I did when we stayed here. What a stunning view, watching the clouds over the town in the morning it was just wonderful. Julia and team were so responsive and helpful. We had a great time playing pool, watching movies, all sitting together for meals and the kitchen was so great! All 11 adults could fit in there with room to spare. My only complaint is that we had to leave. Couple unique things: bedrooms were separated so it gave a lot of privacy so those who were early to bed weren’t disturbed. Sauna, steam rooms and hot tub were wonderful. We were all together but not in top of each other. Thank you for a great retreat, we will also miss the bears! thank you!

Excellent house for a large group of people. House was very clean, linens stocked for all rooms, including spa/sauna. Lots of room for a large group to move around and enough areas for individual privacy, if wanted.Only thing to note is the road getting up to the house. It is very steep and not fully paved the whole way. You do not need a 4WD (a few of our party made it up there in smaller cars), but a SUV was better. It takes about 15-20 minutes to make the drive up from the town below, so you just need to plan accordingly for any supplies you might need.Overall, great experience.

The good:The views were spectacular. We would sit out each morning drinking coffee and enjoying the scenery and wildlife. The amenities at the property were decent. The theater room was nice. Hot tub and sauna were nice after hiking all day. The rooms had plenty of room for all. The bad: There were obvious signs that the house needed a little upkeep. Bifold doors were falling out of closet as soon as we walked through front door. We went to the kichen to cook and found many drawers/cabinets without knobs. We also encountered cabinet doors with broken hinges. Several doors broke when opened. The wood trim surrounding the refrigerator was the worse and the most dangerous hazard in the house. The trim was not attached to the cabinets. Part of the trim was resting on top of the refrigerator. The sides of the trim panels were flimsy and resting against the refrigerator doors. When the fridge opened, the side trim would be very unstable and started leaning forward about to fall. We had to prop it back several times during our stay and one side actually fell and broke. Company had to be aware because their maintenance worker had several screws trying to hold flimsy trim.Overall, the place is great and would be excellent with some upkeep. Communication with company was excellent with fast response. I would still come back due to the views. However, premium pricing should not be charged for subpar standards. I hope they fix these issues.**Won't allow me to upload photos**
