We loved our stay at High Windy! Very nice house in a secluded area, but still close to everything. The kitchen had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The porches were the BEST for relaxing and visiting with family. We would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay! The home was perfect. Loved having 2 levels with great accommodations. Beyond comfortable. The area was great. The home is on a small mountain with gorgeous views. Plenty to do in the area and just down the road from the Blue Ridge Parkway and great hikes. We will definitely be booking again soon! Hosts were so lovely and communicated with us when we needed them.

Clean stay, great communication from owner. Easy to get to property, yet still had a feeling of "away from it all". Wish the fire pit was more useable, but overall an excellent experience!

Absolutely a 10/10. The pictures just don’t do this home justice. We had a very relaxing 4 day retreat here. The property is close to everything while giving you a very secluded feeling. We were surprised at the size of the home as well, much larger than anticipated. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. We’ll be staying again for sure!

Charming, private cabin on a mountainside yet close to local attractions. We were greeted by wood thrush song and a bear sighting! The high back porch was the perfect spot for coffee, birdwatching, or a good book. Comfy bed, separate lower level we didn’t use also has outdoor access. Great spot!

So inviting & comfortable. We spent most of the time on the covered (deck) porch with ceiling fans in the butterfly forest. Adorable home with high-end finishes. The pics don’t do it justice. So close to town, yet far enough away. 4 stars

I cannot believe how nice this place was. The pictures do not do justice at all. Everything is clean and new. Love the couch-it’s like AMC seats! It’s very close to downtown. I would love to stay again in the future.

We explored Asheville, the food and art scene. The house was within an easy 15 minute drive to downtown, so very convenient. Our host was very accommodating.

This house is perfect. Not too big or too small. It is secluded with an amazing back porch. Even with temperatures in the 90’s the temperature stayed 75 on the porch. Amazing views of the mountains and we saw bears from the porch everyday. We had everything we needed and the host is great. We will be coming back in the winter and falls months.

Second stay as great as the first

We loved our first stay. Upgrade to the main bedroom was a plus for this stay. For families with pets, the fenced-in yard is great. For us, the vista is memorable, and so glad the hosts share this house with us.
