    Come to Knob View Retreat and enjoy a relaxing vacation in this beautiful home with beautiful views out every window. The home has 3 bedroom suites, each with private ensuite bath and closet, perfect for the extended family or couples who enjoy vacationing together. Two of the suites have direct access to a covered porch to enjoy the refreshing mountain air and views of those glorious sunsets. There is also a large hot tub on the deck with mountain views. The hot tub is professionally maintained weekly by Hot Tub & Spa Specialists of Hot Springs.

    The house is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains at 2900 feet elevation within a small mountain community containing only 7 houses on 70 acres. Privacy abounds and so does the wildlife.

    Enjoy a relaxing stay on the porch or drive just 12 miles to downtown Asheville and enjoy shopping and restaurants in the 'Paris of the South'. The town of Black Mountain is just 9 miles to the East. Spend a day at the Biltmore Estate (13 miles) or go hiking on any of the miles of trails just minutes away. Want to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway? An entrance is just 10 minutes away.

    Our house has beds to accommodate 6 adults or combination of adults and children totaling 6 people. With advance notice we can arrange for a crib or pack and play. No more than 6 people.


    We have 4 security cameras as recommended by our Insurance Co. These are exterior cameras only and there are no indoor cameras. We have 2 ARLO cameras monitoring the parking area and 1 Arlo doorbell camera. (It allows guests to quickly contact us if they have difficulty entering the property upon arrival). There is a 4th camera mounted under the deck that monitors the side door entering the garage.
