About this house rental
Come relax at our mountain home retreat! Enjoy our beautiful view of the mountains and visit with the wild turkeys and occasional bear. Our “Mountain Rose” is nestled in a quiet country-like setting within 6 miles of downtown Asheville. Asheville has lots of great restaurants, shops, galleries, music, art, hiking and breweries. We are also less than 3 miles to Warren Wilson College, within a mile of their hiking trails, near the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Folk Art Center. Other nearby activities include golfing, tennis, and river rafting. If skiing and winter sports are your thing, Wolf Ridge Ski resort is 45 minutes away.
You will enjoy having the main floor/upper level all to yourselves as well as the back yard. When you are ready to eat, cook a meal in the fully equipped kitchen. enjoy the mountain view on one of our chaise lounges inside or from one of the decks.
If it starts to get chilly, sit by the fire in the living room or master bedroom.
When you are ready to turn in for the night enjoy one of our lovely bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other bedroom has a queen bed. Both bedrooms and the dining room have cellular shades on the windows.
There are two full bathrooms, one with a tub and shower, the other with a roomy shower.
Guests should know that while we live in Black Mountain, we occasionally stay in a separate and independent living space in the lower level. We will keep you up to date about when we will be in our space during your stay.

With the length of our stay, I think we can give an accurate assessment of Rose Mtn. Cottage
Pros: This house has a good layout, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The sunporch was enjoyable and we loved the lounge chairs. Communication with Karen was very good, always responding quickly to our messages, including clearing a tree that fell over the driveway.
Cons: The shared, blind driveway is extremely steep with a hard right turn onto another steep climb to the front of the garage. We were able to make a 4-6 point turn around to get back down facing forward.
There are no window coverings on the bedroom sunporch or either bathroom. There is very inconsistent cell coverage. The only TV is tiny. The 3 balconies are tiny. The pictured bench by the water feature is missing seating slats and is inaccessible because the area is so overgrown. The d/r chairs (and one l/r chair) are very wobbly to the point one collapsed with my husband. Karen explained she occasionally tightens the leg bolts by hand and would do it for us but it would take 3-4 hrs. The smoke and carbon monoxide detectors have unmonitored batteries, giving the responsibilities to residents. No fun getting a ladder in the middle of the night to change batteries-twice! No ice maker! Welcome back to 50's filling ice trays!
I hope this gives you a clearer picture than we had!
