About this property

Peaceful Mountain Sanctuary

Nestled at the foot of the Plott Balsam Range, this lovely apartment is more like a private home, secluded and quiet with the beauty of nature all around. The location of the property is central to many of the areas great attractions; conveniently located between Asheville and Cherokee. It is only one mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

This new one bedroom apartment is a lovely space that includes high quality furnishings. A new, solid wood Kincaid platform king size bed for comfort features a new, organic cotton, very comfortable, firm mattress, high thread count 100% Egyptian cotton sheets; a double, lit closet and dresser with lots of storage for personal belongings.

All of the essentials one would need for a comfortable and relaxing stay are provided. There is a fully equipped kitchen, full size bath, laundry room and two private entrances that open up to a spacious deck and secluded back yard. The front deck is equipped for relaxing in the hammock under the magnificent trees while listening to all the birds, or enjoying you meals on the outside dining furniture. A well established culinary herb garden right outside your back door and access also to any in season veggies grown in Diannah's organic garden.

While the accommodations are best suited for one or two adults, additional sleeping for a small child can easily be arranged. Rental comes with complimentary teas and fresh ground coffee (this is one of the "perks" that guests like most about Diannah's rentals) along with snacks and basic breakfast items.

This is a perfect getaway place for the couple that wants to explore Western North Carolina and all of the areas attractions.

Peaceful and Beautiful Setting
The apartment was perfect for my needs. Everything was clean and new and Diannah was a very gracious host. Her directions to the property were excellent and she was so welcoming and gave me suggestions for touring the local area. She even brought me more fresh ground coffee and showed me how to use the coffee press. There was a coffee pot there as well. The apartment is beautifully decorated and it is very peaceful either sitting on the deck or in the back in the chairs near the fire pit. I hope to return to the area and would definitely stay here again. Elaine

Good property and kind host
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property. With a toddler we had some thoughts, but it was safe and very well managed. The host was very kind, helpful and friendly and was gracious to keep a cartoon book to read for our toddler.

About the host

Hosted by Rose Schilling

Host profile image
The picture, although not one of me, is a photo that captures the light and beauty that emanate from the nature here. It was captured while driving home one day on Balsam Ridge Road, just before my house. I have lived here for 30 years and have slowly brought out the natural beauty that surrounds and protects this land. Many people who come can feel the healing vibe the nature creates. Some have even said that they can see it growing in the moss that serves as a ground cover under the canopy of the magnificent trees.

I have lived my life as a visual artist and have made my career of it. Now I am channeling most of that creative energy into developing this property into the sanctuary it was intended.

Why they chose this property

If you are seeking peace and quiet, privacy, an at home and welcome feel, this is your place. Diannah goes to great lengths to insure that your every need is met. She keeps her properties beautifully maintained and impeccably clean!

What makes this property unique

This property in itself is unique. You must come and stay a while to see what I mean. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. For the motorcycle enthusiast, I have a barn that you can park your bike in to keep it protected from the elements.
