Peace and Tranquility
This was our second stay at this property and we are simply enchanted. We spent the majority of our days and evenings on the patio, taking in the beautiful mountain views, playing with our pups, and unplugging. The house itself is comfortable and well-equipped. If you are looking for a home away from home, this is it. We will be back!

Like Visiting Grandma's House
It felt so much like coming to visit a long lost relative. There was planty of rooom to sleep. The kids loved the bedroom to themselves. The location is nice and private. We enjoyed sipping coffee while watcing the sun rise. Wild turkeys rome free and the location was in the middle of everything... just 6 short miles for the Blueridge Parkway. If it weren't for the lack of AC I'd have given the place a 5 stars. WE loved it here! Thank you!

Had a great stay!
Very impressed with the house! Beautiful mountain view but still close to downtown. The house had plenty of space, was clean, and had everything we needed :)

Family Time
The house was cozy and had a lot of space! The yard toys were a blast. The property is close to hiking, dining, shopping, and the parkway. Check In was easy. The view in the morning was breath taking. I highly recommend.

Perfection
The house was so easy to find (always a plus) as it was minutes from lots of activity BUT incredibly private and quiet. The setting was just perfect for Fall "leaf looking" and gathering on one of the porches for family time.

About the host

Hosted by Roy Cole

Host profile image
I live in Charleston, SC where I owned a family-operated construction business for many years. My grandparents bought this property in 1960 and built a house that has since been enjoyed by our family and many others. Over the years, each generation of our family has worked together to lovingly maintain it. We delight in the opportunity to share Fletcher House with you.

Why they chose this property

Prior to building the house, Ruby and Furman Fletcher would spend summers right down the road at the historic Pisgah View Ranch. They fell in love with the area, building their own home as soon as they were able. Actively participating in the building process, their personal touches--like the Davis Creek stones found around the property--are still evident to visitors today and show the love and hard work they put into creating this special place. Today, 5 generations of our family have made wonderful memories here and we hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

We love our mountain house for it's cozy and unique mid-century feel, and have really enjoyed the modern updates we have added (like our new kitchen appliances). The house is decorated with a mix of both vintage and modern furniture. It feels very "home-y" and not like a hotel, which sets us apart from the many "investor" rentals out there. Our property is very private, and although there are other homes nearby they are not visible from our property. A truly great place to relax and "get away from it all!"
