This rare location feels private, yet is minutes from pack square, restaurants and breweries. This 1930's historical home has been preserved to maintain its historic charm, relax and enjoy stepping back in time. The Space: This five bedroom home is perfect for groups traveling together. The main level of the home hosts 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and plentiful lounging space in the living room and dining room, great for game nights or curling up to watch a movie. Upstairs is home to 2 bedrooms each with their own private attached bathroom, living space/kitchenette and porch. These upstairs bedrooms offer privacy and work great as in-law suites, private spaces to work from home, and extra space to spread out for friends and families traveling together. This one of a kind home feels like a Vermont ski chalet, and is incredible for curling up by the fire pit with hot cocoa, not to mention taking in the mountain air on the porches or in the Adirondack chairs under the stars. The homeowners Micah and Olivia, have lovingly curated this space, and named it after their sweet little girl, Magnolia. We would love to host you and yours! Please note this house was built in the 1930's: there is no dishwasher or washer and dryer on site. The bathrooms are small and retain parts of the original house, so there may be a little rust here and there. We feel it is part of the charm of preserving a historic home, but if you don't feel that way please reconsider booking. Another thing to note is that you may see an occasional bug. Bears roam the area so we have special trash procedures. Central heating in the downstairs of the home needs to be supplemented with space heaters during the winter. There is a space heater placed in each downstairs bedroom for your use. Please do not attempt to use the wood burning fireplace in the living room, it is not in use and would be a safety hazard. Overall, please be prepared for a more rustic stay, otherwise please consider booking elsewhere. A special note from Micah and Olivia Larimore about the historical meaning of the property: The information is from the NC Historical Society, created in the early 1990s regarding the road widening of ST road 74. Originally, the road widening was going to encroach on the Miller (now Larimore’s) Property. After much effort, work, and God stepping in, the decision was made to move the road away from the property and preserve the landscaping, pond, and home. An additional $1,000,000 was spent at that time to divert the creek (Gashes creek) to the other side of the road and build the tallest retaining wall built at that time in the world to hold back the mountain on the other side. The road known to locals as Drovers road was one of the original main roads in NC. It runs along the lower perimeter of the property, and while the property is surrounded by trees parts of the road are visible. We are fortunate to have this historic documentation and to know that people felt so strongly about this property that they would make these efforts to preserve this property. As a note, that same $1,000,000 invested in the stock exchange would be worth almost $30,000,000 today. The local historical society verified it is the finest and highest quality log and chinkerting home they have ever seen, and there was not a close comparison. There are over 50 of these style homes in the National Historical society and none come close to the quality of (especially the stone work). The historic pond and fountain are beautiful amenities of the home. There is also a newer fountain that can be used with special effects. It has a light display (9 colors) that can be set to patterns, solid, and even to bluetooth to run with music and change colors accordingly. The fountain has three spray patterns to choose from. We can also color the pond for a special event. Red, blue, orange, yellow, green, black, etc. The cost $50 to $150 depending on color. If you are interested in the pond for a special event, please contact us in advance for details. The Neighborhood: Located on the eastern side of Asheville, this house sits just a few minutes from the Blue Ridge parkway. Hop on the parkway for bike riding, hiking, fall leaves and astounding views. You can zip into the heart of downtown AVL in 9 minutes, Biltmore village (and the entrance to the Biltmore property) in 8 minutes and the Asheville municipal golf course in 7 minutes. You are as close to town as you can get, while enjoying space, land, and a tranquil mountain setting! Getting Around: Uber is readily available Other Things to Note: If you are interested in using this space for an event, please contact us. Prior approval is required, there is an additional event fee, and no more than 30 guests will be considered. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Kitchenette - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Firepit ### Laundry - Dryer - Laundry facilities ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96330000/96322300/96322269/78339f0c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mountaintop Ridge | Near Asheville with Pool, Fire Pit, and Ranging Views Fairview - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 8.6 Excellent 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=96322269&PinnedHotelID=96322269&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/58000000/57120000/57119300/57119268/611ea20e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Large Cozy Cabin in Asheville Area Mountains Leicester - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 127 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=57119268&PinnedHotelID=57119268&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83680000/83673900/83673889/1228b1f7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Cottage Near Downtown, Parkway, and Biltmore South Asheville - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=83673889&PinnedHotelID=83673889&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94700000/94695400/94695361/743f7835.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW 3BR-2B home in Asheville with hot tub & firepit!
