It’s the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility — a place to breathe, restore, and reconnect. Created with care and devotion, this sanctuary has been a space of deep healing for us, and it brings us joy to share the peace and presence we’ve found here with you. From the moment you arrive along the gravel drive, the calm of the forest begins to settle in. Step inside and feel the warmth of a home inspired by journeys through the Indian and Nepalese Himalayas — where simplicity and sacredness meet. The wraparound porch invites slow mornings and restful evenings. Enjoy tea as the sun rises, unwind in the hot tub and barrel sauna beneath the stars, or gather by the fire pit for conversation, song, or quiet reflection. Whether you come to restore, celebrate, or simply rest, this space invites you to arrive fully and be met by the mountains. At the center of the house lies a living room designed for presence and connection. Large windows draw the mountains inward, and the outward-facing couch offers a place for contemplation and conversation. At its heart stands a central altar — around it are instruments, books, and art chosen to evoke stillness, curiosity, and reverence. You’re invited to engage with the space in your own way — to sit in silence, create music, read, pray, or simply be. The home offers two serene bedrooms: a king suite with a full bath and a queen suite with a standing shower. Each room is designed for rest, with soft light, natural textiles, and subtle reflections of harmony and devotion. The kitchen is fully equipped for ease and nourishment, complete with a rotating selection of coffees, teas, spices, and local goodies. Within a thirty minutes drive, you’ll find some of the most breathtaking overlooks and trails along this side of the Blue Ridge Parkway. We’re happy to share our favorite local hikes, cafés, and hidden gems nearby. The house stays naturally cool beneath the trees in summer; open the windows for the mountain breeze, or use the central HVAC system as you wish. In cooler months, the gas logs in the living room offer cozy warmth — perfect for quiet evenings or conversation by firelight. Our wish is that your time here supports your rest, your rhythm, and your renewal. Blessings, Kate and Nick ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Music library - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall ### Things to do - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Smart TV, fireplace, books, printers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/82000000/81220000/81211000/81210987/55cdb5d0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic House in Downtown Waynesville!
