Great quiet location!

Loved the serenity of this vacation home! We enjoyed the beautiful mountain views in the morning while sipping our coffee. Great location - with easy drive to downtown Asheville or Black Mountain.

Perfect Getaway

We really enjoyed staying at Mountain Rose. The location was perfect. It had beautiful views and felt away from it all but was also located minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and downtown Asheville. The house itself is lovely. Karen checked in with us frequently and made sure everything was going well.

Enjoyed our stay here

The property was very nice...good location, beautiful view, nice community and clean/well furnished. Our host was great to work with and made us feel very welcome. The only reason I gave 4 stars on two of the ratings was the outside of the property was very overgrown and not as shown in the photos that were used in the listing.

Comfortable, clean and charming!

The owners have thought of everything to make your visit pleasant and comfortable. We enjoyed greeting each day with mountain top views and watching wild turkeys forage nearby. The property is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and easy to access, plus a short drive to the grocery store. It was one of our best vacations in years!

Location is out of the way, but not so far that shopping would be an inconvenience. We saw a mama and baby deer just outside the kitchen window our first morning, and multiple animals visited during our stay. The owner was EXCELLENT about answering questions and was easy to contact. The kitchen amenities exceeded our expectations - we were able to cook breakfast easily and reheat whatever leftovers we brought in. And having a washer/dryer onsite was a huge help.

Mountain Rose Visit

The property is beautiful. The home, large and comfortable, the gardens natural and lovely. the views are beautiful. The only negative was a general musty smell which was erased when we opened the windows and though the towels were clean, they had a very musty smell .We found the house to be very well equipped and were grateful for the coffee and other basics..

Asheville Mountain Rose

This home is located in a very wooded, quiet and private neighborhod. Karen our host was very attentive during our stay and checked in with us several times. She helped me immediately with a request to stay an additional night. The home is very well appointed with two bedrooms and two full baths. We especially enjoyed the wonderful sunroom right off of the living room. The mountain views are beautiful . There is a wood burning fireplace in the living room and a gas fireplace in the master bedroom. It is in a very good location with Asheville just a short drive away.

Blue Ridge Vista

My brother and I spent a week in the Asheville area mountain biking and found the property perfect for our needs. We were within 25 minutes of downtown Asheville and within 90 minutes from a myriad of mountain bike destinations. The garage was perfect for storing bikes and the kitchen was well equipped for meal prep. There is a grocery store within 10 minutes of the house. The property owner was responsive and made the experience of renting very simple. We would rent here again.

Enjoyable stay in a great location!

We loved this location- it was honestly perfect between Asheville and Black Mountain. We hiked every day and there are numerous trails within less than 30 minutes drive. We ate out in East Asheville as well as Black Mountain. Excellent stay- read carefully the description! It is accurate, but I don’t think our friends kiddos would have been able to stay in the space with the lounge chairs that turn into beds. The master bedroom is large enough for kiddos to stay with you in there. Overall rating was a 5 but I will say there were a few kitchen items we could have used (larger sheet pan and better knives). But really I would give it a 4.5 and I imagine they could remedy quickly by sharpening knives and purchasing a bigger sheet pan! :-) The home also does need to be aired out when you arrive, but this is a very quick fix with great and easy to open windows.

Peaceful, romantic getaway

My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at Karen's lovely home. This was a last minute booking for me, and Karen was quick and courteous in her replies. The space is large, bright, and well appointed. Though we didn't eat in, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'd need. WiFi works great. There are two large bathrooms. It's super nice to have access to a washer & dryer. The only downside is the steep driveway, and its limited turnaround space. The steepness wasn't a problem for my F-150 pickup truck, but I had to back down the driveway each time I left because I was unable to turn around. I became very good at it by the end! Thanks again, Karen!

Bright and Inviting

This is a beautiful, cozy home with an amazing view to the area mountains with three decks to choose from! It is also located close to the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway and to Ingles, a major grocery store chain. Water quality was also amazing (we usually buy a bag of ice, but no need here!) We enjoyed the nearby Creekside Taphouse, "A Neighborhood Joint", for great burgers, fries and trivia! The only drawback to the location is that there was no place we could walk our dog as the neighborhood roads are quite steep (okay for driving, though) and the adjoining highway is a bit too busy with no sidewalk or shoulder. We found the walking paths at the nearby Warren Wilson College campus and the large yard at the Veteran's Hospital a great substitute, however. Wifi was reliable. Neighborhood is quiet. Kitchen is well-stocked. Abundant closet and storage space. Overall, a great home away from home!

Visiting family

Our daughter recently relocated to the Asheville area so we were excited to visit and check out some of the scene. Instead of staying in a hotel, we thought a place with more elbow room and other features would make the 3 of us more comfortable. Karen and Jonathan's property was perfect. A short ride from the interstate, a short driving distance to downtown, the Biltmore and hiking, made the property perfect. Being elevated, the living room has great views of area mountains and a valley. Bird watching is great, as is sitting and drinking coffee or other beverages, or just be vegetating. The house was very clean, with the kitchen having a good supply of cooking and eating utensils. Living room and bedroom furniture was very comfortable. We all enjoyed the home and the grounds. We will be back to visit our daughter when the trees and flowers start to bud, and this home will be at the top of the list for our future visit(s).

Three Week 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!

Family vacation

Karen was easy to work with always communicating in a polite and timely manner. The place was great for my Wife and me and our Three children ( 4 yr, 2 yr and just under 1 yr old). There was a good amount of space for us to set things up for them and keep hiking stuff and strollers in the garage. We were just a short trip to a grocery store but still felt quite Remote. The kitchen was well supplied allowing us to prepare family meals which we enjoy on vacation. Solid vacation home for families!

Comfy and well-appointed

This was the perfect home base for my family and me to explore Asheville. Very accessible to downtown, the River Arts District, and the Biltmore. Very comfy beds & pillows, well-appointed kitchen, lovely living room with comfy couches and sofa chairs around a wood-burning fireplace, gorgeous views thru the sunroom of the surrounding mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
