It's a New Year and time to make those proverbial New Year's resolutions! A trip to the Western North Carolina mountains would be a really great resolution! A trip where you can enjoy cool days, crisp evenings, long-range views, hiking, breweries, arts/crafts galleries, antique stores - there's so much to do around the Asheville area! Aerie could be that perfect 'base camp' for your visit - a lodging option that offers awesome winter views, privacy, the 'peace and quiet' of nature, wildlife sightings, and plenty of space to simply 'be'. So, don't wait - go ahead and make those 'resolution' plans now! (4WD/AWD access only).
Aerie is a unique and wonderful place designed so that you can sit back, relax, enjoy some long range views, observe nature, and unplug from daily life for a while. There's a particular type of peace to be found here in the Blue Ridge Mountains - a sense of returning to 'our roots' - to be at one with nature - to be quiet and listen - to feel the harmony of things. Aerie is one of those special places that affords this luxury. Just 15-20 minutes from Asheville, Hendersonville, Biltmore House, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This unique 'roosting' spot is surrounded by nature, featuring a stunning window wall, open LR/DR/Kit, 2 BR/2 BA, deck, hot tub, & fire pit area. NOTE-4WD/AWD (and a sense for adventure) is REQUIRED!
While perhaps not a 'cabin' in the traditional sense, we like to think of Aerie as a 'modern cabin' given its contemporary design, remote mountain location, and rustic decor. Situated near the end of a privately maintained, single lane gravel road (4WD or AWD REQUIRED), Aerie features an open living/dining area with a stunning window wall conveying the impression of being perched high in the tree canopies. Each of the 2 bedrooms has a king-size bed and private bathroom; and the living room sofa features queen-size pull-out sofa-bed. The full kitchen is complemented with everything you need: a large island with under-counter bar seating, range, oven, microwave, full refrigerator, dishwasher, ample cabinet space, dishware, cookware, glasses, utensils and more. 5" Hickory hardwood floors throughout embody a sense of oneness with nature. While the LR fireplace is not available for guest use, an assortment of candles are staged and can be used for ambiance. The main deck has both an open area and a covered porch. A 7-person hot tub is tucked beside the cabin and the firepit offers a perfect spot for evenings spent stargazing and enjoying some scrumptious 'smores. During your stay, you'll be serenated by a variety of songbirds, may see busy little squirrels and chipmunks, and be fortunate to see some of our local wild turkeys, deer, and black bear families. If you're really lucky, you may even see a reclusive bobcat. Should you choose to stick close to the cabin, Tinkling Springs Lane and Log Gap Road offer some local hiking options as well. So, don't wait - reserve a few nights at Aerie to relax and unwind, to get away from the hustle and bustle, to enjoy the calming effects of Mother Nature at her finest!
