Awesome mountainside house!
This house had everything, and it was clean and super-comfortable! Upstairs you have a modern kitchen, living room with reclining sofa, bedroom with king bed, walk-in closet with washer and dryer, and bathroom with shower. Downstairs is similar, but with a smaller kitchen and tub/shower. A wrap-around deck provides gorgeous views.

Great Spot to Relax
The property is perfectly located for things to do in the Ashville area. House is really nice and well kept. My amazement of using touch lamps again took me back to when I was a kid. Has a really nice view looking over the valley with a large back porch. Just be prepared for the ride up the side of the mountain to get to the house. I found it to be exciting and really lets you know you are staying in the mountains. You will love this place if you are wondering to book or not.

Driveway unbelievable
I was there for a wedding, with my mother that is 90 years old. The house is beautiful, but the terrain and getting around was completely difficult for us. Then we knew the hurricane Helene was coming through, and the day that we got to the property within one hour. I called them to cancel, everything. I knew that it was not going to be some thing that we could handle, the driveway was extremely small and I have And all wheel drive vehicle and spun my tires just trying to get up the mountain. I was extremely dissatisfied with the description of the property, and the fact that they would not even work with me for a refund. Even after we called the first hour we were there.

Loved our stay at Windy Ridge!
The property and location are just as described and we loved feeling like we were secluded in the woods but close to town and lots of things to do. We went to two breweries, took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, saw several waterfalls. We also enjoyed watching the bears eating acorns while we sat on the deck. It was also a great space for our dog with the fenced yard and decks. Would definitely stay here again if we get back to the area!

Exactly What We Needed!
Place was perfect for us. Kitchen appliances new and well stocked in the way of dishes, glassware, etc. Upstairs bedroom/bath and kitchen/living area with TV. Downstairs bedroom/bath and kitchenette. I can see using the downstairs for a 2nd couple/friend/child/parent ... Wonderful back porch overlooking small, fenced yard. The road (driveway of sorts) needs a little work but we made it just fine. Wonderful communication with owners - they didn't bother us at all but replied to messages quickly. We're already talking about a return trip-

High windy rebuew
House was quite nice. Everything new and in good order. Exactly what we wanted. But … the road up the mountain is dangerous. It is in poor repair, narrow, unlit, and without guardrails. We went to lengths to avoid driving it at night or in the rain. It is not the owner’s responsibility, but a distinct drawback

A perfect summer retreat
I can’t say enough about the property and the hosts. We were there a month, and I could have stayed another 30 days. The back deck is so peaceful…birds, butterflies, deer, and an occasional bear. Had doggies with us, and the fenced in yard is in perfect shape. Kitchen is spacious, and bedrooms and baths are well laid out as well. It’s 3 minutes down the mountain and 15 min to Black Mountain or downtown Asheville. I really hope we have the opportunity to return.

Amazing Asheville!
Our stay at High Windy was wonderful! We were in town for a family wedding at the Biltmore and the location was perfect - only about 15 minutes from away. We also have friends in the area and enjoyed the fabulous hiking trails. The road up the the house is very steep and narrow but otherwise we loved the house and would definitely recommend!

Appropriately named 'High' and 'Windy'
The property was great, impeccably clean, and well-equipped as per the property description. The deck was very appealing but we missed out on spending more quality time thereon appreciating the view and the solitude because it always seemed to be 'windy' and a wee bit chilly. The drive up to the property was not exactly for the faint of heart, in fact the steepness and twists were a bit daunting at first but we soon got used to it. Overall we had a great time and were well pleased with the facility while communication with the owners was instant and very pleasant. JFYI the property is about 5 miles from downtown Asheville but it's an easy drive. Two enthusiastic thumbs up from myself, my wife and my daughter.
