Three miles to North Mills River Campground and 20 minutes to Pisgah National Forest and Bent Creek. Biltmore Estate, downtown Hendersonville, Brevard & Asheville are under 25 minutes away. Uber, lyft and taxi services are generally available given our proximity to the AVL airport.

Access to the house is easy and keyless. You won't need 4 wheel drive to get here, either! You will access the guest house via a Schlage smart lock using a numerical code for your entire stay.

Inside you’ll find a fully equipped open kitchen, dining area and living room with a large picture window overlooking a mountain and valley with a homestead farm of about 50 acres. Two bedrooms and one full bath sleeps 5.

The Crow's Nest is peaceful, quiet and tranquil. You’ll feel a million miles away, but you’ll have all the comforts and conveniences of home. Outside you’ll have access to a fire pit where you can gather under the stars ✨ and a table and chair set for 6. Should you choose to stay in and relax or get out and about, either way you won’t go wrong. Adventure and our beautiful mountains will be awaiting you.

A few things to note before booking The Crow's Nest:

*You will have to climb 19 exterior steps to get to the entrance of our guest house. There are no interior steps once you’re inside.

*Our internet can occasionally be slow and spotty. (We are in a valley surrounded by mountains- go figure!) Some days it runs well (around 72 mbps) and others not so much. We have a separate and free WiFi for our guest house; you’ll be given the network name and password before you arrive. You’ll need to enable your phone for WiFi calling since cell service is unreliable where we live.

*We do allow pets (housebroken dogs only for a maximum of 2) for a one time $80 fee. Please make sure to check the box "I am traveling with pets" on the "travelers” portion of your reservation so that the pet fee will automatically generate.

*Our surrounding yard is large but it is not fenced in, so your dog will need to remain under your control when on our property, as we routinely have deer, turkey and rabbits visit us here. There is a low voltage electric fence on the farmland next door and below our property so be sure to make children aware of this and do your best to keep pets away from the fencing.

*The gravel road in front of our house is a privately maintained driveway that leads to two other full time residences. Please do not go down our road out front past our house, (to the right of our property as looking at it from the front) as while our neighbors are wonderful and friendly they would prefer to maintain their privacy.

*Before booking, please be sure to read over our house rules first to make sure it is a good fit for your group. When you make your reservation, please tell us the total number of people in your group and should you be travelling with any pets, let us how many you will be bringing. Lastly, if you have any specific questions about the property, please feel free to include a message with your booking request.

Thank you for your interest in The Crow's Nest! We look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you!

AWESOME
This place is surprisingly even better and bigger than it looks in the pictures! It’s clean and comfortable and comes with just about everything you could need for a fun trip. The owners are super friendly and made sure that we were all set. We used this place for a guys’ trip and it was perfect for the remote vibes and a quick drive to our river tubing and a super easy drive to Asheville! I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for the mountain vibes and also convenience to Asheville.

Family getaway
We really enjoyed our stay. It was quiet with a great view of the mountains from the valley. Conveniently located between Brevard, Asheville, and Henderson, it was an easy drive to access tons of fun things. Location was clean and had all the accommodations we could need.

A Peaceful Weekend Retreat
We enjoyed our stay at The Crow's Nest. The "cottage" was very clean, decorated nicely and provided everything we needed. The view from the family room was lovely. Wes and Leslie were very helpful giving us suggestions for places to eat and things to do. The area is quaint but close enough to Hendersonville, Black Mountain and Brevard that one could easily make day trips to these small towns. We did spend a day in Hendersonville and enjoyed walking through the town, shopping and eating. Our experience staying at The Crow's Nest was a very peaceful and enjoyable one and we plan to go back there in the fall.
