The Honeymoon Suite/Master Bedroom is upstairs with its own high balcony, a king bed to get lost in, a large walk-in closet and the master bath with a shower and skylight.
The main floor with full deck features two bedrooms, one with two double beds and the other with a king. These share a full tub-shower bath. The great room with cathedral ceiling and skylights features the dining area with seating for 6, plus enough folding chairs and table extender to seat another 4. The full kitchen provides dishware for 24, plus serving pieces and a wide variety of cooking utensils. You'll even find paper towels/salt & pepper, plus sweeteners so you can leave those items at home. New dishwasher and stove/oven. Beside the gas brick fireplace stands a state-of-the-art 60-inch HDTV with comprehensive movie, sports, family, and standard offerings. With the Charter Entertainment Digital Box, you can see your games, movies and programs all in spectacular HDTV where offered, and standard cable material looks superb, but be warned, the comfy seating in front of that TV and fireplace may make it a challenge to leave!
On the lower level is an office with wide counter-desk, printer and a squishy executive chair. There you'll hook up to Charter's highest speed wireless connection and take care of business while enticing mountain breezes lap against the office's deck door, beckoning to take you away "unto these hills." Also on the lower level with full length deck, there is a game room with pool table and a sofa queen bed as comfortable as any dedicated bed. Here, a wide screen 50-inch HDTV with movies and sports sits beside another brick fireplace.
Besides the two giant HDTV widescreen TVs, there is a standard TV with cable in two king bedrooms; board games are available; and, so you'll have time for it all, there is a modern washer/dryer in the convenient utility room just down from the kitchen.
There's a two-car garage and plenty of parking on the lane in front of Highland Heaven.
Renters can also use the Asheville Racquet Club, the largest tennis club in western North Carolina, at no additional charge. The club is a member of the US Tennis Association and also features a pool and fitness center.
We have a collection of pamphlets at the lodge ready to give you ideas about what all Asheville and its surrounding area have to offer. visit the Folk Art Center, Grove Acrade and Biltmore Village for unique mountain shopping. Make a reservation at nearby restaurants, including the local family favorite Iannucci's Pizzeria and Italian restaurant, the colorful and tasty La Carreta Mexican, or the authentic German Black Forest, all less than 10 minutes away from Highland Heaven. if you prefer cooking in, local organic grocery store Earthfare is just down the mountain, as are Ingle's and Harris-Teeter. A new development has opened 3 miles down the mountain from Highland Heaven which has a variety of shops, restaurants and a multiplex cinema.
Buncombe County boasts a large selection of outdoor activities, from golfing and ballooning to horseback riding and hiking in its trails. Perhaps you feel brave enough to try white water rafting or kayaking, or perhaps settling down at nearby lake Julian with a baited hook is more to your liking. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are less than an hour away, as are Craggy Gardens and Mt. Mitchell, the highest peak east of Mississippi.

We will keep your card number private and shred the data when you check out without mishap.
House-Broken Pets Welcome
We bring our clean and well-behaved pets and so can you. Just be sure they don't leave us both a stinky present on the beige rug. We won't spank them, only your MasterCard or Visa for the thorough rug cleaning. Still, we know they need a vacation, too. And these days you can save a substantial portion of your vacation rent by avoiding a big vet bill. We're members and workers in our local Humane Society (hope you are) and we think landlords have an obligation to include the "rest of the family".
If you would like to bring a pet, please download our pet policy and enclose it with your deposit.
