Historic Country Estate in Asheville

The Carolina Jewel is the most unique vacation rental in the Asheville area. The main house has history and character and maintains a casual luxury that other homes cannot duplicate. The two houses sit about 100 yards apart and are joined by a footbridge over the creek with water cascading over the moss covered rocks. The porches, decks, benches, and a firepit all provide the setting for creating precious memories.

The Carolina Jewel has 5 bedrooms in the historic 1845 Victorian Farmhouse and an additional 2 bedrooms in the spacious Creekside Crystal Cottage on the property across the creek underneath a canopy of trees. Each of the suites in the Historic house, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has its’ own unique charm. All bedrooms have private baths and fireplaces equipped with gas logs.
The oldest portion of the home, the Great Room that was built in 1845, has rustic rough-hewn logs and its fireplace is made of rocks pulled from the fields outside. Adjacent to the great room is the fully stocked modern kitchen and laundry room for your use. In 1880 an addition, of the Victorian style, was added to the log cabin to accommodate the growing family. A major interior renovation in 1999, added luxury bathrooms without disturbing the charm of the by gone era.
The Carolina Jewel is situated on 4 acres with a stream running through the property, a great firepit, swing, hammocks, decks, porches, and a large level area for the kids to run and play.

The Carolina Jewel locations is ideal with the heart of downtown Asheville only 15 minutes away. Uber and Lyft will pick up and deliver to the Carolina Jewel. The charming town of Weaverville is only 8 miles away and the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance is a mere 5 miles. Many of the top outdoor activities are located within a 20 minute drive; everything from river rafting to zip lines and gem mining! There is even an apple orchard in the neighborhood.
