Private Retreat w/ Hot Tub, Amazing Views, Game Room | Silver Spoon by AvantStay

Escape to the scenic landscapes surrounding Asheville and discover Silver Spoon, your haven overlooking rolling valleys. This stunning cabin invites you to unwind amidst nature's grandeur, boasting a spacious deck adorned with a bubbling hot tub and loungers, where panoramic views stretch as far as the eye can see.

Savor the fresh air while grilling on the upper balcony's BBQ, or dine al fresco as you look toward the hills. Inside, vaulted ceilings and expansive windows frame the landscape, flooding the airy living room with natural light. Sink into the embrace of the large sectional by the fireplace as you choose what to put on for a movie night.

From intimate breakfasts at the four-person table to casual chats over kitchen creations at the barstools, the fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prep and serve at-home meals and snacks. For entertainment, indulge in friendly competition in the lower lounge with a pool table (also converts to a ping pong table!) or ascend to the upper lounge, where a loveseat and beanbags offer cozy relaxation.

Retreat to one of three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms, where dreams come easy. The primary suite boasts a king bed and an attached ensuite. Meanwhile, the second bedroom offers a queen bed, and the third delights with two twin-over-twin bunk beds, the perfect sleepover spot for kids. The loveseat on the upper level converts to a queen-size sleep sofa for additional space. With a second full bathroom, and a half bathroom on the main level, convenience is key for families and groups seeking solace in this elevated sanctuary.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more.

Excellent property that was very convenient to the wedding event that we had in Leicester. The property is private with an excellent view to the east for morning sunrise. The check-in process couldn't have been any easier while the house was filled with everything needed for our 6 day stay. We will definitely recommend to others.

Beautiful home in a convenient location.

The house was wonderful. Close to Asheville, Maggie Valley (skiing) and Mars Hill (tubing). Some of the listing information was inaccurate - it’s not a gas fireplace and the rooms do not have separate thermostats as advertised. There was also very little hot water so most of our group had cold showers but it was a nice visit.

Great house and amenities

There are a couple of things that need to be addressed: 1) First step main entrance is rotted away and is a trip hazard. 2) Curtains in main bedroom can not be raised, pull strings are missing. 3) Shower heads in main bathroom shower need to be replaced, one is not working properly. 4) Signage could help to find the house/driveway upon approach, not very clear. 5) Drain connected to evaporation lined of HVAC system gets clogged and maybe there is a better way to manage this. Flooded part of the poolroom, agent was prompt to address but could still be a problem for a guest in the future if not addressed.

Lovely, clean house. Loved eating on the deck and looking down into the valley with farms and scattered houses. No neighbors looking into our windows and deck unless you count a family of wild turkey's passing by.

WOW! Even better than we expected

This property was amazing. The photos online didn't do it justice. It was large, comfortable and stacked with everything we needed. The view was unbelievable from the hot tub! That was a huge hit with my daughter and her boyfriend. The sunrises were stunning. The house itself is very well designed and there are no direct neighbors which is a plus for us! The only suggestion I have would be to perhaps replace the living room sofa, it is very low to the ground and not super comfortable. We would stay at this property again for sure!

Nice Place - Great Views

Overall, it is a very nice home with a great views. They need to update their listing description, however. It does NOT have a gas fire pit on the deck as shown in the pictures. Due to some fire restrictions or something but they should note that. Also, the daily "free" items are not accurate. Ski and tubing resort have not been open for years, for example.

Amazing View

We stayed here as part of a trip we gift our in-laws with to see the Biltmore at Christmas. It’s a great location for views, spacious house and had nice kitchen and entertaining areas. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were actually nice quality. The only con was waiting to get into the house until quite a bit after check in because the cleaning crew was not done cleaning. They apologized over and over and were very sweet and explained they were put behind by unusual circumstances. I think we waited outside nearly an hour. We hung out on the deck which again the views made up for the inconvenience. There were a few minor things that needed repair and the cleaning wasn’t as good as hoped but I think they were really rushing to get us in after being behind. My kids loved the pool table, my in-laws loved the great sized first floor master. We all loved that the kitchen was easy to cook in. I also loved the 5 star views and that everyone was happy. We would visit again!

great location, relaxing stay

The place was beautiful and great value for the price. hot tub and pool table were big selling points for us amlnd they did not disappoint. The view was amazing as well! The only downside was the need for some blackout curtains in the master bedroom. If you dont want to wake up with the sun in the morning youll need to bring an eye-mask to sleep. The upstairs AC didnt work but that didnt matter to us because there were only two of us and everything we needed was on the lower levels. I will definitely be back next year if they change the curtain situation. Property management was responsibe and great as well! Overall, 5/5.

Beautiful house with gorgeous view

What I enjoyed most about this stay: Bucolic mixed farmland and forest views with a mountains backdrop, beautifully constructed and designed home with huge windows covering a very high living room, outstanding and spacious hot tub with views, spacious and well appointed kitchen with Nespresso coffee maker, great game room. What I enjoyed least: broken AC on second floor upon arrival, fixed on third day and then tech left first floor AC breaker off, had to figure it out ourselves. No working curtains on master bedroom to control amount of light and heat from sun, near impossible to lock master bedroom door that leads to deck. Some wear an tear (most shower heads malfunctioning, stuck drawers, torn ping pong paddles). Some minor cleaning issues like accumulated toilet plaque, food crumbs under sofa, some dirt inside hot tub.

Great mountain getaway

The house was as shown and described. I would definitely recommend to a friend. The only negative was the housekeepers weren't done when we got there at check-in time and they didn't finish up until 1.5 hours later. Apparently the guests before had done some damage. I'm sure this isn't a regular thing and the property manager did offer us a later check-out to make up for it, but that didn't do us any good as we already had to leave as scheduled to get to our next stop.

My husband and I stayed at this property for a long weekend. The house was charming, comfortable, clean, and had everything we wanted. The hot tub was excellent, as were the views. You feel as if you are in the country, but Asheville is a short drive away. We can’t wait to bring our family back for another stay.

Weekend with the fellas

My cousins wedding was coming up and I searched and searched for the perfect place. I did not just carve out the perfect place? It had it all. Views, amenities from nespresso to a hot tub! Plenty of room for fun and the basement has it all! Pool table, ping pong, and a bar with a TV! I could go on and on but this place checked all the boxes. Be mindful it’s 20-30 minute drive from all the bar and restaurants. The roads can be windy so be safe! Overall it was picture perfect!

3 BR House in Leicester, NC

House is very spacious. The view of the mountains is stunning. House is very light and airy. The kitchen is very large and is moderately well equipped. It is, however, very hard to get to the property by car, hard to park in the driveway, and also hard to get in the front door from where you must park: Big uneven steps made of stone and without handrails.

Great Mountain Getaway Near Asheville

This home was perfect for our family vacation. It's just far enough away from DT Asheville to feel like you're staying in the mountains, but close enough to make the trip into town with ease. It has plenty of space and amenities. We really enjoyed the hot tub, wood burning fireplace, and ping pong table. The views of the mountains are fantastic!
