Exclusive Property Manager Special: When you book Whiskey Rock you will receive a special code for discounted tickets to the Biltmore Estate! Contact Property Manager for more info.
Location: Private home located on 50+ extremely private acres, bordering the Pisgah National Forest, 15 minutes outside of Weaverville, & only 30 minutes north of downtown Asheville. You are 45 minutes to Asheville Regional airport, and 35 minutes to the gates of Biltmore Estate. You are also an easy 20 minutes from downtown Mars Hill. It is fairly easy to access the home, via easy, paved roads, until reaching the private gravel road. The home affords year round access to any and all vehicles, but may require an "all-wheel" or 4 x 4 drive vehicle if ice or snow are present. The driveway/private gravel road does have an incline approach to the home, so in the Winter exercise caution with potential ice, and year-round we suggest front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles.
Please speak with Property Manager representative for more information and mountain driving tips.
