CozyGreat for Fitness LoversRelaxing
Everything you need to have a personal or couple's retreat in the mountains! Find your spirit, Calm your senses, Train for a race, or Experiment with your sexy self...
Guests will enjoy a private room in my home and share the expansive outdoor and indoor spaces of this lakeside property.
Come to the mountains to unplug, relax, and rejuvenate underneath the 100 ft. pines and oaks, surrounded by luscious foliage and flowers either on the screened porch, the sun deck, or down in the garden by the fire pit. If you are a bird enthusiast, you will not be disappointed! Just steps away, the lake beckons for kayaking, fishing, or simply a nice walk around the lakeside road, and over the dam bridge. The community is secluded (but only a few minutes from town!), so running and biking are accessible to enjoy and train right here during a stay. A far-infrared sauna built for 2 on the porch is waiting for you to relax your muscles, and your host is trained in massage for those wanting to take advantage of a more spa-like experience.
The interior of the house, and both deck and porch are clothing optional for those who prefer the naturist lifestyle.
For YOUR comfort: Hardwood floors and 100% Wool carpets, Whole house 4 stage water filtration, HEPA+ air purification, No harsh chemical cleaners or detergents. The host does not have allergies, but if you do, this is a place where you can relax and enjoy!
1 Gbps Wi-Fi, and a 56" OLED smartTV connect you seamlessly to Netflix or other streaming services if you are so inspired.
This is a shared space, and only one bathroom, however, your host does have a private office where he is often working, which does afford you a fair amount of privacy if you so desire. Coffee and tea are readily available for guests, and because the host is a Chef, don't be surprised when meals are offered as part of your stay!

I'm an avid swimmer, training for long-distance marathon swims, but as an outdoor enthusiast, you'll also find me camping, kayaking, hiking, and practicing a life of healthy pleasure!
I love to cook and going out to restaurants, but I don't drink or smoke. I enjoy spending time on my porch in the sauna, and also outdoors tending to my little slice of heaven on the lake.
I'm also a Sacred Intimate Bodyworker and Performance Eating Coach, so as your host, I have a lot to offer for your stay at my Lakeside Retreat!

Ken is a wonderful host. He was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. His home is absolutely so peaceful and serene. It is surrounded by a beautiful lake and all the nature that you can take in. It is centrally located to so many great short day trips, and/or simply stay there and wonderful Hendersonville and discover the magic of the mountains. Book today this was such an amazing find. Do yourself a favor schedule a massage with him as well.

Ken was a wonderful host. His instructions were clear, easy to follow, and he was very friendly. The place itself is so relaxing, surrounded by huge trees and plenty of birds, which I really enjoyed. I also loved that it's within walking distance to the lake and close to Downtown, which was also a nice experience. Ken is such a kind person, and I truly enjoyed our conversations. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to relax and take a quick escape from your busy life.

The lakeside retreat is located in a very picturesque setting in NC. Words I would use to describe this setting would include cozy, clean and relaxing. Host was personable, gracious and a good listener. The stay allowed me to unwind and relax. I scheduled and enjoyed a massage and would recommend it to any future visitors. It was money well spent.

Ken's place was just as decided. Nice wooded home and a good spot to disconnect. I was able to enjoy time out on the screened porch listening to the birds and feeling the breeze. Fell right asleep with the windows open and listening to the rain. My schedule shifted and Ken was accommodating with my arrival and departure. I would recommend if you're looking for a spot to relax outside of Asheville.

Thanks so much Blair! The weather really cooperated for your visit. I love it when that works out. The climate up here in the mountains is so mild even in the summer! Glad I could accommodate your timing needs!

Ken was an incredible and gracious host, making me feel at home from the start. He was extremely personable and easy to talk with, but was also happy to give space to enjoy relaxing at his beautiful home. The lakeside setting is amazing, and so serene for enjoying some true quiet time, but still easy to get in and out to whatever you are hoping to see and do in the area. Just a magnificent gem and one I plan to visit again in the future.

Ken was a fantastic host. Very responsive and helpful from the time of booking forward. He has a beautiful, calming, relaxing home by the water, a perfect getaway. He provided excellent recommendations of things I could do while I was in town that suited my interest, and he did not disappoint with those recommendations. I plan to visit again. We had great conversations and a lovely dinner, and Ken has a kind heart and is very attuned with people and very open. Anyone who books their stay at Ken's beautiful home will not be disappointed.
