Beyond Accommodation or Expectation

Dear guests,
If ever you needed respite from the storm and its aftermath Green Escape is here for you. My property is a refuge from the ill effects of Helene and a great place to enjoy the beauty that remains. Escape to your personal retreat.
Thanks to all my guests and friends who have reached out to me regarding the hurricane and its aftermath. We are open to host you, realizing that the draw that Asheville offered is now under repair. Restaurants are beginning to open. All our amenities are up and running like normal. We've lowered nightly rates to make your retreat all the more possible.

Green Escape is a well thought out, beautifully accommodated and welcoming, stand-alone, fully furnished two-bedroom apartment space for your stay in Asheville. We are more of a B&B option where your host lives in separate quarters on his beautiful woodland property. You can have as much or as little interaction with the host so your privacy is guaranteed. I can be chauffeur, concierge, cook, comrade, or none of those. When you book, I trust you will respect me and my beautiful accommodations and you can trust me to respect your privacy, guaranteed.
Isolate yourselves, just yourselves, always with no other guests. Your personal porch beckons or slip into the hot tub, always just yours and always ready for just you. The private and seasonal outside hot shower is always a treat when you commune with nature before, after, or both before hopping into the hot tub
The hot tub, the sylvan setting, the deep tonal wind chimes, the moon, the stars, the scents of nature, the cozy spaces, the comfy beds, the warmth of throws, covered outdoor porch, top notch service are all yours and only yours during your stay. When you book, you are my focus, you are my only guests, you never have to share with anyone, all the amenities are meant just for you.
Ready to escape into nature and still be less than 15 minutes from the buzz of Asheville? Green Escape is a spacious two bedroom, single bath apartment with good sized living room, dinette table, a kitchen with a full sized French-door fridge, coffee and tea station, stackable Samsung washer and dryer, microwave, toaster and oven/stove. (Additionally, arrangements can be made to utilize my full sized kitchen on the upper level for any formal type food experience)
Great quality queen sized mattresses and bedding. You'll find cozy, waffle weave textured spa robes for your use to lounge or transport you to your personal outdoor porch with hot tub and hot seasonal shower only steps away. If clothing optional is your gig, it's yours for the taking.
As welcoming, colorful, warm and cozy the interior spaces are in Green Escape, they are equally rivaled by the lush and colorful landscape that Tom along with mother nature provides. Mature trees with stately canopies carry your senses upwards to the stars and beyond as you soak in the hot tub just for the two of you. Shower beneath the stars or in the dappled shade of the soaring canopy as the season permits. Your covered personal porch provides shelter from the rain and is only steps away from the hot tub and outdoor hot seasonal shower.
Green Escape, although it can accommodate four is really designed for two:
husband-wife, boyfriend-girlfriend, two lovers, two friends, two husbands, two wives. All walks of life are welcomed and validated. The nightly rate is for two, but we can accommodate up to four at additional charge per person, per night.
Tom offers a place to renew, revive and relax, the way that works best for you.
We are located 7.5 miles from the Biltmore Estate as well as downtown and almost equidistant from Black Mountain. Located in an older sub-division, Green Escape is nestled in the rolling, semi-wooded landscape and yet is close enough to everything for your "Escape" back home.
Come experience a level of hosting you seldom find elsewhere. With over 20 years of innkeeping and hosting experience Tom is well versed in taking excellent care of you. Preferring a hands on approach, Tom loves and prefers meeting his guests, briefly orienting them and then setting them off for their adventures around property, downtown, and the higher elevations of the Blue Ridge!
Nestled in the rolling hills of East Asheville and close to Swannanoa, even the neighborhood offers picturesque and moderately sloped walking and hiking possibilities. Hiking poles provided.
In summary, Green Escape is here to welcome and embrace you. Come to enjoy
nature as she intended ... naturally ~~~~ and just the two of you~~~~ and with all the privacy you seek.
Tom ~~~ your host

The place was a plant lover's dream. Trees, bushes, and flowering plants galore. The house was well kept, and very at home feeling. Our host was very welcoming with a tour and exchanged numbers for if needed but didnt bother us at all. 10/10 highly recommend. We loved the area so we look forward to another stay.

World's Best Host
The property was great...very clean, a nice hot tub and heated outdoor shower was a great ending to a day spent out at youth soccer fields! But, as nice as the property was, Tom was an even better host! He was prompt and helpful with communications, often anticipating questions we might ask and answering them before we had to. He made us feel completely welcome and even offered to allow us to come back hours after we checked out in case we wanted to shower after soccer and before getting back on the road to go home. Incredible touches like stocking waters, other drinks and even fruit & pastries for breakfast. We usually go to the Asheville area 2-3 times a year and from now on we'll try to stay with Tom any time we go!

Wonderful Stay
From the moment I arrived I felt right at home. Tom was so attentive and friendly. The home was clean, warm, inviting and a sanctuary away from busy downtown Asheville. Love the eclectic feel of the decor and the beauty of the outside greenery and surroundings. This will be my go to vacation place for my stays in Asheville.

A Total Dream!! Hot Tub Sunrise in the Mountains
Tom was absolutely stellar! His house was impeccably clean, his communication from day one was on point. He had pastries, fruit, coffee, tea, water, snacks… amazing!! And having sat in a hot tub and watched a sunrise over mountains with something to write home about. If you were thinking of renting this place, look no further because it is A+!! While his house was not totally baby proofed… he didn’t complain one time that our little one had rearranged a lot of his beautiful stuff in his house. A gentleman and very kind, will definitely rent this again!!

Green Escape was the perfect place for me. Good safe neighborhood, easy walkin(no steps), very clean, good floor plan and a covered outside area for sitting. The most gracious host, Tom, went beyond the average host to make the stay most pleasant. Also, I enjoyed the Christmas decorations and lights. Highly recommend Green Escape to looking for these amenities
