Unwind in the quiet mountains outside of Asheville, NC, unwind from life's stressors, and rejuvenate your mind and body as you forest bathe through one-way glass walls.
Relax in your private hot tub or picnic on a hidden trail to a private meadow and a 200-year-old chimney. Entirely off-grid and sustainable, this sought-after haven for singles and couples alike brings modern luxury into nature.
Whether it's a quiet place to work, reconnect with a loved one, or take some time away for yourself, this gem in the forest is unlike anything else in the area.
The space
The mirror house is organized as a studio space with the living room doubling as a bedroom and uses a creative Murphy wall bed. This makes the space feel far bigger, as do the windows on nearly all sides of you. However, the bathroom itself is small, leaving minimal storage space for your things. The mirrors are coated with a special patented anti-bird strike technology inside to prevent birds from not seeing the structure. To date, we have never had a bird strike.
There are two places to stay at Glassy Stays, but the 30-foot geodesic dome (the largest transparent dome in North America) is still under construction. Please note that no work will be done on the weekends, that construction will not start until 9:00 am during the week and will go no later than 5:00 pm. And construction will not be all day/every day. The dome is approximately 300 feet from the mirror house. All lengths will be taken during this time to stay out of your way and ensure that your vacation is relaxing and quiet. Please let us know if you have any specific requests about this issue.
There is a neighbor in the holler who will occasionally practice target shooting on his property. The sound from this can be heard from outside the mirror house. He typically alerts us ahead of time and we will let you know about this whenever possible.
Guest access
While staying at Glassy Stays, you will have access to approximately 14 acres of forest, walking trails, and access to Little Ivy Creek (across the main road). There is also a large meadow on the property with a 19th-century chimney. Feel free to meander on the hiking trails. The only spot off-limits to you is the direct vicinity around the dome (as that will be rented to another guest after the current construction is completed).
Other things to note
Please read all details about the property before booking.
To all nature enthusiasts, the mirrors are coated with a special patented anti-bird strike technology inside to prevent birds from not seeing the structure. To date, we have never had a bird strike.
There are no curtains in the mirror house to maximize your view of the forest around you. If you require curtains, this is not the rental for you. The windows are tinted with one-way mirrored tinting, however. This means that during the day, no one can see into the mirror house. At night, if you have the lights on, it is possible to see inside. However, none of the glass walls are facing public spaces, so there should be no one in the vicinity to see in. There is privacy tinting (to make the windows opaque) in the bathroom so that when you shower and use the restroom, you have complete privacy at all times of the day. It is important to note as well that the bathroom and the available space inside for your things is small.
There is no luggage rack to put your luggage in at this time. The space is limited inside the mirror house and all nooks and crannies have been used efficiently. Please let us know if you need a luggage rack before your stay and we can arrange to have one delivered. Otherwise, we recommend unloading your gear in the storage spaces and putting your suitcase in your car out of the way.
The closet space at the mirror house is very limited. There is only a small 18" closet to the left of the bed structure. You can use this to hang clothes. There are also shelves and drawers for your belongings.
Due to the off-grid nature of this property, if there is a power outage we have provided a battery-powered lantern for temporary lighting which can be found under the kitchen sink. There is an electric sub-panel by the front door which would need to be flipped back on to gain power again.
Jason was a great host to work with. The location was perfect and a great scenery with the experience of tiny home living. Glad the weather was nice to be able to enjoy the outdoor luxuries that came the stay

Jason went above and beyond anything you could want out of an Airbnb! This was such a funky and cool tiny house! The instructions left were very clear and I really appreciated the tiny details like having the go tub on a timer for when you arrive. Stay here it’s close enough to downtown and it’s private and peaceful! Will be returning! :)
