PLanning a group of 10 to 12 for a week of riding around Asheville, NC. Anyone know of a good house rental for cyclists. Prefer mountain setting near the Blue Ridge with a hot tub and deck. If you have any leads please send me an email.

Can I sign up?
Not sure of the exchange rate between dollar CAN and US, but I'll pay the difference.
Ashville is beautiful, and there is a ton of great rides around there.

I haven't been on the site for a bit, but you might want to check Vacation Rentals By Owner www.vrbo.com to see what's available.

And we thank you for infusing the US economy with real currency

www.vrbo.com has been good for me. Found a nice place in Maine and another in Ohio, both were $100/night. The place in Maine was a 1 BR apartment, the place in Ohio was a 3 or 4 BR house.

Post your question in the 50+ forum. Bikewnc may be able to help you. Ashville is really nice. If you want to stay in a place that is really, really nice, take a look at https://www.watershedcabins.com/

These places are farther west than Ashville, but the cabins, and the area are spectacular, and you can ride mtn bike at Tsali and white water raft/kayak at Nantahala.

Enjoy.

Friends of mine own this place. Don't think it has a hot tub, but it does have a sauna! It's not far at all from the Blue Ridge Parkway.

They also recently built another cabin on an adjoining lot, so they may be able to accommodate more people than that site indicates. Just ask.

Thanks for the help everyone. We have a mix of riders. plan is to do 35 mile road in the morning, MTB in afternoon and be close to some other activities like paddling and hiking. I haven't found many houses with single beds and thinking most of the guys don't want to snuggle up. Any locals who have some favourite routes please post some map links!

Finding a place for rent that is all single bedding is going to be a hard chore. You guys might have to deal with it. Tell them they can use sleeping bags on the beds if they feel the need for seperation. Here's a link below for some routes. If some of you have Garmins, you can download the routes right into them. Sounds like a cool trip. Enjoy!!

The Blue Ridge Bicycle Club (https://blueridgebicycleclub.org) has cue sheets for many good rides. See the menu at the left side of their homepage.

Buncombe County also has a cool Bicycle Suitability layer in its online GIS mapping. Go here (https://buncombecounty.org/governing/...sp?newsID=9186) to read about it, then click through to the GIS system to access the maps.

There's a lot of good hiking immediately available via the Mountains-to-Sea trail and numerous hikes off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The best paddling is a little further afield, in areas like the Nantahala Gorge or on the French Broad River north of Marshall. Nantahala Outdoor Center runs rafting trips on all the area rapids, so you can get a feel for what's available at their site, www.noc.com.

It's a bit south of Asheville, but Table Rock State Park in South Carolina has an awesome cabin that will definitely accommodate you. Plus it's right at the base of Caesars Head which is an awesome climb.

I know that all through February and March there are groups of Canadian riders that come down and stay in various places north of Greenville.

If you are there and do Caesars Head I'll probably see you guys. . .I try to get there a few times a week.

Thanks Boyd. Those cabins look great and will be ideal for a more rustic trip. This group we are going for more comfort and luxuries. All the big cabins around Asheville are looking to be pretty pricey for a week in Spring. We have an amazing place in Seneca, South Carolina we have used before so we likely will return here. Kind of wanted the mountain scenery this time. Anyone with Garmin routes around Seneca, Lake Keowee area please post some rides!
