From Asheville Forest Baths: a restored 1920s manor turned Appalachian spa-house.
Get ready for a truly extraordinary home! Jungle Bird Manor is a restored, historic 1920s home that's bursting with charm and the perfect combination of modern and classic, complete with a private DRY BARREL SAUNA, a CEDAR HOT TUB, and a GAME ROOM you won't want to leave.
Why Jungle Bird? We love how the 1920s leaned into chinoiserie, art deco, and lush indoor plants, and you'll find all three in every room.

Good to Know
- On the property
The property does have a separate caretaker's cottage, occupied by our cleaning provider. The cottage is completely separate, with its own entrance and driveway, and won't affect your privacy at all.
- Neighborhood
Jungle Bird Manor is a hybrid: a forest mountain manor in a lightly populated neighborhood, with the convenience of a nearby main road for incredibly quick access to downtown Black Mountain.
That also means no winding mountain roads to worry about in winter. Our road is plowed quickly, the driveway is salted before any expected snow, and it's very easy access from the interstate.
The perfect place for anyone concerned about a safe and easy arrival in the mountains!
- Getting around
It's a THREE MINUTE drive to downtown Black Mountain and about 20 minutes to Asheville, with very easy access from the interstate.
There's parking for four cars right at the house.
- Guest access
The whole home is yours, along with the spa patio, the CEDAR HOT TUB, the DRY BARREL SAUNA, and the fire pit.
Everything is well lit and will be perfectly prepared for your arrival.
- Pets
To protect the quality of the home, pets are restricted at Jungle Bird Manor.
For a very well-behaved pet we can sometimes make an exception, with a pet fee.
Please reach out with details before booking if you'd like us to consider it.
- House rules
No events, parties, or commercial photography without approval.
Only clean-burning fire logs are allowed in the fire pit (no regular firewood, first round of logs provided with more on site for purchase).
