Let me know if youre interested in booking any of these; I have logins with all the villa sites. Thanks!
Most of these villas are in Punta Cana for access to golf and nice beaches. Prices are tricky over Christmas and can often double as you can see in some of the options at the bottom of the list below. All of these can have private chefs for an additional fee.
I don’t have any villa partners with properties in Highlands, but I’ve found some AirBNBs. Prices are pretty reasonable, so I’ve included some larger places than needed.
If you want to stay closer to Asheville in a hotel, I really like the look of Catalooche Ranch. Wynn and I were supposed to stay there last year, but then the hurricane hit and cancelled our trip. Rooms start at $731/nt.
