30 wonderful days in Asheville

The home, yard, parking and access to the greater Asheville area were all excellent. The furniture was comfortable and modern. The master bedroom and bath were both up to date, very nice and everything worked. The kitchen was really well appointed. So, if you like to cook, you should be in good shape. We did bring a cast iron skillet but we both really like to cook. One thing - the internet can be a little spotty at times but that is not the fault of the property owner. Overall, this place was great. I would highly recommend staying here if you are seeking a blend of quiet living that is close to the local nightlife and regional attractions this area has to offer.

Nice stay!

The host was pleasant and quick to respond to some questions... The home has an open floor plan home with newer furnishings. The kitchen was well stocked. A nice dining area and spacious great room. The master bedroom was pretty and had a huge closet. The other 2 bedrooms are small, especially the room with the double bed (had to hang clothes in other rooms because closet was locked). Two small people could not even sleep in that double bed room. Should maybe buy a queen bed and get rid of small useless chest for it to fit well. ** The only "not so nice surprise" to this rental is the Basement downstairs is also rented out and they also parked where we did. Suddenly there were strangers at the home and staying in the basement. They have their own entrance, but we thought this was a totally private home. Made it difficult to sit on the deck in case we were overheard... Also made us worried the other people would make noise. They didn't make noise in this case, but we were not expecting extra people in the home at all. I think it should be disclosed in the listing to be completely clear.... Otherwise a very good stay that was convenient to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville and our Weaverville wedding venue.

Wonderful home and location for an Asheville visit

Our family of four adults stayed in this lovely home on our weekend visit to Asheville. The house is very lovely and the back deck with fire pit was such a wonderful addition. The location was perfect. Secluded yet within minutes of the city. Jason was the perfect host! Informative, great communicator, easily assessable. We couldn’t have been more pleased. We look forward to returning,

About the host

Hosted by Jason Frahm

Host profile image
I am entrepreneur who teaches meditation and life coaching. As well, I've had rental properties for two decades and am now inspired to host a vacation rental. I love traveling the world and primarily stay in vacation homes to support the local economy and have the convenience of vacationing in a home. It's a true pleasure to give you the opportunity to enjoy this home in the sweetness of nature.

Why they chose this property

Imagine feeling relaxed and at peace as you awake to quiet and stillness with the gentle sounds of the birds chirping and the deer grazing. You can take a stroll into the Olivette trails to the North or the Woodfin Riverside Park that both ride along the French Broad.

The house is set up for you to enjoy a quiet or adventurous vacation with all the amenities you would have in your own home.

This is a stunning property set in nature (with an expansive lawn and abundance of privacy with a forest of mature trees) with the unique benefit of being close to town. Also, this is the first time we're hosting a vacation rental and are excited and honored to serve you.

What makes this property unique

Front and back lawn surrounded by trees
Rural privacy but very close to town
Set up for vacation or staycation
