This home is absolutely beautiful! We had plenty of room for 8 pp. the home is very clean and cozy. The beds were comfy and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Close to all the things and the kids loved the basketball hoop and all the fun in the basement. The owner was so great with communicating and making sure we had everything we needed! I highly recommend this home!
The house is inviting and comfortable. The amenities were excellent. The house, kitchen and bathrooms are well stocked, and the host is warm and approachable. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving retreat.
The hosts were great. Very helpful and informative regarding dining and entertainment options in the area. The house was very clean and tidy, and included everything we needed for our stay. The fire pit was great - definitely our favorite amenity. The game room was also a big hit.
Jenny’s place was perfect for our adult family stay. The house was very clean and modern with wonderful amenities like the beautiful backyard and deck. Covered parking for easy access. Wonderful finished basement with a large sectional and TV. Lovely ranch style home in an established quiet neighborhood. We highly recommend this home for its easy access to Asheville sites.
Incredible stay, house was spacious, perfect for families, great outdoor space, convenient to downtown, and local attractions. 5 stars across the board.

Thank you Jonathan! We loved hosting you and your family. We look forward to having you stay with us again!
This is a great house in a great location! The open floorplan is wonderful, it's very well appointed and has everything you need to feel welcome and comfortable! The added basement space is so nice, but the outside amazing firepit is the best! We would definitely stay again if visiting the area!
Family of 8 from age 7 to 74. Rooms for entire family, loved the fire pit and the ease to get from and to property. Communication with property manager was terrific. All questions answered swiftly. Only recommendation, not a complaint, would be to add a few extra hooks on the wall in the master bath. PS. The stars at night were fantastic!!! Would highly recommend this property.
Exactly what you would expect from a Home-share rental. Well equipped with everything we needed and more. Sheets and towels super clean. Mattresses were all comfortable. Everything in working order. Hosts were very attentive. example: I asked about the availability of a particular appliance. It was not a necessary appliance and we were just curious if they had one. Host overnighted it via Amazon. Impressive.

About the host
Hosted by Ryan Rinaldi
My family and I are truly thrilled to host you! Jenny and I love traveling, getting outside for adventures with our boys, and spending quality time with friends and family. We split our time between Austin and our cozy Asheville getaway, and we’re excited to share that space with you.
I coach kids’ sports, volunteer in our community, and tinker with woodworking projects whenever I can. Between managing rentals, event production, and handyman work around Austin, hosting has become something we genuinely enjoy—it lets us create a comfortable, joyful space for families like ours.
We want your stay to be fantastic, so if there’s anything you need, just let us know. We’re here to help you make amazing memories in Asheville!
Why they chose this property
Our home is a special place where we meet and make memories. We love sharing our space with folks who are looking for a lovely place to enjoy a lovely town and region. Our wish for you during your stay is that you feel the warmth and love that our families have for each other.
What makes this property unique
We love hanging out around the fire pit with a few cold drinks and good friends. Our kitchen is a great place to grow friendships though food. Our kids love the basketball court, backyard and the games in the media room. We all play ping pong, poorly, but have a great time. Being so close to downtown is great, we love the food and bar scene. The River Arts District is coming back strong and is still a great place to visit. Hiking trails and French Broad River access is close which gives us a great chance to enjoy the beauty of Western North Carolina.
