Very comfortable and homey

Our group was celebrating our daughter’s graduation weekend from UNCA. The three bedrooms were perfect and the bathrooms were modern and clean. The kitchen- dining area fit our needs and we were had plenty of room to relax together. Be aware that parking is very limited.

Great Time and Great Property

This was an absolute excellent experience. The property was exactly as displayed and communicated. Not only was it set with all the items needed (coffee maker, pots, pans, seasonings, nice place for pets) but it was well organized and quiet. I was prepping for my dad’s 80th birthday and this was the perfect location to distress and unwind once the festivities were concluded. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable place to stay. Also my boyfriend was thrilled to run the hills. Yes you read that correctly, run the hills. Thank you again.

Dance Recital Stay

House was great - well kept and very clean, spacious and the beds were really comfy. The driveway is narrow and has a steep drop off on one side and not a lot of places to turn around. All of the vines and growth on the right side of the drive needs to be cleaned up. We kept getting caught on a rose looking bush with thorns.It would also be helpful to have instructions how to divert the water to the shower in the bath upstairs. upstairsbe helpfu

Asheville Marathon

My family (wife and adult children) stayed here on our trip to Asheville for me to run the Asheville marathon. We really enjoyed the place, and it was very convenient to downtown and all the wonderful places along the river. Communication with the host was excellent, and the house was very clean and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again!

Such a cute place!

This is such a great place to stay! It's nicely tucked up in the trees and feels like a mountain retreat, but still close enough to downtown to get to experience the city of Asheville as well! We brought our 2 dogs and they were right at home and loved hanging out on the deck. Definitely a great find!

Great Mountain House Retreat

House is located just outside city in a quiet neighborhood close to everything. Roomy 3 bedroom and 2 baths were perfect for our 3-person friend’s getaway. Especially loved morning coffee on the deck. The house was immaculate and easy to get to. All the essentials and more were provided. Would highly recommended this property.

Pleasant

The property was clean, the beds comfy and some amenities were provided you wouldn't expect like spices/oil/coffee/filters/tea. There were a couple of games and books to read plus a lot of information about what to do in the area and maps. The driveway was okay, but one side drops off with no rails, so you have to be careful of that. The owner puts a warning about that in the info, though. It was a pleasant experience.

Great location, responsive host

This house is in a great location, 10 minutes from downtown near the river. As of our stay (end of Dec 2024), there is still damage in the neighborhood from the hurricane. There were trees down on the side of the road, and we had to drive under a power line held up by a wooden stick balanced on the pavement. The house itself had no obvious damage, and was a great place to stay. The living room couch had one side that was hard to sit on due to the springs wearing out, but was comfortable otherwise. Kitchen was well stocked with coffee, sugar, salt/pepper, spices. The three bedrooms upstairs share one bath, and the other bathroom is downstairs. The driveway is very steep and you really need to be careful to park on the right side. Once we got used to it, we had no issues. We contacted the host once during the stay, and they got back to us within the hour.

About the host

Hosted by Jillian B Foster

I have lived in Asheville area since 1999 and have grown to love calling these healing mountains my home. I love to guide others into enjoying all that this beautiful place has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This home is in a very peaceful setting and yet also so close to downtown Asheville. You can walk or take a short drive down the end of the street to the Woodfin Riverside park, where you can stroll on the greenway. The home is also very close to River Arts District and the new absolutely amazing greenway that takes you for miles along the french broad river.
