IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
• This property is riverfront on a whitewater river. All access and use of the river is at your own risk. You must be prepared to closely watch your children (and husbands/boyfriends)!
• This property used to have a hot tub. It was removed in early 2018. All references to its presence have been removed form the listing itself, but we cannot delete previous reviews which may have mentioned this feature. It is no longer there.
• Like all major rivers, the French Broad river canyon also serves as a transportation artery. This includes the road that this home is located on and a rail line across the river. There are no crossings, so the trains do not blow their whistles or ring bells... you'll occasionally hear the romantic rumble of the trains over the sound of the river. This is a minor trade-off to being on the riverfront, but we believe you'll agree it's a worthy one.

Great vacation! Plenty of bedrooms and baths. Kitchen is smaller than you would wish but great pantry for you to store your supplies. Has a Kurig and drip coffee pot and slow cooker. But you will need to bring your own colander if you are making spaghetti 😊 We enjoyed the tables and umbrellas on the breezeway for meals. A Muscovy Duck is in residence, our granddaughter named Chuck the Duck. We cooked hotdogs and roasted marshmallows in the fire pit one evening. A wonderful stay with children and grandchildren!

Jason was on top of everything. Great communication. There were a few things broken before we got there but he planned on fixing them. The house was perfect for our group of 13. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean. We ate all of our meals on the beautiful deck overlooking the river- that was the best! Bring toilet paper and bars of soap. Amenities were minimal. There was a duck we named Elvis who showed up every day and knocked on the front door. ☺️ We will all miss Elvis! So much to do in this area- we highly recommend the trip!

I travel with my husband and four other couples every other year. This past trip was the one we were lucky enough to plan. So thankful we found this incredible home on the river! We each had plenty of room + our own bathrooms. We enjoyed drinking coffee down by the river in the morning, and then adult beverages by the fire at night. The view never got old! And we loved our new friend Florence AKA "Flo", the muscovy duck who was pretty much a pet on the property. She was a highlight! Please don't pass this place up - it was super clean, the hosts are quick to respond and the view simply can't be beat!! We will be back!

We reserved the home for a Mothers Day Girls Trip. The house was as it was described . Beautiful property! Loved seeing the ducks along the river. The hosts were very responsive to my questions and provided a detailed house book, that included things to and restaurants. One thing that house needs is a full length mirror. The house wasn't as clean as I had hoped. Over all we had a great time on the property and loved seeing Asheville.

We had a great time on our recent stay in Asheville. The house was spacious. As a large group we could all eat together inside and outside. And we could also easily find our own spaces as well. This was good since it rained a few days on the trip.
