The Looking Glass cabins are nice. They just don’t have a lot of storage space. The bathroom has a small shelf that blocks the sink so it’s hard to brush your teeth. It’s not the best choice for bringing a dog that requires a crate because there is just not enough room. I wasn’t a big fan of crawling in and out of the bed over my husband but the bed is really comfortable. Overall it was a good trip I will just look at the other options they have to stay. I will definitely go back.

My review of Ashville River Cabins sales process is bait and switch. Selling what the customer thinks is a 425 sq ft cabin and give them a 190 sq ft cabin. Just not a surprise you want a11pm after a long trip. The cabins themselves are beautiful& clean. Check-in was easy and the directions were good. The cabin was only one room that was 7 ft wide and 23 ft long. The dining and sitting area are outside. (We stayed during a major heat wave & storms) The bathroom sink is so small that just to brush your teeth, you hit your head on the shelf above. When I texted the Manager/Owner about the problem, she apologized for the wrong picture/cabin type but refused to fix the issue, even when I offered to pay more for a vacant cabin that was listed on their website. Please note we have stayed in tiny homes and cabins previously, so we knew exactly what we needed and that is what was pictured but not delivered. At this point, my funds were nonrefundable, the cabin that was way too small and the owner is offering no other options. Plus she refused the option I found. My husband spent the four days trying to work off whatever type of flat surface we could find. The owner offered to bring a table in but never showed up with one. We drug the round bistro table from the front porch for workspace. So my review is the cabins themselves are great, however, I feel the sale of the cabins is a bait and switch process. If you choose to buy from here, just be careful.

Total cabin size. Note with the Exterior Bistro table being used for workspace, you cannot walk in the cabin. It cuts the cabin in half.

Family Trip to Asheville

Had an amazing time at Asheville River Cabins. They literally thought of everything, from fresh ground coffee, extra towels fro the hot tub and even grilling utensils and extra wood for the fire pit. My only recommendation would be to have the cabin numbers more visible. We arrived late at night and was difficult to find our way. Once we found the cabin, we thoroughly enjoyed that all of the lights to our cabin were on inside, it felt very welcoming.

We enjoyed our vintage airstream experience at Asheville River Cabins. The setting right on the French Broad River is magnificent! The only disappointment was that the vintage airstream smells of cigarettes, although I got accustomed to it once inside, with the help of an aromatherapy spray. The memory foam mattress was very comfortable, and the kitchen had nice dishes and cooking equipment. Enjoyed our French press coffee every morning.

our stay at Asheville River Cabins was good. The property was clean and efficient. The furnishings were not the most comfortable for us, but it was fine. We also felt like the hot tub needed to be more private. All in all, it was a good place to stay when visiting the Asheville area.
