River Mist Retreat 5 minutes to Downtown Asheville

WE HAVE WATER, POWER AND WIFI.

Welcome to River Mist Retreat! This home is close to everything Asheville offers. Whether coming for a vacation getaway or attending an event, River Mist Retreat has everything you need, especially an amazing location! As you make your way to this home, you will be driving along the French Broad River, a lovely scenic area of Asheville. River Mist feels like a private mountain escape despite the fact that it is walking distance to the river park and only 5 miles to downtown, the River Arts District, and all that the city has to offer.

This is a three story home. The home has a beautiful ambiance and is ideal for up to four couples (eight people). The main floor has two bedrooms with queen-sized beds and a full bath, with dining and living space for gatherings. The downstairs has a king bedroom, an en suite bathroom along with a great living space for entertaining and having fun.

The upstairs bedroom has a king-sized bed, an en suite full bath, and a fantastic atmosphere. In this room, there is an adjacent area with a desk for those that need to get work done and a "pull-out" queen sofa-bed to sleep two additional people if needed. This space allows for the home to accommodate up to 8 people total.

The outdoor space is lovely too, surrounded by mature trees on a serene and quiet cul-de-sac. There is a fire pit in the large yard for our guests to gather around playing music, making smores, or just breathing the fresh air. It is genuinely a beautiful yard for you to enjoy! There are also security cameras outside.

Please note additional fees apply for a pet and any additional guests over 8 total.

Pet policy: One small dog (20lbs or less) is welcome upon pre-approval, with a $150.00 pet fee. Exceptions might be made for pets with pre-approval of breed, size and age.

Additional guests over eight people total is $50 per person. 10 total people allowed.

Parking for 4 cars.

The wifi is the fastest available at 1Gbps.

We're looking forward to hosting you!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful house with something for everyone. Bad knees? There are 2 bedrooms in the main floor. Need some space? The suite downstairs is fully independent and the suite upstairs is spacious and has a great work space. Host was very responsive and very kind when we managed to lock ourselves out. I'd stay here any day! And Asheville itself was amazing. Such wonderful memories!

I found Scott to be responsive except for one request text,which he didnt see. The AC worked well,and house was huge. The dog enjoyed the short trails that surrounded the lot. I did not feel safe walking along the narrow road to the coffee shop, especially if a stroller is involved. Driving safer imo. Alot to keep you occupied at house, but we brought our own toddler so didn't get to use it to full extent. I would rent there again, for sure.

We had a terrific stay at this property! The house was immaculately clean with a large, well stocked kitchen and a great master suite. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was large and well lit. We enjoyed time on the porch and also the large living space downstairs which was super comfy. The neighborhood is very quiet and neighbors are friendly. Downtown Asheville is easily and quickly accessed from this home. Scott was a very accommodating host, as well! We would highly recommend this property!

Ideal House in Great Location

We stayed here for our son’s wedding. Four comfortable bedrooms worked well as we had other family and friends staying with us. Plenty of bathrooms too. The house includes a nice grill and a wonderful porch - we hosted other family and friends who were in early - grilled hamburgers made for a fun family event. Then we went bowling - the house is close to everything. Also has a nice washer dryer which came in handy. Bonus points - game room downstairs with lots of games and activities. Perfect home for mountain vacation!

Wonderful vacation home in Asheville!

We stayed at River Mist with our four adult children and our dog, and this place was wonderful! There was so much room for everyone. We could spend time together in the gathering room on the main floor, at the dining room table, outside on the two decks, or at the fire pit. There was also space for everyone to retire to their own rooms at the end of the day. The home was beautifully furnished and well-stocked with all essentials, including extras like cooking spices, all kitchen supplies, games, a hammock, and a basketball. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. The location was a short drive to downtown Asheville. We had a great family vacation here. We highly recommend River Mist! Thank you!
