Property was amazing! Perfect location, surrounded by so much to do in the wonderful city of Asheville. Could not have asked for an easier place to stay between the host and the location!
Great house and host. House is clean, up to date, and comfortably sleeps 12 adult men. Accessible and accommodating host. I highly recommend this place.
Really enjoyed our stay, house had more than enough space for the entire family without feeling like we were on top of each other. Fantastic view and amenities with a great location close to parks, dining, and the Biltmore. Would definitely stay here again given the opportunity.
Before even getting to the property, the owner, Tom, reached out to me personally to introduce himself and give us all of the information we would need. He was extremely accommodating, allowing us to check in early and the property was beautiful. It is in a great location and had plenty of space for 13 of us! We had the best time and would highly recommend!
We had an excellent stay here for a friend's bachelor celebration. 12 men in their mid-30s slept comfortably, and the house was an excellent fit for our needs. Great view, close to downtown/River Arts so the Ubers and Lyfts are cheap, and an incredibly accommodating host.
Can't recommend this place enough for a stay in Asheville that needs to fit a large group. It's hard to find something that fits this many people this close to town.
We had a wonderful stay at this house for a low-key bachelorette party in Asheville! The house was beautiful, fit our group perfectly and the views are amazing. Very convenient location to get downtown as well. Would definitely stay here again!
We rented this property for my dads 70th birthday getaway. The house was perfect for accommodating our family. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.
Great location, quality amenities and plenty of space! Such a great place for a bachelor/bachelorette party or a single/ multi-family trip. The manual was extremely helpful with all of the details. Would recommend this listing to anyone!
Visited Asheville for kids Winter Break. Loved everything about our stay. Very convenient to Biltmore and downtown areas. Plenty of room and very clean. Would definitely return and recommend to others.
We were in Asheville for a wedding. This house was perfect for our family and friends! Beautiful views, clean and comfortable house. We will be back! Thank you, Tom!
We had a great time together as a family in this home. The home is new, beautiful, and plenty of places to get away from the group. We loved that each large bedroom had a bathroom attached. We would rent again. The owner was also very gracious with checkout time as our flight out was later.
The property was perfect for our annual family getaway. The view of the river and the Biltmore property is absolutely stunning! This property is so close to Biltmore and to Downtown Asheville. There was so much space and the game room lots of fun! The host, Tom. was fabulous. He responded very quickly and was very accommodating. I recommend this rental very highly! I hope it is available for our trip next year!

We had a wonderful stay at Magic Mountain. The fall color was amazing. What a fantastic view of the trees and mountains. House is across from park. Great for a morning walk. Conveniently located to downtown or highways for hiking. House had everything we needed to had a special weekend with college girlfriends!
This house is in an amazing location! It’s right by the river and walking trail, but a quick drive into downtown Asheville or the River Arts district. We had 12 adults in our group stay comfortably for 3 nights. The master room on the top floor is wonderful, and the balcony upstairs was a great place to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning. The check in and out process was a breeze, and the host was easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this stay for a large group or family!
Our family of 10 planned a Christmas in “the mountains” this year and we were not disappointed. The location was close to everything we wanted to do: tour the Biltmore House, going to the movies on Christmas Day, outlet mall shopping, touring the African American Heritage Trail, and just spending time together having a Ball. The house was well equipped with EVERYTHING we needed to be comfortable. I would love to return in the summer when we could take advantage of other activities.
We were in Asheville for a reunion of old friends. The property was everything advertised and more. Completely stocked and felt like a home away from home. Convenient to all the attractions. The view is amazing.
The owner was helpful and very accommodating to our needs.
My only caveat is the parking is a little tricky for multiple cars. We had three vehicles and managed fine but it was a little daunting for us all over the age of 60.
I otherwise I highly recommend this property!
This was the perfect place for my sister’s bachelorette weekend! It provided the perfect balance of everything that Asheville has to offer - amazing proximity to both nature and downtown, which is exactly what we were looking for! Ubers were pretty easy to get (5-10 minute wait with a 5-15 minute ride to downtown or West Asheville). With the river path being right across the street, we enjoyed a beautiful, scenic walk to the River Arts District and utilized the many activities available along the river (kayaking, rafting, tubing, etc.). We had plenty of space for everyone to hangout, play games, and eat meals together in a super chill environment! Would certainly recommend to anyone - whether a celebration or vacation with family or friends!
All the big spots in terms of eateries and breweries are short 10min Ubers. Like 9-13$ per. Hiking was like a 30min to hour drive. Frisbee golf close by. View from the front porch of the river and mountains was great. House was super fun, ping pong and the balcony fire pit were favorites. Great location for a big group!

Why they chose this property
I don't think you can find another property within Asheville's city limits with our views, our amenities and space at our price and with our proximity to downtown. The only properties in the city that are comparable are located on our street and much more expensive.
