About this property

Asheville Mt Home Top-NEW Carbon Water Filter-3 mi to DT-Dogs-Firepit-River View

Looking for a place with the calm and quiet of a mountain cabin, yet 3.5 miles from downtown? Our house rests in a quiet mountain neighborhood on 1.3 acres of forest with views of the French Broad River and plenty of space to play and explore! Take a walk out the door down to the old barrel road next to the Om Sanctuary, from where you might spot the noon train. Upon your return, cool off with a drink on the balcony as deer, turkey vultures, and the occasional bear meander through the yard.

NOTE: This is the top floor only: 2 beds/2 bath. This is for guests who do not need the whole house. While you have only the top floor, you will still have the whole property to yourself; no one will utilize the downstairs.

You can rent both levels by searching for property #2069438.

The front yard and back yard are connected and mostly fenced (75%) with only the back portion open to the the mountain and wildlife preserve. There is a separate fully fenced area 40 ft x 13 ft for dogs with a gate at each end. The front yard is outfitted with an additional gate.

Each room has a queen bed and twin trundle bed. The living room has a sectional sofa with chaise and pullout sofa, and a 55-inch Roku TV. There is an AC unit and ceiling fan in the living room and in each bedroom. We also provide a pack-and-play, high chair, and toys.

The backyard balcony gives great views year-round of the wide open space we call the backyard, the river, wildlife, and the infamous fireflies of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In colder weather, warm your toes by the custom-built flagstone patio and fire pit, complete with a stone bench and seating. Prop your s'mores ingredients, hot cocoa, and other fire pit necessities on the table.

Just minutes to Richmond Hill right down the road, which offers hike and bike trails, and disc golf. Three miles to River Arts District and downtown, 4 miles to the breweries, 5.5 miles to Biltmore, and 9 miles to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We live in a quiet residential neighborhood situated on the French Broad River. At the bottom of our road is the French Broad Outfitters and river access for a variety of activities.

Dogs are welcome for a one-time fee of $35 per dog. Puppies must be crated overnight and when you're not at home. No pets on furniture.

House was fine and fit our needs

Based on the description and pictures, we expected this was a "mountain retreat" with the calm and quiet of a mountain cabin high above the town. The neighborhood itself was quiet enough. Some may not be bothered by the view of the industrial area across the river instead of pristine mountains or that the freeway runs across right above that industrial area. Some in our party did not like the constant freeway drone. Otherwise the house itself was suitable for four adults. The heaters took a bit to get used to as there are no dial markings (except on one) to know how you are setting them. The kitchen was open and nicely stocked, everything worked. My sister commented the master had a fluffy pad on their bed making it very comfortable. The 2nd BR did not have that. The 2nd bedroom bed was comfy enough but did seem a bit small for queen. We did not watch tv so can't comment on that. BEWARE of the speedbumps coming into the neighborhood! Overall nice property and very convenient to RAD and town.

Best backyard ever, with a view.

We always book a property that allows us to travel with our 8-yr old Irish Setter. She's basically a person in our family. I love that this property had a HUGE backyard, all fenced in, with plenty of room to run. The views of the French Broad River are indeed splendid. The reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that there is a large industrial storage plant that covers the entire far bank of the river. We were there in Nov, when the leaves are off the trees, so it was highly visible and took away from what would have been a really idyllic view. Otherwise, great location on a quiet hill top. The other reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that the kitchens were too sparsely provisioned if you plan to cook full meals. There is both an upstairs and downstairs full kitchen, and we had to try to find enough cookware and implements for a basic 5-person dinner. It may be just a personal preference of our family, but when we VRBO, we like to cook meals. I don't mind buying a throw-away roasting pan for a turkey, but everything else should be there (decent implements, decent pans of various sizes, non stick large fry pan, large serving bowls for side dishes, ovenproof casserole dishes, etc). Bakeware would be a bonus; there was none so we bought cake pans. Also more kitchen linens would have been good - there was only one kitchen towel. The house has a full downstairs and the stairway is a bit steep, which was not an issue for my family, but if you have someone who is infirm, aged or who cannot navigate stairs be advised. Parking was fine - there was plenty of room for our two cars. The location was great for access to Asheville - an short ride down to the river, over a small bridge and you are close to the main highway or river access roads.

About the host

My husband and I are Floridians, and we needed a place to escape the heat! We visited Asheville and fell in love with the amount and variety of activities it has to offer! I am a teacher and my husband a general contractor, and we love everything outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We loved this property because of its quiet mountain home characteristics without being isolated, and its proximity to all things Asheville! We live in the quiet residential neighborhood of Richmond Hill situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on the French Broad River, and we have great, friendly neighbors. While there are wide, expansive views of the river, there is no immediate river access. Our view of the river and mountains on the other side is breathtaking at sunrise and sunset. It also captures the unique character of Asheville - a mix of mountain and industry - including the French Broad Chocolate Factory, a few breweries (Ginger's Revenge and Zilicoah), and an industrial supply company, to name a few. At the bottom of our road is the French Broad Outfitters and river access for a variety of activities. Richmond Hill Park is a few minutes drive and a bit longer walk from our house, which boasts trails and a disc golf course. The Omni Grove Park Inn is a 10-minute drive away, and the Biltmore just a bit more at about 12-15 minutes.

What makes this property unique

Almost all of the 1.3 acres is open for walking and exploring! The barrel road is a short but fun trail, especially for young hikers, with view of the French Broad River, its kayakers, and the occasional train that rumbles by! Summertime hosts a pleasantly shaded yard, and the famous fireflies of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
