Fall family trip
Our family of retired 5 siblings and mom enjoyed our stay of 5 nights in this perfectly suited home with a bedroom for each couple. We found the location ideal, a short drive into downtown Asheville, quiet neighborhood, beautiful setting. Would have been 5 star review had it not been for the broken dishwasher requiring hand washing the chipped dishes and tdishwasher.

Very nice stay.
Lovely, clean, well kept property in a quiet neighborhood. We were a group of 8 friends from around the US that got together for a reunion. All were impressed with the home. We would gladly stay there again if the opportunity presented itself.

Perfect Family Reunion Stay
The property was perfect for four couples and it could have accommodated more. We loved the layout as we could all be together while grilling or cooking indoors. The nice dining table was roomy and comfortable to share meals and to play games.

Leisurely enjoying Asheville
We had a great visit at the Leisure Mountain Lodge. The house is beautiful, looks like the pictures in the listing, and is very comfortable. We had 2 couples and 3 other singles and there was plenty of room, nice bedrooms and plenty of gathering space. The kitchen was large and fairly well appointed. We spent a lot of time in the evenings playing cards or games and the dining table was perfect and others could be in the living room enjoying the fire and a movie. I would definitely stay here again!

Our son finally got married
Our son got married and we had out-of-state family stay. We all enjoyed the home which was very clean, super quiet and a large kitchen where we hung out. The host was very quick to respond to a minor issue. Had a great time very close to both Asheville and Weaverville, a really cute town. Hopefully some day we will return.

Great Stay!
We had a great time at the property. Beautiful home, great area, and very easy check-in process. We did wish the kitchen were stocked a bit more with cooking utensils and supplies. There were utensils, just not always exactly what we needed. Would definitely recommend to a friend it was a great trip.

Perfect home for a large family
When I first viewed this listing I thought to myself, “that’s what it looked like when it was newly renovated but I’m sure not now”. I was completely wrong - this home has been impeccably maintained and was spotlessly clean. We had extended family from age 1 to 93 there for a week and it really was ideal. I can’t recommend this home enough!

The house was clean, well-appointed, and in a tranquil setting. It wasn't far to our competition venue, as well as to most restaurants and sightseeing venues. We had no issues to report and the owners had communicated very well with us. We would recommend this rental to anyone, EXCEPT people with mobility issues, as there are multiple levels and stairs.

Visiting Asheville with friends
This property and location is incredible. The listing is very accurate. The home has a wonderful layout for multiple couples and families. The kitchen and amenities are modern. Plenty of outdoor space and the cutest and coziest screened in porch. The property manager/owner was immediately available for a question I had. We had a great stay and I highly recommend this property.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Graves

Host profile image
We are two families that are long-time friends and co-workers. Between us we have kids ranging in age from toddlers to teenagers, and we love to travel to the Asheville area. We have rented a number of the available properties, but wanted to find the ideal spot... so we decided to create it ourselves. If we weren't busy working (as environmental engineers, a Realtor/former NASA flight operations engineer, and a microcontroller product engineer, turned author) we'd be fighting over which family would get to move in full-time!

Why they chose this property

After sharing three other properties as vacation rentals last year, and seeing that we weren't the only ones seeking out the perfect property, we thought we should try to find another ideal vacation home and vacation rental. When we found this home, we immediately saw the potential. It was nearly complete with the attributes we were looking for: multiple master bedrooms, great views, completely modernized amenities, and ideal convenience to all that the Asheville area has to offer. It is a beautiful mountain home!!

What makes this property unique

Key benefits of the Liesure Mountain Lodge are:
- Wooded mountain property this close to downtown!
- multiple master bedrooms with en-suite baths
- 5 bedrooms and 4 and a half baths
- Huge outdoor deck and outdoor firepit, gas fireplaces, and screened in porch
- end of road privacy
- easy all-paved access from the property to a major freeway
- high speed internet and cell coverage (rare for mountain properties)
