About this property

The perfect place for you to enjoy all that Asheville has to offer - a beautiful riverfront setting and convenience to downtown Asheville, Weaverville and Marshall. This historic 1940s rock cottage is full of rustic charm for a relaxing and fun riverfront getaway. Now with Starlink internet!

You will never be at a loss for things to do. Shop and dine in dynamic downtown Asheville, tour nearby breweries, relax on the upstairs deck overlooking the river, visit the Biltmore Estate, tube or kayak the river with a local outfitter, visit the quaint bakeries and coffee shops in downtown Weaverville, hike to overlooks or waterfalls, play lawn games by the river, roast marshmallows in the fire-pit. I am happy to help with recommendations. The location of this house is perfect for those who want easy access to downtown but also want to experience the beautiful outdoors. You are an easy 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville or Biltmore (mostly freeway), 5 minutes to I-26, 10 minutes to downtown Weaverville, and 15 minutes to Marshall. Publix, Walmart, an ABC Store, CVS, and a busy (small town) business district are within a 5 minute drive.

On the main level, the living room features a flat screen TV, a leather couch, down-stuffed arm chairs, and a cozy gas fireplace. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances and is well furnished with dishware, utensils, cooking tools and small appliances. Also located on the main floor is the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and balcony overlooking the river, a bedroom with two twin beds and a half bath in the hallway. Upstairs is a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a two queen bedrooms.

But you may never want to be inside! Outdoors you have plenty of space to enjoy the river frontage - a yard with a fire pit, outdoor seating, river access, a picnic table, a deck off of the kitchen, a balcony off of the master bedroom, and a gas grill.

Fabulous

Sarah was easy to contact and the property was in a great location on the river. Great and comfy beds. Uber can pick you up and drop you off. We had plenty of space in the rooms.

Nice place to get away…

We had a nice time in the country by the River relaxing and enjoying ourselves but it was close enough to get to Asheville to explore. The driveway is quite steep and very difficult to see to get out as has been noted before. If you are cautious it isn’t a huge deal.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Olson, French Broad Properties, LLC

Sarah Olson is the owner and operator of French Broad Properties, LLC. I am an Asheville native and grew up in the tourism industry, helping operate my family's mountain resort in Lake Lure where families returned year after year to enjoy the beauty and activity of the area. I live close by the River House and love spending time making it a special place for friends and families to gather. In addition to French Broad Properties, I have a mediation and law practice in downtown Asheville. I am excited to make your stay at the River House a memorable tradition!

Why they chose this property

This is a special house, full of history, located on the third oldest river in the world, in a beautiful, fun, and peaceful setting, and yet it is still conveniently located to all Asheville has to offer. There is nothing like the sun on the river in the evening or morning coffee on the deck watching the birds.
