Photos do not do it justice

The property is much better than in the photos. The appointments are very nice, right down to the framed photo in the bathroom. The most striking thing is how warm and comfortable it feels once you are inside. Convenient location for everything there is to see and do in Ashville. Jason, the owner is very good at communicating with you and tries to accommodate all your requests. The additional space serving as an office with a wonderful day bed was a pleasant surprise. All the furnishings are new, and more importantly, very comfortable. You cannot go wrong with this as your selection.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Frahm

I am small business person who teaches meditation and life coaching. As well, I've had rental properties for two decades and am now inspired to host a vacation rental. I love traveling the world and primarily stay in vacation homes to support the local economy and have the convenience of vacationing in a home.

Why they chose this property

Imagine feeling relaxed and at peace as you awake to quiet and stillness with the gentle sounds of the birds chirping and the deer grazing. You take a stroll into the Olivette trails that ride along the French Broad.

The house is set up for you to enjoy a quiet or adventurous vacation with all the amenities you would have in your home.

This is a stunning property set in nature (with an expansive lawn and abundance of privacy with a forest of mature trees) with the unique benefit of being close to town. Also, this is the first time we're hosting a vacation rental and are excited and honored to serve you.

What makes this property unique

Front and back lawn surrounded by trees
Rural privacy but very close to town
Set up for vacation or staycation
Front porch and back deck
