Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jason Graves
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
In short, the RIVER!!!! After sharing another property as a vacation rental 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. After undergoing an extensive renovation completed in 2015, it had 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.
What makes this property unique
Key benefits of River House are:
- Riverfront property this close to downtown!
- multiple master bedrooms with en-suite baths
- 6 bedrooms and 5 and a half baths
- over 2000 square feet of decks/outdoor living space
- walls of windows to view the river
- easy all-paved access to a major freeway
- high speed internet and cell coverage (rare for mountain properties)
