IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW
• This property is riverfront on a whitewater river. All access and use of the river is at your own risk. You must be prepared to closely watch your children (and husbands/boyfriends)!
• This property used to have a hot tub. It was removed in early 2018. All references to its presence have been removed form the listing itself, but we cannot delete previous reviews which may have mentioned this. feature. It is no longer there.
• Like all major rivers, the French Broad river canyon also serves as a transportation artery. This includes the road that this home is located on and a rail line across the river. There are no crossings, so the trains do not blow their whistles or ring bells... you'll occasionally hear the romantic rumble of the trains over the sound of the river. This is a minor trade-off to being on the riverfront, but we believe you'll agree it's a worthy one.

    This home was absolutely beautiful! We rented it out for our micro wedding and it was a dream. Jason was very easy to communicate with and wonderful. Thank you for a great stay! Cannot recommend enough.

    Amazing house with great views, plenty of room for everyone plus places to play both inside and outside games. House has been newly renovated due to Hurricane Helene damage. The pass through window in the kitchen onto the upper deck was great for setting up an outside dinner. We loved the firepit and outdoor spaces.
    10.0 / 10.0
    The kitchen was fully equipped. The property was clean, spacious and exactly as the photos showed. We didn't realize how many steps there would be to get int and around the house. We managed but it was quite difficult getting our luggage into the house and up/down the stairs. We had an amazing time and the river scenery was gorgeous! It is pretty remote from restaurants, etc. we mostly cooked/grilled at home and relaxed on the patios. The bedding/pillows were luxurious! I would suggest the host put tub mats in the upstairs bedroom showers as it was a bit slippery. Also, there was no soap in the showers. It was mentioned that there would be "starter" bathroom supply, however I expected there would be at least a small soap bar or liquid dispenser in the tub/shoer area. The towels were really great quality. We had a very severe rain and the basement floor had water leakage. It did not disrupt our sleeping areas and Jason was quickly and graciously to the rescue with the maintenance guy showing up to manage the situation. The Biltmore Estate is a "must-see". The Centreville Luncheonette was a yummy highlight. We four sisters had a fabulous time there for a reunion!

    The house is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. The bedding so decadent. I may I purchase my own down comforter now!There were lots of separate spaces to socialize and TVs in every room so you can chill on your own when needed.Listening to the river on the patio was so soothing and it was a great outdoor space. Any questions we had were answered promptly, and everyone we spoke to was great.Bring your own seasonings and toiletries, but grocery stores are easily accessible along with food delivery.I loved this house and would stay here again :)
    10.0 / 10.0
    The house was lovely. It was really well equipped with everything you need. Each bedroom had a tv and the beds were so comfortable. Locationwise it wasn't too far from anything. The kitchen update is very nice. We appreciated the quick responses from the owners when we had questions. All of the outdoor seating was fantastic and we loved listening to the river and roasting marshmallows. We had some hiccups with the wifi going in and out throughout our stay. It wasn't too big of an issue, but we did have someone working remotely so he just went to a coworking space in town when needed.
