Ivy Riverfront private retreat - tubing, fishing right out the door!

We had a great stay for a spontaneous trip to the mountains to go sledding. The sledding hill is very close by. We also really liked Weaverville. It has a cute downtown area and all the amenities you need without having to be in a bigger city like Asheville. There are many amenities nearby even though the property is on a private road and in more of a remote location. Walking by the river was peaceful. The quiet nights were nice. We didn’t realize there would not be a TV but we actually were ok with this because we spent more time as a family playing games and being outside. The home is very nice, recently remodeled. Inside you would find everything you should need for your trip. I especially appreciated the cast-iron and stainless steel pots and pans. Typically rentals have scratched up pots and pans and cheap dishware, but that was not the case here. Everything was of nice quality. It seems every detail was thought of in this home, down to the rocking chairs on the back porch. I would suggest you bring cash for the pet cleaning if you bring a dog. We did not realize we needed to pay this separately. The property manager was quick with response times and communicative. We hope we can come back in spring to enjoy more time at the river.

Clean open living space by the river with all the necessities. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was very comfortable.

Sarah was very communicative. The Loft was just so comfortable and welcoming. Perfect!

The property itself is good. It’s clean. The beds are comfortable, the deck is nice (though the railing is loose in a few places). The kitchen had almost everything we need. The proximity to the river is great. The owner let us check in about 40 minutes early. This could have been a wonderful stay, but there was entirely too much communication with the property owner “reminding” us of rules “just in case” we planned to break them (or inventing new rules mid-stay). We are always excellent guests and treat other people’s property respectfully and follow house rules. We accessed the river from a few different locations on their property (apparently not allowed, only one spot is allowed although there was nothing indicating this), we grilled on the deck (only permitted in the yard, again nothing indicating this), another family cooked and ate dinner with us one evening before returning to their rental (were told we need to notify them if we have anyone over, again this was not indicated anywhere). While a little stifling, none of these “rules” were a bid deal, if we’d known about them. However, these “rules” weren’t stated anywhere. They need to update their rules so the expectations are clear before booking. We felt like we were constantly being watched and scrutinized during our stay. It made for a less than relaxing environment.
