Perfect Home Away from Home

Would recommend this place for anyone looking to explore Asheville and the surrounding area. The house is very nice and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. While property is not quite walking distance to downtown, unless you’re looking for a good workout, it was easy to get an Uber/Lyft.Georgia was an incredible host. She was fast to respond to messages, gave clear check in/out instructions, even left out dog blankets so our golden retriever was comfortable too.I would highly recommend this property.

Workshop training

Great home, Excellent communication with Georgia. The home was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The only issue I had was the street. It is a two way street, and parked cars lined one side. So there was great chance for an accident due to not being able to see up and over the hill. Also the driveway has a very narrow opening, making it difficult to park two cars. Aside from that it’s great! The home itself is fabulous.

Fantastic Experience!

Georgia was very welcoming the whole process. When we arrived, the property was easy to access, clean, and again, welcoming! She even left a note with homemade cookies on the counter, which was VERY sweet of her to do! She was readily available if we had any questions. The kitchen was stocked with essentials (coffee, tea, pots, pans, etc.) and the bedrooms were very nice and the beds comfortable.It's extremely close to downtown and other places within Asheville. I highly recommend staying here if you plan on coming to Asheville!

Very nice stay!

I stayed 10 days in this cottage while I toured and became familiar with Asheville. The property was very handy to all the places I visited. It was clean and very well appointed. The cookies waiting for me upon check-in were a nice touch! The host was responsive and very accommodating. Thank you for a nice place to stay!

Quite neighborhood and close to everything.

Due to the horrible devastation in Asheville we considered canceling our trip. I’m so glad we didn’t. The host was very helpful and the house was so cute and had everything we needed. It was so clean , comfortable and on a quiet street. It is convenient to downtown and the Biltmore. The River arts district needs the support of visitors. Thanks Georgia for a lovely getaway.

This property is SO good! Has everything you need inside and out. Interior decorated in true RAD styling, great outdoor deck space, close to everything. Very clean! Host is 10/10. Great space for a small family, or 2 couples. We will definitely rent again!

Wonderful Stay in Asheville

Our stay was very nice and relaxing. The property is walking distance to a lot of activities and very central to the Arts District. Georgina was fantastic providing reading about the area before the trip as well as sending emails when it was rainy with other activities. I loved the fenced in porch to sit in the back yard. The dogs loved staying there as well as there are a lot of walking paths close by.

Enjoyable

We enjoyed our stay. The house was tastefully remodeled and nicely laid out. The house was stocked with all needed supplies. The large elevated backyard deck was pleasant with sufficient furniture and tables, a gas grill and a view of the tree shaded yard. Off street parking was available. We would stay here again on our next Asheville trip.

Nice stay for people and pets

We really enjoyed staying at this home. It is well-stocked with supplies and housewares, and has newer appliances. The location is very convenient to downtown! The owner lives in a home just behind this property. The house has been updated and everything felt fresh and clean. We were very happy to find such a nice place that allowed us to bring our dogs.

Three nites in Asheville

The River Arts home was adorable and very well appointed. Georgia was responsive and emblematic of Southern hospitality. This location is very convenient to all Asheville has to offer. We would highly recommend the Curate (get a reservation) and Bradbury Bookstore and Champagne Bar. The Biltmore is spectacular, also easy, nearby hiking and be sure to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway enroute back to Asheville. Great long weekend destination! Thanks Georgia for a wonderful place to use as our home base while in Asheville.

Christmas at The River Arts Retreat

The River Arts Retreat is the perfect get-away-to-Asheville home! This home is immaculate and the photos do not begin to reflect the calm, peaceful, vibe. The furnishings are modern, the beds and bedding are super comfortable and the owner has thought of everything to make your stay delightful. She is easy to contact to answer questions and offer suggestions. The back yard and beautifully appointed deck area is an added bonus! This house is on a quiet street, yet is close to everything we wanted to see and do in the Asheville area. We can't wait to return!

30 Ora street, Asheville,NC

House was likely recently renovated. Very cute, nice quiet back deck. Hot tub which we didn’t try. Great location with very short distances to most all attractions. Off street parking was a plus (would be better if the street curb could be modified for both parking spaces, a car might bottom out on one side). Comfortable furnishings and bed. Plenty of towels and good water pressure. Washer and dryer were a surprise but we did’t use them. Overall great property that we would use again.

South French Broad House

The house is well maintained and the host did a great job of stocking the house with all the little things to make the stay easy down to warm cookies waiting for us on arrival. Everything about the inside of house met the descriptions and our expectations. The house sits in South French Board and the condition of the neighborhood is still improving. Though it is only a half a mile to downtown we did not feel comfortable walking to it. The outside area such as the deck and backyard are well set up but the conditions of the surrounding area made it less desirable to use. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Beautiful home in a perfect location!!

The River Arts Retreat is an exceptional rental property; even nicer than the pics! The extremely clean, well appointed home is in a nice residential neighborhood in the RAD district so we were able to walk a lot. The artist's studios & galleries were close by (it was quite enjoyable to meet & watch them at work:) & downtown is a little over a mile from the house. The lovely home was very comfortable, has a large deck overlooking a nice back yard & the city in the distance, contains more kitchen gadgets than any rental I've stayed at ( potato masher, veggie peeler, SHARP knives, wine opener, & more!), & is comfortably furnished with beautiful artwork! We slept quite well due to the comfy beds & lack of street noise. Also the amount of storage in the bedrooms is fantastic & the owner also thoughtfully included hooks on doors for more clothes; great for us overpackers! She also provides a lot of the basics you'll need like paper towels, toilet paper, lots of spices, dish & laundry detergent & she even left us delicious home made cookies with a welcome note! She answered our questions promptly & left many maps, pamphlets & other info about the area! It was one of the best rental experiences & I plan to stay here again! Don't hesitate to book this hidden gem!!
