This has to be one of the best places to stay in Asheville (dare I say all of VRBO!) It's an amazing property that gives you everything it says. We had a group of 8 and everyone was blown away from the location to the amenities. Every time we walked into the place someone said "I can't believe how great this place is." Thank you for an incredible place to stay.
This house is amazing! We had our wedding reception here and Jason was really kind to help us being prepared for the ice storm. We will definitely be back!!
It was an amazing venue we had guest come visit. That was plenty of outdoor seating area indoor seating area and the sleeping arrangements were great with a lot of privacy on different levels but absolutely recommend recommended to anyone looking for a lovely property on the French broad River.
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.
Jason was very polite and friendly. We even had a question on Christmas day and Jason respondsd promptly and our issue was resolved. The beds were a fan favorite and rated a 10 for comfort. Everyone also enjoyed morning coffee and tea in the main room every day with the river as the very peaceful backdrop.
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.
Such a beautiful spot and hidden gem right by the river! We had our small wedding here and it was perfect. Plenty of space outside and inside for activities and gathering. Highly recommend staying here!
We were in Asheville for our daughter’s wedding with family from Florida to Massachusetts and this house was perfect for us. Great location and beautiful views. We will be back for another vacation here.
The location to downtown Asheville could not be beat, plus looking out on the river was amazing. The rooms were all clean and as indicated on the site. Bathrooms were fantastic. Perfect place to stay.
We were a group of 16 friends; 8 adults and 8 kids and this house was a perfect size for us! It’s a very beautiful area just outside of Asheville. Great location to groceries and shopping within a short 15 min drive. Jason was very attentive to anything we needed, too! Can’t wait to get back!
This property was gprgeous and the perfect setting for our sibling reunion! The views were gorgeous and the layout of the house allowed everyone to enjoy all the comforts of home. If you're looking for a place for a family gathering this is perfect!
This unique house was perfect for our family of 11 adults and teenagers. The outside patio got lots of use. It was bigger than we expected with plenty of room, tall tables with umbrellas, and a large soft couch seating area. We enjoyed the river and the large yard. Jason was very responsive. The house is very convenient to downtown, shopping, and restaurants.
We had a great time on our recent stay in Asheville. The house was spacious. As a large group we could all eat together inside and outside. And we could also easily find our own spaces as well. This was good since it rained a few days on the trip.

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)
