Upstream is a fantastic place to stay in Ashville. The house was clean and on the main floor is a cook-ready kitchen and a den with a comfortable couch and a large television for streaming your shows. Upstairs, each bedroom offered a pillow-filled bed and bathrooms with step-in showers. Hot water was readily available. Out the front door and just across the street is a paved trail perfect for walking, running and biking and the French Broad River. Upstream is just several miles away from West Asheville, which offers a variety of shops and restaurants and Ashville’s bustling downtown.

The house is perfectly located across the river where there’s a boat launch, walking trails and fishing spots. The neighborhood is quiet but it’s also quick access to the best parts of Asheville - West Asheville and River Arts District. The house is new and clean with comfortable beds. Roku TV gave us access to all our favorite streaming services too. We’ll be back!

We were in town for just a quick visit so we didn't get to use the kitchen much. The house was awesome and located in a great place. The hot tub was great but we didn't get to use it much because of our short stay. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful place to stay while visiting Asheville.

We had a few night to visit Asheville and this home was great, close to downtown and across the street from the river park. Spacious, comfortable, and close to everything we were looking to do.
