Celebrating in Asheville

Had a lovely stay in this beautiful home while we were celebrating a couple of milestone birthdays. The house was immaculately clean, and had plenty of room (and bathrooms!) for our group of 9. It was a quick 10 min drive to town and was on a quite pretty street in a safe neighborhood. I would definitely stay there again if we’re back in Asheville with our big group again 😊

Fall family trip

Our family of retired 5 siblings and mom enjoyed our stay of 5 nights in this perfectly suited home with a bedroom for each couple. We found the location ideal, a short drive into downtown Asheville, quiet neighborhood, beautiful setting. Would have been 5 star review had it not been for the broken dishwasher requiring hand washing the chipped dishes and tdishwasher.

Perfect home for a large family

When I first viewed this listing I thought to myself, “that’s what it looked like when it was newly renovated but I’m sure not now”. I was completely wrong - this home has been impeccably maintained and was spotlessly clean. We had extended family from age 1 to 93 there for a week and it really was ideal. I can’t recommend this home enough!

Our son finally got married

Our son got married and we had out-of-state family stay. We all enjoyed the home which was very clean, super quiet and a large kitchen where we hung out. The host was very quick to respond to a minor issue. Had a great time very close to both Asheville and Weaverville, a really cute town. Hopefully some day we will return.

Spring Break 2023

My husband and I wanted to explore Asheville and brought our 2 adult children with their spouses & our 4 grandchildren. We loved the house. It was everything that was advertised & so much more. Loved the decor, bedding & spaciousness of the home. Appreciated the pack & play, high chair & baby gates. Our favorite tho was the large deck with grill & beautiful views. When we come to Asheville again we will absolutely choose to stay here.

It is a beautiful home and we had a wonderful stay. Weaverville is a lovely little town and Well Bred is a fabulous bakery/coffee shop. A few inconveniences: There weren't as many spices and such provided as I have found at other stays, but that was minor. It was disappointing not to have shampoo/soap/bodywash in the showers/tubs, so we left some small ones. We attempted to use the upstairs fireplace, but were unable to light it.

We had 4 couples for a reunion stay at Leisure Mountain Lodge. The house had plenty of room for everyone and is well maintained and spotless. The kitchen is equipped with everything that you need for cooking, including 2 types of coffee makers. Everything was great, except the weather, which prohibited us from enjoying the decks!

We had an amazing time in this beautiful house! It was a great place for 3 generations to connect while in town for a Candler wedding (that was rescheduled from last october). We built puzzles, played games? laughed, hung out and the teenaged cousins were having a BLAST hanging out in the basement playing ping pong and video games (we brought our nintendo switch and they hooked it up to the tv). You should have heard the laughter! It was fantastic memories esp because our 91-year-old mom was able to join us. The interior of the house was beyond clean and modern. Neighborhood was quiet and surrounded by nature up a windy road but right in a community where neighbors waved to us every time. Its stationed right near lots of little mom and pop businesses but super close to highway entrance taking you 15 mins to downtown Asheville or lots of larger shopping, retail, etc. House has three patios and one adorable enclosed porch. Kitchen had most of the basics although we didnt cook hardly at all but everything we needed was there. 4 cars easily fit in driveway. Jason was very quick to respond to our texts. Overall a perfect place to make wonderful memories.

In Asheville for a brief weekend family wedding. The Mountain Lodge was perfect for our group, size, layout, location, and with almost all amenities. Checkin suggested using app other than Waze to navigate to house. Actually, Waze was correct (vs Google) so navigate carefully! We had a large vehicle, which was a bit challenging backing down a one-way road to get back on correct route. Upon check-in, we realized water was murky. Didn't reach out to host immediately. We purchased several 2-gallon water jugs. Early next morning, the Woodfin Water dept came to the door to advise there had been a water break 2 days earlier and a boil notice had been issued at that time. Water dept turned off water for a few hours to work on issue which seemed to correct the appearance of water, but the boil water notice remained for the duration of our trip.Luckily, we were only cooking breakfast during our stay. Jason, the host, offered to move us to another property/area, but we had unpacked before we understood the scope of the issue. Jason was not aware of the notice before our arrival, although the toilet water was dark yellow. Generally, everything was comfortable for stay. Girls suggest a full-length mirror for getting ready. A small screen tear in one of the downstairs bedrooms let a bunch of bugs in when the window was open for fresh air and several large cobwebs were inside. All minor stuff other than the water issue. House is perfect for longer stays. We hope we can return someday!

We highly recommend this place! It was perfect! I was here for my son’s wedding. With all the bedrooms and bathrooms, it made things so easy with getting ready! It was clean and looked just like the pictures. It was also nice having a grocery store close by. If you’re looking for a place in Asheville, this is it!

About the host

Hosted by Jason Graves

Host profile image
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

After sharing three other properties as vacation rentals 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. It was nearly complete with 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. It is a beautiful mountain home!!

What makes this property unique

Key benefits of the Liesure Mountain Lodge are:
- Wooded mountain property this close to downtown!
- multiple master bedrooms with en-suite baths
- 5 bedrooms and 4 and a half baths
- Huge outdoor deck and outdoor firepit, gas fireplaces, and screened in porch
- end of road privacy
- easy all-paved access from the property to a major freeway
- high speed internet and cell coverage (rare for mountain properties)
