River Mist Retreat 5 minutes to Downtown Asheville

Welcome to River Mist Retreat! This home is close to everything Asheville offers. Whether coming for a vacation getaway or attending an event, River Mist Retreat has everything you need, especially an amazing location! As you make your way to this home, you will be driving along the French Broad River, a lovely scenic area of Asheville. River Mist feels like a private mountain escape despite the fact that it is walking distance to the river park and only 5 miles to downtown, the River Arts District, and all that the city has to offer.

This is a three story home. The home has a beautiful ambiance and is ideal for up to four couples (eight people). The main floor has two bedrooms with queen-sized beds and a full bath, with dining and living space for gatherings. The downstairs has a king bedroom, an en suite bathroom along with a great living space for entertaining and having fun.

The upstairs bedroom has a king-sized bed, an en suite full bath, and a fantastic atmosphere. In this room, there is an adjacent area with a desk for those that need to get work done and a "pull-out" queen sofa-bed to sleep two additional people if needed. This space allows for the home to accommodate up to 10 people total.

The outdoor space is lovely too, surrounded by mature trees on a serene and quiet cul-de-sac. There is a fire pit in the large yard for our guests to gather around playing music, making smores, or just breathing the fresh air. It is genuinely a beautiful yard for you to enjoy! There are also security cameras outside.

Please note additional fees apply for a pet and any additional guests over 8 total.

Pet policy: One small dog (20lbs or less) is welcome upon pre-approval, with a $150.00 pet fee. Exceptions might be made for pets with pre-approval of breed, size and age.

Additional guests over eight people total is $50 per person. 10 total people allowed.

Parking for 4 cars.

The wifi is the fastest available at 1Gbps.

We're looking forward to hosting you!

1st trip to Asheville
We loved our stay at River Mist, house was clean and comfortable. Coming from Tucson, AZ we enjoyed all the green around us and loved the space in the back yard, even found the hidden statue. :-) Location was good, close to downtown and the Biltmore. Enjoyed the snacks!

We loved our stay! Plenty of space inside and out with everything we needed. Host is incredibly communicative. Very close to hiking and downtown Asheville (just be prepared to wait awhile for rideshare). Definitely recommend for large groups.

Wonderful vacation home in Asheville!
We stayed at River Mist with our four adult children and our dog, and this place was wonderful! There was so much room for everyone. We could spend time together in the gathering room on the main floor, at the dining room table, outside on the two decks, or at the fire pit. There was also space for everyone to retire to their own rooms at the end of the day. The home was beautifully furnished and well-stocked with all essentials, including extras like cooking spices, all kitchen supplies, games, a hammock, and a basketball. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. The location was a short drive to downtown Asheville. We had a great family vacation here. We highly recommend River Mist! Thank you!

Comfortable & clean accommodations
Our multi-generational family (6 adults/2 children) had a wonderful stay. We had plenty of room and the kitchen had enough dishes for us to cook and enjoy a few meals in. Each room has a TV (even though we didn't use them often) and there are several game options in the basement. Wifi worked great. Only about a 10 minute drive to downtown. The owner was very good at responding to questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Holiday Retreat
This property was a perfect fit for our family of 7. Plenty of space with separation. The location is close to downtown Asheville and within 30 minutes of the airport. The host was gracious, accommodating, and quick to respond to all needs. This home is nestled into a quiet neighborhood with pleasant views of trees, walking path, and woods. Waking up in the mornings to birds singing and squirrels racing up and down the trees just off of the deck was a plus. It is close to the river and great for our early morning runner. If you are looking for a quiet beautiful retreat after a day of exploring beautiful Asheville....this is the place!
