River Mist Retreat 5 minutes to Downtown Asheville

WE HAVE WATER, POWER AND WIFI.

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 8 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!

Perfect stay for friends reunion weekend
Great place to stay for a friends reunion weekend. We mostly were out and about (about 15 min to downtown and easy to get Uber/Lyfts), but really enjoyed eating and hanging out on the deck when we were at the house.

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!

Fantastic Place + Location for an AVL Adventure
This place is great! It’s clean with all of the amenities and plenty of space for the whole family. The owners are very attentive and easy to coordinate with. Location is perfect, just 5 minutes north of downtown Asheville and a quick drive from the surrounding towns like Weaverville. We will definitely be staying here again — what a great experience!

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.

60th birthday vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property and all Asheville and beyond offered by way of tourism. Our only concern was spiders and small critters who made themselves most welcome as well. Mattresses just only tolerable as well as the pillows. Quiet and close to a variety of attractions and activities. Space feels like you are visiting a good friend’s home.

The house was great! Nice and clean. It even had some unexpected bonuses like a baby high chair. They had water in the fridge, snacks, and wine waiting for us. It was the small things that really stood out in this really nice house.

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!

Great location!
This house was a great location to head downtown. The living room was too small to gather and watch a movie, and the basement was a little cold. A new coffee maker possibly? We arrived late in the evening, and it would have been nice to have some bottled water and coffee for the AM since we weren't able to shop. Thank you for the snacks :) All in all, we enjoyed out stay.
