The River House is an absolutely wonderful place to stay in Asheville. I have a hard time imagining staying anywhere else the next time we visit. The peaceful setting next to the river - with lovely gardens and fountains as well - was so tranquil and private, yet we were such a short drive away from all that we wanted to see and do in and around Asheville. Minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and downtown Asheville, the location is excellent. The house was perfect for our family of four, including two teenage boys. The house itself is warm and inviting with lots of light and space. Everything was clean and neat and we had all of the ammenites needed for dining in and grilling out on the patio. The beds were very comfy, including the sofa bed that was suprisingly relaxing for a 6'2" teenager. Rebecca is a kind and thoughful host and offfered outstanding suggestions of experiences we would enjoy. The only thing we wanted was more time to enjoy the house along with all of the activities in Asheville. What a lovely place River House is.
