Riverside retreat near Asheville

About a 15-min drive to downtown Asheville, with the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking trails just minutes away

Screened porch over the river

A riverfront screened-in porch where the sound of flowing water fills the entire house

A place guests keep coming back to

Guests describe this as one of the most peaceful stays they've had, with many returning for repeat visits
Perched on the river's edge, surrounded by trees and rhododendron, this quaint 2000 sq ft bungalow is a nature lover's sanctuary only 7 miles from downtown Asheville. A minimalist urban-boho vibe with OMG river views plus a well-equipped kitchen for stay-at-home meals, high-speed wifi, a work-from-home office/writing space (and bubbling falls just beneath the window), a TV room, and a "let's-never-leave-here" riverfront screened in porch.

The space
This is a brand new listing, and I just opened up the summer months now that my first guests are raving via text during their stay.

It's a special house for a special guest. From the commitment to provide and use only earth-friendly products to the little extras for work-from-home'rs..like circle lights (because Zoom), a laptop riser and the Eero trio for no-fail wifi signal... this house is part mindful retreat space, part work-when-you-have-to, and part nature-paradise. All within 7 miles of downtown and minutes from the Mountains-to-Sea trail, Nature Center, Blue Ridge Parkway and hike or bike trails.

I wanted the interior of the house to create a soul-nurturing and artful environment - so guests will discover - with delight - that this is not your typical "throw-some-old-furniture-down-and-call-it-a-rental" house.

Guest access
There is a driveway right next to the entrance for easy access and unloading. Uber and Lyft both come to this street. Whole Foods is just a 7 minute drive. And the local chain - Ingles Grocery - is a 5 minute drive. Local hikes, restaurants and dog walks are all within minutes as well.

Other things to note
This is a brand new listing, and it's filling up quickly. Please contact me directly with questions about long-term availability. For people who want a dedicated larger office space, the master bedroom can be converted into a complete office. Happy to help - but please reach out first!

Neighborhood highlights

Because the street is nestled alongside a river, the way out is all uphill. (Cyclists need to know these things!) There is no official public river access here, so privacy is ensured. If you bring a kayak, you would enter the river from the backyard, and find a way to drive yourself back to the house.

My work: Author, artist, entrepreneur, business coach.
Lives in Asheville, North Carolina
I moved to Asheville in the 90's to escape the city and my post-college cubicle job. I wanted to be a songwriter...which thrilled my parents to no end. It was the perfect place - and I spent the next 15 years as a touring performing songwriter on my own record label. (Shared stages with everyone from The Beach Boys to John Mayer to Nanci Griffith - and made 7 CD's along the way.) In 2010, I started a business coaching company, hosting clients from all over the world at our events here.
