RENTAL RATES
"Our group of 10 have stayed at several homes in various locations around the country. This house was by far the best home we have rented. It had more than everything we needed. We sat by a fire at the outdoor pavilion every night of our stay. If we ever decide to visit the Asheville area again, we won't even look at other properties. This is where we will stay. Not sure our group will ever find another property as good as this one."

What a beautiful property. Fantastic location and meticulously kept...my family and friends couldn’t have been happier. I couldn’t recommend this beautiful home and property more.

This property was the perfect getaway for our family. Between the stunning homes on site, roasting s’mores in the evenings and watching fireflies at night, it was an idyllic spot for some rest and relaxation

This property is breathtaking. Gorgeous design/architecture, expansive landscape, quality details at every turn. We had a very memorable weekend celebrating a birthday with close friends. It was the perfect escape! Close proximity to everything that Asheville has to offer. The customer service from the property managers was top-notch. Very quick to respond to every question. They even checked in with us during the stay to make sure our needs were met. Impressive! We can't wait to return in the future.

We had a great time at the Retreat for a 21st year of college friends getting together from all over the country. Having two homes was great. The space on the property was a ton of fun for us 40 somethings to fish and play wiffle ball. The homes were very nice and well appointed. Everything we needed and we ended up cooking both nights rather than making the trek to Asheville. Very convenient to the airport and Sierra Nevada.

My now husband and I eloped in Asheville and rented this home to stay with close family and friends the weekend of our wedding. It was as amazing!! The house is gorgeous, clean, modern, elegant, and the grounds are beyond beautiful. It was like staying at a private resort. Any questions I had prior to check-in were answered in a timely manner and everyone was friendly and accommodating.
Amazing luxury for the whole family

We just returned from a much needed girlfriends weekend where we celebrated a 50th Birthday. This vacation rental was more than what we expected. It had everything we needed and was the perfect setting for our celebration. We will definitely be back, 5 stars for sure!"

We have stayed in several AVL Luxury Vacation Rentals and they have all been incredible- this one was certainly no exception! The property is all as described... amazing interior design and function, neat as a pin, and with all the amenities a family could want. "The Retreat" has both the main home and the separate cottage along with incredible outdoor spaces to enjoy. Every room is to die for and, and I can't imagine anyone having anything other than the very best experience. Our oldest daughter lives in Asheville and we love to bring in our other adult children and our parents to visit and we simply can't say enough good things about this property.

We stayed here for a bachelorette party and it couldn’t have been more perfect. A quick drive to the airport and downtown, this house was as convenient as they come. The house is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed, and stocked with everything you and your fellow travelers would need. I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a stylish, comfortable, and spacious place for a group trip!

Five star accommodations at very tastefully appointed properties. Every bedroom was very comfortable (per my guest....very well traveled and picky bunch). The common areas were well equipped for the ultimate in gathering of friends and families. We’re already thinking of our return trip THIS YEAR when it’s warmer.

The house and grounds were beautiful. There were games and outdoor sporting equipment for our teens to play with. All the beds were comfortable and the linens were luxurious. The management team was available even over the Thanksgiving holiday with the small issue we had. It was close to Ashville but far enough to feel peaceful.
Great Mountain Retreat!

Part of me does not want to write this review because I don't want the secret to get out about this incredible property. Our group was 12 in total, all with extensive travel experience, and every one of us was extremely impressed by the quality of this home. It was spotless upon our arrival and is every bit as good as the pictures online. Everything in the home is high-end. The location was convenient for trips into Asheville and the surrounding area, but we actually spent less time than planned in Asheville because we liked the home so much. We particularly enjoyed spending time in the outdoor pavilion and playing lawn games in the vast yard.

Our family stayed at this fantastic property for a long Easter weekend and we could not have been more pleased to have done so! From the kitchens and outdoor spaces to the bedrooms and bathrooms, both the home and the cottage are very well appointed with everything one could need to thoroughly enjoy their visit. We had an incredible time fishing in the pond and stream, as well as hiking and relaxing. Furthermore, management was extremely knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. We so appreciated their amazing assistance in planning our stay, and we look forward to visiting this beautiful home in the future.
Stunning Retreat!
by Jennifer
02/12/2018
We have stayed many places in the Asheville area over the last 20 years, and this is by far our favorite! The house is immaculately kept with every amenity you could need! The guest cottage is updated with the latest as well, including heated floors in the bathrooms! Both spaces are decorated as if you have stepped into a designer magazine but with a feeling of relaxation and coziness. We had 5 couples with 3 in the main house and 2 in the guest cottage and it worked out perfectly. Our favorite spot to hang out was the covered patio with the fire place and heaters over looking the gorgeous grounds with the mountains and stream in the background!
It was an easy 20 min drive/Uber to our favorite spots in downtown Asheville and 8 min to the grocery store. The airport and Sierra Nevada brewing were only 15 min away.
We are already planning a return to the Retreat to enjoy it in the summer with our kids!

This property lived up to the listing and photos and then some. It is an unbelievably gorgeous designer home. We had a large group (9 people) and we all kept saying how lucky we felt that we got to stay there. The home is well appointed and the property managers are responsive and flexible. It is about 25 minutes from downtown/the Biltmore, but it is worth it. Ubers were easy to get and the drive wasn't dangerous (being from Florida, we were concerned about driving in rain or ice). We had no issues getting to or from there. I highly recommend this property and hope I get to go back someday!
Great for families & wonderfully appointed!
by Emily

Wow! This home has it all!! The main house has a great layout- perfect for a group or family. The guest house is so quaint & works well for parents visiting, a nanny or older children! This property was perfect for our family weekend & only 20 minutes from downtowns Asheville. We enjoyed cozy fires both inside & outside (tons of wood provided) as well as cooking yummy meals in the gourmet kitchen. The kids loved playing on the gorgeous lawn & swinging down by the stream. We will definitely be back!!
AMAZING Home - 5 Stars PLUS PLUS PLUS!

My family, 11 in total, celebrated my mothers 85th birthday at The Retreat and we could not have chosen a better home for the celebration.
The home is as advertised, and then some! There isn’t a detail overlooked, and some you never would have thought of. Beds are super comfortable, plenty of towels, and the radiant heat floors and heated towel racks were especially appreciated in January!
Four generations, all with different needs, had plenty of room to gather together, or go off for some alone time. The kitchen is the center of the home where everyone could either help with meal preparation, or just hang out and not be in the way. We ate every meal in…why go out when you’ve a beautiful incredibly well outfitted kitchen, and gas grill just off the living/dining area!
Can’t say enough about this home! Wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll be back!

The kitchen is the center of the home where everyone could either help with meal preparation, or just hang out and not be in the way. We ate every meal in…why go out when you’ve a beautiful incredibly well outfitted kitchen, and gas grill just off the living/dining area!
Can’t say enough about this home! Wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll be back!
