New Property Listing!

Unique Riverside Sanctuary Near Asheville! Just five miles down the road from the Asheville Regional Airport, you're transported down a gated, paved drive to a private paradise at the Moondance River Retreat. Each living space in this custom contemporary has been crafted to provide a peaceful escape, from the multi-level flagstone patio with a sunken hot tub to the sumptuous main suite spa and dry sauna. The home's expansive layout includes double dining areas and a sun-drenched living room that's perfect for entertaining. Wonder at the massive stacked stone hearth that looks as though it has risen from the river itself, adding a gas fireplace to the living area and an intriguing centerpiece to the adjacent bedroom. You'll discover noteworthy design details at every turn in the soft ambiance of this gorgeous home, including wormy chestnut cabinets, warm terracotta floor tiles, tasteful artwork, and a steel catwalk to the private upper-level rec room and home office. Three spacious bedrooms on the lower level ensure that everyone is comfortable after a long day of mountain adventures. The outdoor spaces at Moondance River Retreat were designed to provide the ultimate interaction with the river: lounge in quiet contemplation on a padded chaise, nap on the front porch futon, or walk down to the Adirondack chairs on the river bank to enjoy the sounds of the water. On a hot day, a dip in the river is a great way to cool off! The landscaped lawn is a feast for the eyes in any season with extensive hardscaping, not a neighbor in sight, and a wood-burning fire pit for late-night bonfires. The opportunities for fun are endless here, so put your feet up and relax at Moondance River Retreat, a resort-quality private vacation rental that's still within easy reach of everything Asheville.

After a busy day spent exploring local trails and waterfalls on the Blue Ridge Parkway and in nearby Brevard, it's a short drive home for you to refresh and then head out again to discover farm-to-table dining establishments, craft breweries, theater, art galleries, and a vibrant music scene. This Asheville vacation rental is located in Mills River and is approximately 30 minutes from downtown Asheville; all at 2172 ft above sea level.

I would definitely return!
Beautiful river running through the yard. Great to have the sauna in the bathroom. The office space above the garage was very quiet and spacious. The stone fireplace was grand. 5 adults stayed there comfortably. I would definitely return. Thank you.

Beautiful & Peaceful
I believe we were the first to book this property. Pretty sure it had just been listed. The house is large and amenities were perfect. The river is in the back yard, and we went fly fishing right there. The kids tubed down the river every day. If you’re looking for a mountain vacation/getaway, the location was central to everything. We went horseback riding, hiking, white water rafting, and saw many other attractions. There are breweries everywhere in the area. My wife and I highly recommend this property!
