A place guests return to

Guests call this a peaceful retreat, and many are repeat visitors who keep coming back
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!

Neighbourhood 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.
