Fall family trip

Our family of retired 5 siblings and mom enjoyed our stay of 5 nights in this perfectly suited home with a bedroom for each couple. We found the location ideal, a short drive into downtown Asheville, quiet neighborhood, beautiful setting. Would have been 5 star review had it not been for the broken dishwasher requiring hand washing the chipped dishes and tdishwasher.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Graves

Host profile image
We are two families that are long-time friends and co-workers. Between us we have kids ranging in age from toddlers to teenagers, and we love to travel to the Asheville area. We have rented a number of the available properties, but wanted to find the ideal spot... so we decided to create it ourselves. If we weren't busy working (as environmental engineers, a Realtor/former NASA flight operations engineer, and a microcontroller product engineer, turned author) we'd be fighting over which family would get to move in full-time!

Why they chose this property

After sharing three other properties as vacation rentals last year, and seeing that we weren't the only ones seeking out the perfect property, we thought we should try to find another ideal vacation home and vacation rental. When we found this home, we immediately saw the potential. It was nearly complete with the attributes we were looking for: multiple master bedrooms, great views, completely modernized amenities, and ideal convenience to all that the Asheville area has to offer. It is a beautiful mountain home!!

What makes this property unique

Key benefits of the Liesure Mountain Lodge are:
- Wooded mountain property this close to downtown!
- multiple master bedrooms with en-suite baths
- 5 bedrooms and 4 and a half baths
- Huge outdoor deck and outdoor firepit, gas fireplaces, and screened in porch
- end of road privacy
- easy all-paved access from the property to a major freeway
- high speed internet and cell coverage (rare for mountain properties)
