The place is clean and light - They designed it themselves and were very smart about laying out the space. Cherylin and her husband, Ricky, are wonderful hosts. I left a set of keys in a drawer and they were quick to arrange to get them back to me. We went downtown one day (10 minute drive) and hiked from Bent Creek area to the NC Arboretum and back the next day (20 minute drive). Plenty of other hiking spots nearby on the Blue Ridge.
