Everything about Trace’s place was fantastic. I took my GF to Asheville to ask her to be my wife, and I think this place may have tipped the scale in my favor 😜.
The View. I cannot express the beauty and serenity of having my morning cup of coffee with that view. The photos in the listing do not fully translate the beauty.
Going up mountain. Being from Detroit, the first trip up was a little intimidating. By the second trip up we couldn’t believe we were making such a big deal of it. All of the neighbors are very respectful and patient with those not familiar with navigating it.
The space. It was everything we needed and more. The layout is fascinating with multiple levels and multiple deck/balcony’s. The master suite on the top floor is like its own house. Large bedroom, office nook, enormous closet, and a bathroom that I want to add to my own home. The bedrooms on the lower floor walk out to a deck with hammocks.
The little things. The fridge has a separate temp controlled drawer just for beverages. The flatware and dishes are sturdy and stylish. Be careful of the dishwasher, it’s so quiet we couldn’t tell if it was running, and the controls are on the top of the door. The garbage disposal is a recessed button next to the faucet. Toiletries that I ALWAYS forget we’re already in the master bath. Sustainable coffee pods for the keurig, and a welcome bottle of wine.
Convenience. I really enjoyed how far away I felt, but we were actually a ten min drive to all conveniences, Groceries, and local restaurants. Waterfalls, hiking, and site seeing were within a 45 min drive. Take note, there is a city wide 35mph speed limit unless otherwise posted. We did not attempt using any ride share services, but they were available.
Wildlife. We saw so many beautiful birds, a couple of owls, and some really interesting looking moths. There are bears on the mountain, but we did not see any up close. We saw a couple baby’s as we were driving around.
