I stayed here in December with my boyfriend, and we had a fantastic time. There was enough space for the two of us, and the "living room" area with the fridge and coffee maker was an amazing perk every day. Mike was extremely helpful with local tips and directions/parking, and the stay was enjoyable in every way. We came bearing bikes, and Mike was also incredibly accommodating in allowing us to store our gear inside, which was a fantastic help!
This is an apartment underneath the main house, but we had absolutely no issues with noise. It felt like an escape in the mountains, with the comforts of a house, neighborhood and proximity to Asheville. I'm only a bit bummed that we didn't get to see any bears on this trip -- I guess we'll have to stay again!
