Everything you need for a relaxing family getaway! First, location - nestled on a quiet neighborhood hilltop with a panoramic view of the mountains, you can sit on the front porch in the morning and enjoy your coffee while watching the view! It’s just a few minutes away from the Bent Creek trails, North Carolina Arboretum, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Biltmore Estate and 15 minutes from downtown Asheville. There is a community park close by with a great playground and places to practice cycling for kids in a pump track. Second - the amenities - the hot tub and wet sauna just melted all the stress away! The house is very immaculately clean, well organized and had everything you need for a comfortable stay - our daughter enjoyed having her own TV in her bedroom! Finally, we enjoyed all the little extras including coffee, tea, beer and snacks. Gene was a fantastic host, kept the hot tub cleaned regularly, and gave us excellent recommendations for where to eat and what to do - some highlights include 12 Bones (excellent barbecue), Looking Glass Falls (easy, close waterfall hike), and Carrier Park (cool park for cycling in a velodrome). We look forward to coming back here!
