The LOCATION has its pros and cons. The pro is a secluded, peaceful paradise. We could not hear any traffic or people, only birds...bliss! Theres even a nice stone circle fire pit with Adirondack chairs, my favorite spot. The con: the one lane, switch back, curvy road to get there is beautiful woods and peekaboo views, but terrifying. Definitely was an adventure! We do not know what we would have done if we met another person in the road!?...and I would not want to be trying to navigate that road in the rain, let alone the snow. So that’s something to keep in mind, it’s not for the faint of heart driver or someone inexperienced behind the wheel. But again the flip side to that is you get off the mountain and voila you’re IN Asheville! So that’s cool!
The APARTMENT is as described and shown in listing. It’s a simple and very clean apartment someone made out of an old garage in the basement of their home. All open concept with a little room in the middle for the bathroom. Just what we needed. The landlords were very respectful of privacy and we never saw them. The down side was that you can hear everything that’s going on in the house all times of day and night...and sound goes both ways so we felt we needed to stay quiet. So little privacy that way.
If you’re looking at the kitchen and are excited to cook I’d message the landlord first and make sure they have the tools you’d want, so you can bring them if they don’t provide them.
We loved the twinkle lights in the kitchen and living area! It was nice to enter into that ambiance. The candles provided were a great touch! Decent place for the money.
