This turned out to be the perfect place to stay. Julia made herself available by text and email on the day of our arrival. She was there to greet us as we arrived at the house and showed us the basics. The apartment set up was great. The size was just right and was laid out well, making a clear separation between living, sleeping, and eating. We had every convenience of home, even finding a corkscrew when the need arose! We were able to stock the fridge for our stay from the large grocery store close by too. Brewing coffee at the house and enjoying it on the patio was very relaxing.
One of our main objectives was hiking. Woody Glen was a nice home base. In just a few minutes we were on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but close enough to be in Asheville enjoying a local brew and cuisine after a day of hiking. Julia even provided hand drawn maps of a couple hikes close to "home" to get started. One of the hikes just down the road a bit crossed the Blue Ridge Parkway onto the Mountain To Sea Trail.
An added bonus was Milo the Yellow Lab and the goats. The goats were just fun to watch and cool to learn about and Milo's visits made leaving our two dogs at home a little more bearable. Milo is just one cool dog!
We would definitely stay again and will be looking for an opportunity to do so in the future.
