The place is just what I needed for a getaway. It’s secluded enough that I could get away from the crowds but also it’s in a nice neighborhood so I felt safe by myself. It was clean and has a very warm and homey feel. It’s about 10 minutes from downtown Asheville and 15 minutes from downtown Black Mountain. The entry to the parkway is only a few minutes away. It’s a great place to use as a base for adventuring but also a great place just to relax.
