'Serene' is the keyword. The area immediately surrounding the rental feels like a minimally-developed habitat within a bustling city; a slice of wilderness and quiet where you wouldn't first think to find it.
Beth was a wonderful host: kind, attentive, and accommodating. Belinda, who looks after the property from time to time, is also really sweet.
All-around it's a great, *quiet* and *green* retreat, hosted by great people, for a fantastic price relative to Asheville. I really loved my 3-week stay.
