Dorothy's place was great for us and our two dogs. It's a little bit of a windy road to to the house which at first was a little scary for us Floridians not used to mountains, but after a few times around, it wasn't so scary. We did see a black bear running through a neighbor's trash on the road below! Dorothy's trash is secured in a wooden box. Our first time seeing a bear so, crazy for us! Otherwise place was very clean and had everything we needed. It's tiny but we didn't come to Asheville to stay inside. Dorothy wrote some great places to go as well and was quick to respond to everything. Enjoy
