Michael was the perfect host; he met us upon our arrival to show us around the property and answer questions about Asheville. Michael's place is extraordinary and pictures of the view from the open deck don't do it justice. The location is perfect and within walking distance of downtown Asheville and the River Arts District. Just a short drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway and wonderful hiking trails. If you are looking for peace and quiet or adventure, Michael's place is the perfect home base.
