Our stay at this riverside bungalow offered our family a quiet woodsy retreat on an otherwise typically busy weekend.
While it was chillier than normal for nearly June, I imagine the shaded location next to the river would provide a cool respite on hot summer days. The proximity to access points on the French Broad and various hikes within a short drive made the location ideal for kayakers and hikers like us.
Though we could have easily gone to downtown Asheville, instead we chose to spend our time in the small towns of Marshall and Hot Springs and in the Leicester area (if you're staying in April/May, make sure your visit Mt. Gilead Farm for their baby goat feeding experience!). The fully fenced yard and screened-in porch accommodated perfectly for our pups as they much prefer to be outside rather than in. We felt confident they were secure, even when we were not at the bungalow.
Though we didn't use the fire pit nor the grill, had we stayed longer, I'm sure we would have. And though we had 5 adults in our group, the large bathroom made having only one very workable.
Jennifer was quick to respond and even checked in with us during our stay to see how things were going. We would definitely this property!
