Kristyn’s place is just as advertised. The house sits up high overlooking the mountains and provides for a spectacular view of the morning sunrise. The house has a reverse floor plan with windows lining the top floor living space to take in the beautiful mountain surroundings. Our young boys loved playing in the bunk area and enjoyed exploring the hiking trail in the backyard which leads to the land to sea trail. Although you feel secluded while in the house, it is very close to a nice grocery store and some local restaurants. In fact, you can hop on the parkway in about five minutes from the house. If you want to visit downtown Asheville, it is only about a 15 minute drive.
As a host Kristyn was extremely responsive and provided us with several good recommendations for hiking and eating out. All in all a very pleasant experience and would recommend, especially if you are seeking a place with a view and immediate hiking options.
