Our family had a wonderful visit to the Asheville area. The house was the perfect size for our family of 5, and our dog as well. Know that you will need to purchase your own condiments, paper products, dishwasher detergent, and laundry detergent. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed a nice campfire in the backyard, and made use of the gaming area in the basement. Arden was the ideal location as we were typically 10-20 minutes away from most of our destinations in Asheville, and typically 40 minutes away from some of the nearby mountains for hiking and exploring.
