This was by far one of the more unique places we’ve stayed in during our travels. Sleeping in a “tree house” was a first for me and a great way to celebrate part of our 25th wedding anniversary. There are a lot of steps in “Aerie” so if you have trouble with steps then maybe look at something else. But it is a tree house so steps are part of the charm. The place was spotless and well stocked with coffee and treats. We cooked a steak on the fire pit the first night because there is no stove in the place, but there is a sink, frig, microwave, coffee maker and counter spaces. Buy some frozen breakfasts and pop them in the microwave. Only one negative to report. The neighborhood that Aerie is located in is on the top of a mountain (some might call it a really big hill) that overlooks I-26 that goes around Ashville, NC. First day there the wind was blowing from the interstate towards the house and it was loud. Next day it was blowing away and still the traffic noise was pronounced but with the windows and French doors closed (there are no screens) the sounds were greatly diminished and was not a problem at bedtime. However, saying all that, the local highway system makes getting around the Ashville area easy so you can’t have it all. I’d certainly recommend this place for anyone who’s looking for something unique and we’ll probably stay here again when we’re in Ashville.
