We enjoyed staying at Libre’s riverside retreat during Christmas. He was a very welcoming host. The real bonus was quick access to the Blue Ridge Parkway abd the Folk Arts Center—- true American gems!
Five adults and our dogs were comfortable and felt right at home. We had no problem cooking a complete Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, as well as dinners throughout our stay. The kitchen is well equipped with utensils, pots and pans, and dinnerware/glassware. Linens and towels were well stocked.
If you plan to travel in the winter or rainy spring months, I recommend a 4WD vehicle. The road/drive leading to the home is gravel and narrow. We had no trouble with our VW sedan, but there was no snow or major rain events during our stay.
It is a hop, skip, and a jump to restaurants and a supermarket and you can be in downtown Asheville in 15 minutes.
