Dorothy’s place is in the perfect location if you’re looking to be close to downtown Asheville but not right in the middle of it all. It literally is a 5 or so minute drive to downtown. It was perfect for my husband and I. We enjoyed downtown Asheville and did some hiking during our stay. It’s a 45-50 minute drive to DuPont Forest where we went hiking. We’d definitely stay here again. Very easy to get to all that we were wanting to do while in the area.
