Overall we enjoyed our stay at this house. It’s about 20 minutes from the Biltmore and 10 minutes from downtown Asheville. If your plans are to go hiking it’s anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour one way to different trails depending on where you’re going. The house was a good fit for us, we were a group of four. I really appreciated that there were basic amenities in the fridge like milk and some bottled water and a couple breakfast items, etc. and the added amenities of forgotten toiletries such as deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, etc for us to use freely. The portfolio book of all the different pamphlets of things to do in the area was also great. It’s in a quiet area so you’ll sleep soundly. As I said, this was definitely a great stay for us during our trip.
