Carl's place is in a great part of town if you're looking for somewhere to stay just outside the increasing business of downtown Asheville. It's very close to Elk Mountain, which is a classic bike climb in the area, and it's a short run to Beaver Lake, which has a great trail around the water. A relatively new coffee shop is down the street, and the neighborhood is quiet with wonderful views.
We can't recommend enough how great of a stay this is!
