The place is fantastic for a quiet getaway just outside of Asheville. It's about 20 minutes from downtown, but close enough to all the breweries and hiking you could want. The hot tub is right on the porch, and there's a fire pit just off the side of the house. While four wheel drive isn't necessary, in bad weather it might not be a bad idea to have. The house has all the basics, so you can cook or not :). We will definitely be returning.
