We had a wonderful stay at Julia's adorable Eco-Cottage. The studio was clean, inviting, and stocked with everything we needed for the week. It is a close distance to a grocery store called Ingles, Filo (a great coffee shop with bagels and french pasteries) and only about 10 miles from downtown Asheville. Her house is so peaceful, close to wonderful hiking trails, and as a MAJOR bonus Julia has the sweetest dog (Milo) and adorable, friendly goats (we were there for the birth of two!). This destination is PERFECT for people who love animals, nature, outdoor activities, and peace. If you're looking for city life - it's a short drive away.
Asheville itself (and the surrounding small towns) has sooooo much to explore, national parks and forests, beautiful falls...I cannot say enough.
Thank you, Julia, for your hospitality, wonderful recommendations, sharing your animals and space with us. I will definitely be recommending this location to all of my friends and family. We will be back!
