What a beautiful place! It exceeded all of our expectations. The Blue Ridge Parkway access was only a couple of miles away. The house was located near other amenities. The house was immaculate. The location of the house along with the covered patio/porch provides birdwatchers with an optimum site to view birds undetected, providing time to photograph and identify the various species migrating along the Swannanoa River. The host was very gracious and attentive to every detail. Highly recommend.
