Looking for a comfortable mountain retreat with a view, a wonderful hostess and proximity to all Asheville has to offer? I recommend you consider Christy's place. It's got huge windows that overlook black mountain in a cozy neighborhood that makes you feel much further from civilization than you actually are. Our hostess was thoughtful and kind and when we needed flexibility to dodge a hurricane, she was incredibly generous and hospitable.
A few notes for a decision to stay here:
1) consider staying in a night or two. The space is great for hanging out as a group and enjoying the view. The draw of spending time in Asheville to me is also spending time in the hills around it.
2) If you're going to enjoy any of the breweries in the area, make sure you have a designated driver as the drive up the mountain to the property has curves.
3) just down the road is a coffee shop called Filo & Post 70. The service, coffee and food is excellent. Strongly recommend as a stop to or from any of your nature, beer, or other cultural adventures.
Overall, loved this experience and would happily stay again.
