Forget the places downtown. Gashes Fluss Haus is where you want to be - trust me on this one. It's less than a minute to the Blue Ridge Parkway and only 5-10 min. to downtown. Paul happened to be outside when I arrived. I immediately felt welcome, the conversation was great, and I even got to hang with the dog and rabbits for a minute. The cottage speaks for itself. It truly is as charming as it looks in the photos, and the wood stove only adds to that. You'll have everything you need here and the place is spotless. Oh, and the bed is super comfortable, too. I can't wait to go back!
