Extremely clean and well maintained place. The place was quite spacious for the three of us (one kid). The kitchen was very well supplied. Location was great - 5 minute drive to the blue ridge parkway visitor center and the folk art center. Downtown Asheville was only 15 minutes or less. It was pet friendly and Lindsay thoughtfully supplies separate sheets for our dog! Lindsay is an exceptional host with very prompt communication. The area around the house is residential and quiet and peaceful with friendly neighbors. The house is on a hill and the river is at the base, so the walk to the river is steep. Make sure to put on bug spray if you plan to go to the river - the path has heavy canopy and is very natural, so expect some mosquitos. The house itself had no such bug issues. Exceptional value!
