Highly recommend a stay at the Garden Wheelhouse Retreat. It was a convenient base from which to explore Asheville and the surrounding areas — a short drive to downtown and West Asheville. The host also sent a thoughtful list of local hikes and places to eat, all of which exceeded our expectations. We also had an afternoon picnic in the outdoor dining room, which was one of our favorite memories of our stay, and we enjoyed leisurely coffees sitting by the river at High Five Coffee a short drive down the road from the house.
