It was a lovely studio with everything we needed and little we didn't. Miriam left snacks out which were great for lazy afternoons after a hike or coming back from a craft beer bar crawl. There's a binder Miriam left out with a variety of suggestions, super helpful! There were lines to add any suggestions you had, so we put down Double D's (a coffee/dessert shop in a double decker bus, it was great!) and a couple other places. There was just enough space that my partner and I could comfortably move around, have some space, take a second out on the patio in the morning (say hi the dogs!), but it was still small enough that the space heater was sufficient on cold nights. We appreciated using the firepit; matches were provided but we went into town to get a few firestarters anyways.
Everything is ecofriendly, which is amazing. It was quiet and well-connected via highway (not walkable to downtown), but while you can defnitely walk around a lovely area, if you're looking for hiking (like Pisgah National Forest 'level' hiking) then you still have to drive a considerable distance to get to proper mountains and hikes. But we definitely apppreciated how it straddled the two because we'd never been to the area before.
