You could sense the history at the Gasthaus. A quaint little, unconventional place close to downtown but still a little remote with lots of nature right off of the Blue Ridge Highway.
Paul was a fantastic host, personable and considerate of our comfort (when we arrived he was chopping wood for us because the temperature was going to drop overnight). He also made sure we were aware of how close we were to a wonderful hiking spot.
The Gasthaus was a great place to recharge in between our Asheville adventures.
