I had a relaxing month-long stay in this house surrounded by trees. The drive to Asheville was just about 15 minutes. Not too close, not too far. I liked the long driveway — the house is not right off the road. Note: The road is well used and traffic is audible. The property is large, and I liked feeling protected by the trees. The swaying bed on the front porch is comfy and relaxing. I saw plenty of bunnies and birds. The full kitchen had everything I needed to cook at home: toaster, coffee maker, oven, microwave, fridge. The washer-dryer was downstairs in basement; both worked perfectly well. The WiFi is good. Rebecca was very responsive to minor problems I had during my stay.
Things I loved:
Swaying porch bed.
Summertime lightning bugs are plentiful.
Full kitchen, plenty of room and all appliances needed.
Being surrounded by trees.
The fire pit.
Plenty of lights and fans.
Plenty of pillows in bedroom.
The provided black face cloths for makeup removal.
Easily accessible outlets/ extension cords in bathrooms.
Proximity to Arboretum.
Things to be aware of:
The house is off a fairly busy street: You can definitely hear the traffic. It’s not overwhelming, though.
At certain times of day, there is heavy traffic coming into the neighborhood.
