I know when I read reviews I want to know 2 things: is the area safe and is it clean. YES to both. Charming area away from the the busy-ness of the city, but so close to everything. Does not feel like you are just staying at someone’s home, but like you have rented a cabin in the woods. And it was so spectacularly clean we spent the first day speaking of almost nothing else. Hosts were easily accessible, and everything was clearly explained. Less than 5 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Super close to the trendy shops and restaurants, and a very short drive to the Biltmore Estate. Will most definitely stay here again if we are in the area with no hesitation.
