We enjoyed our week long stay here so much! The Blue Ridge Parkway is literally a minutes drive away, including the fantastic Folk Art Center, which is a must visit. We spent every morning on the deck just rocking with a cup of coffee that included a visit from Mr. Cardinal (one of our favorite species), each evening we were rocking again, with cocktails, enjoying the cool breezes. The Biltmore Estate and the hubbub of downtown Ashville were very close, but we didn’t come here for that. If you do come here during these difficult times, come for the calming peace of Matilda’s home and for the beauty and majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the fabulous Blue Ridge Parkway, I promise you won’t be disappointed!
