Elaine's place was great. We came to hike and it is very convenient to Blue Ridge Parkway. It is also just a short 10 minute drive to downtown Asheville. It seemed much bigger than the photos, and the backyard was great for our pup. As other reviews have mentioned the street in the back is a little loud, but you can't hear it at all inside. Would definitely come back here the next time we bring the pup to Asheville.
