Such a great, quiet location, yet near all the action. Whether your Asheville trip is focused on town or the surrounds, Miriam's place puts you conveniently close to it all. From her location you can take the back way into town or take the main route via 4-lanes and expressway. You can quickly get to hwys leading in any direction. You have your own parking spot and entrance so you don't feel you are sneaking in. Located at the end of a gravel road, you truly feel you are getting 'away' even though you're just a few minutes from copious entertainment choices. Our trip was focused on mountain biking. We got from Miriam's to Bent Creek in under 30 minutes and to Lake Imaging Rd Parking Area in Dupont in ~ 50mins. We ate most meals outside the home but it was well-provisioned with all-but-microwave to make eating-in easy to do. The coffee provided was a nice and tasty surprise!
