Such a cool studio apartment, tucked away up a long gravel driveway and surrounded by hardwood trees, with three little goats nearby! Julia built this place with her own hands --contemporary interior| comfy double bed| smaller shower| fully-equipped kitchen| TV| the works! The peacefulness was exquisite-- wake up to songbirds instead of traffic! A 15-min. drive to downtown, but halfway between there and charming Black Mountain (many shops, eateries, ice cream, and Pisgah Brewery!)
Julia is the perfect hands-off host, congenially greeting her guests if they see her tending the goats or garden, but otherwise quietly leaving you on your own. She's got a great packet of area info, hiking, a guidebook or two, Blue Ridge Parkway maps, etc. A long-time resident/former realtor, she knows the countryside thoroughly!
