The place was absolutely wonderful. We felt plenty isolated between jaunts in and around Asheville. If you’re looking for a true getaway, you’ve fount it!
During our stay, our children (13 & 16) had fun exploring in the woods, as my wife and I played pool while listening to great records from our childhood. The house was spacious enough for my family of four, but cozy enough for us to enjoy time together by the fire. And, if anyone in your group is perpetually cold like my wife, there are plenty of heaters and a central HVAC system to help keep them warm.
I did make a few meals during our time here. The kitchen had most of what I was accustomed to having. For what wasn’t, it was easy enough to improvise. As an added bonus, there was a vast array of spices and condiments. Check the cupboards and fridge before you make your trips to the nearby Ingles and Whole Foods.
Throughout the home, there are plenty of notes and advice answering questions pertaining to just about every feature you encounter. But, if there were any questions, our host was exceedingly responsive and engaged.
One little caution: the driveway is quite steep. Make certain you have a vehicle suited for driving in the mountains. For this Florida native, I enjoyed our rides up and down it. Hills are a bit of treat.
Anyhow, I’m not generally one to gush. But, the only thing that would have made our stay any more perfect would have been one less rainy day. It was splendid!
Safe travels!
