What a gorgeous farm house! We and the 2 kids had a great week enjoying some fresh air and are already trying to align our schedules to return next summer. My daughter loved watching the horse across the path, occasional deer and rabbit sightings, and most of all, bears! Sounds terrifying at first but the hosts disclosed ahead of time that there are black bears in the area that tend to rummage through open trash cans, but are generally scared of people and not aggressive unless they feel attacked. During our dinner the first night a mother and 4 adorable black bear cubs managed to break open the bear-proof trash can (which was probably not locked correctly) outside and have a picnic. Cubs rolling around on each other, quite adorable (watching from inside the house, of course). The hosts live next door and cleaned up shortly afterwards and apologized, but the bears are native to this region, so in the end we were thankful for their hospitality! My kids were excited that we got to see the bear family a couple more times as we were driving around the area, and were probably their favorite part of the trip.
Otherwise the house is very close to the blue ridge parkway, and only a 5-10 min drive to north asheville. Great to visit to get away from the city and telework during pandemic times, and will only be better once this is over (fingers crossed). A+ hosts!
