This is a peaceful setting up in the hills in North Carolina. You are only about 15 minutes away from amenities like food and restaurants. And then Asheville is slightly farther away. Black Mountain is about 25 minutes away. Very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is quiet and clean and you get to enjoy the entire porch outside on the bottom level --watching the birds and squirrels scurrying about. Will is a great host who has provided things like a coffee maker, fridge and microwave for you to use. Cell phone reception can be spotty but he has wi-fi connection to hook up to. I would definitely stay here again.
