House is older, but comfortable and well maintained. Back yard is large enough to play fetch with your dog. Our kid loved making S’mores in the fire pit. Although the back yard isn’t fenced in, there are natural borders on about 75% of it and it feels private. Enjoyed being on the breezeway and playing some of the provided games when it rained. Location depends what you’re looking for. It seemed like you were 20-25 minutes to many places, Asheville, hiking trails. 35-40 minutes to Chimney Rock. You have a view of the mountains, but you don’t feel like you’re in the mountains. It’s along a country road that has a surprisingly high amount of traffic and the noise was often distracting.
