I can't say enough good things about this place and Dixiemarree. The photos do it justice. It's a quaint little guesthouse tucked away in the woods. Very clean and has just enough of a modern touch to make it incredibly comfortable. The back porch connects onto a hiking trail that has some pretty awesome light hiking around a lake area (can't beat that). It's just outside of Asheville, but not too far away, so getting into town to get groceries or eat at restaurants wasn't a hassle. The real beauty of this area is the mountains, forests, and waterways in the surrounding area. Truly stunning and nature at its finest. Definitely check out Black Balsam Knob if you're looking for an awesome hiking or trail running experience. On top of all this, Dixiemarree was a fantastic host. Easy to communicate with, easy check-in, and she was very friendly/accommodating during our entire stay. This place and Dixiemarree are highly recommended for an Asheville stay.
