Who knew you could be so close to Asheville and yet be in the mountains! We were right down the road from the "Western Residence" of the NC governor--so what's good enough for the governor.... The view was amazing in all kinds of weather and time of day. Conveniences like a grocery store were just down at the bottom of the mountain. Robbie was quick to answer a question. We were very happy in our comfortable, clean round house on the mountain.
