We had a nice stay. The host was kind and very responsive. The house itself is nice and well cared for, and the hot tub was a good addition. The location was convenient, with a short drive to Asheville and the parkway. It was a little less remote than we expected; the pictures made it look like we’d be kind of off in the middle of a farm, but it was actually at the end of a shared driveway with neighbors that had a yard full of junk and a confederate flag in the window. We had also hoped that the outdoor area would be good for the children to play, but it really wasn’t (a bit of broken glass, grimy outdoor cushions). All in all, it was a good break from the city but not the pastoral escape we were hoping for.
