The wrap-around porch was our favorite part and we were a quick drive to the city (no safe way with sidewalks to walk that we saw). We were surprised that while surrounded by trees the place also is surrounded by other homes above, below and to the side of the AirBnB. Since we went in the winter, the trees were mostly bare so we saw these homes which made it less secluded than we had hoped, and why we had originally chosen this AirBnB. (The spring and summer trees would be better since they probably would block the views of the houses.) We loved Asheville so overall it was still a great trip!
