Richards place was very stylish and only 10 minutes from all of the amazing restaurants and breweries. If you like to run there is a trail called the French Broad River Greenway only 1.3 miles from the house. Just look up the Hominy Creek River Park parking lot and that is the start of the trail. If you like to run long you can keep going all the way to downtown Asheville. My husband and I came for the city and hiking around and had a great time.
