The house was great! Perfect for a group of four and with all the necessities there when you arrive. We found the location to be quite convenient for visiting both downtown Asheville and the parkway. The house is located on a busy road, but we were not bothered by noise at all. If you want total nature immersion, this may not be your ideal spot, but we had a great stay and especially liked having the deck off of the kitchen to enjoy sitting outside under all the beautiful oak trees!
