Llamaste is simply the best! We were looking for a nature-y, relaxing jumping off point for our first visit to Asheville and this place delivered and then some. Pamela was such a gracious hostess. Gave us our space, but never hesitated to answer questions in person or over the airbnb app or offer up a cup of coffee or carrots to entice the llamas! The property is beautiful. So many places to sit and relax on the screened in porch, the front outdoor porch, the animal enclosure (there's swings!), the bamboo grove, and more. Take your pick and just relax to your heart's content, taking in the sounds of birds (spotted a woodpecker!) or windchimes, a starry sky or the soft decorative lanterns/lights throughout the inside and outside of the house, or the beautiful tree skyline, since this property is up a somewhat steep hill against a mountain.
The property however was also super close/accessible to downtown Asheville and everything it has to offer. Once you come down the private driveway a half mile you hit a main road and are super close to the Blue Ridge Parkway for all the outdoor fun as well as 10-13 minutes away from the food, music, bars, breweries etc. It was super convenient.
Our bedroom was off the main floor living area with its own private bathroom and mini-fridge and the bed was comfortable and everything was wonderfully kept up and clean. Wifi was a good speed too. Can't complain about a single thing!
We also had a great time getting to know the resident animals. In addition to the llamas and goats there's also a lovely cat and two dogs who let us lavish them with pets. We were also able to bring one of our dogs who is better behaved and she had a great time exploring the property and hanging with the other animals.
I wish I could have stayed longer! This place is a gem.
