Jovita (and Michael's) place was outstanding in every way. The place is beautiful with lots of thoughtful "little things" that make it feel like home. Jovita's place has plenty of room for 1-2 folks, great deck, outstanding location, great vista's, all located within a short drive to Asheville. As an added bonus you can also access the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway for hiking, sightseeing and spectacular views. By the way their yard is spectacular with lots of character that blend together the mountain location with serene foliage. In fact the yard was so nice a family of 4 bears frolicked one late afternoon.
This trip was a retirement trip to scope out the area so getting some local insight was part of my objective. This is where Michael and Vita really helped. They gave me plenty of space but were very helpful when I accepted their offer to help. I left Asheville convinced it will be a great place to retire, especially knowing I have two new friends in Vita and Michael.
