My husband and I really enjoyed our week stay at the Snook Nook. Finding it was easy enough, and it's so close to Asheville yet has this laid back mountain feel since it's tucked away a bit. There are great hikes within a 30 to 45 min driving radius (we did Bullhead Mountain/Locust Knob once day and Lane Pinnacle another), and most of Asheville is only a 15 to 20 minute drive away. The host's dining recommendations are on point too - trust their opinions. I got to pet their dog a couple of mornings - he is such a gentle and sweet animal. This place is a great value. Do take note, if you sleep in and if light noise is an issue, we did typically hear their kid running around on the floor above us starting around 7 or 7:30 each morning. It's not a ton of noise (and we were always up by then), but it could be a bother to some.
