It was a beautiful home, perched up on the top of a hill, at the end of a dirt road. We had somewhat of a view since it was winter and the trees were bare. It's not really conducive to hiking from the house, but it was still close enough to things like Asheville, just 15 minutes away. There were several suggested activity suggestions left for us which was really nice. The wifi was pretty slow so don't expect to get much work done but perfect to disconnect.
