Brenda's place is located in a great position between downtown Asheville and trails. (Blue Ridge parkway is a don't miss - especially Craggy Point at sunset!)
The space is bigger than the photos make it seem and the seating areas are cozy, with lots of natural light and surrounded by tree cover. You're also 5 minutes from a Biscuit Head location which is a great Asheville breakfast spot. The communication was consistent and there were helpful instructions for check-in, we only had 4 people and more than enough space for ourselves. There are nice little touches from the decor, to coffee and tea, to guidebooks,etc. As far as trails go - Duponte is beautiful but crowded, go early if that's your desired hike!
