As you walk down the path to the basement door, there is a lovely green and white garden along the way. I had a slight confusion about the keypad but figured it out farily soon..it had 2 numbers on each button and I finally got that I needed to push the number a bit to the side..it was lovely, coffee was delicious, very quiet , great location...the bathroom is shared and has 2 doors ..one from the hall and one from the master..the bath is gorgeous and well supplied..one of the best i have stayed in...easy walk to the biltmore village and we ate so many meals at the Corner Kitchen..very comfy stay..
