our family of four loved staying here! very clean and comfortable. perfectly situated for all our excursions (avl, black mountain, biltmore, blue ridge parkway, catawba falls, etc.). the babbling river outside and cozy furnishings made for a peaceful retreat at the end of a busy day exploring the area. homemade cookies awaited us when we arrived (!!), "check in" couldn't have been easier and christine is such a kind, thoughtful and attentive host. can't wait to come back!
