This is a very special spot for many reasons. The place itself is simple but very well designed and laid out, with two private bedrooms and an open sleeping area with triple bunks downstairs. The main bathroom is also downstairs, very modern and clean. Upstairs is a Great Room/Kitchen with a wall of windows facing out over the valley. The view is just pretty special. There is a wrap-around porch and outside fire pit.
But the best aspect of the place is the location. It is about 5 minutes to a shopping center but you'd never know it. The place has a true wilderness feel. While the access road is a bit steep, I had no trouble even with wet roads. And the payoff is solitude, quiet, and beauty. There is a rough trail from the fire pit which connects to the Mountains-to-the-Sea Trail, a worthy climb. Access to the Blue Ridge Parkway in 5 minutes away, and downtown Asheville maybe 12-15 min.
The place is spotless and Kristyn responded to all my questions via email within minutes.
One issue is TV--Reception is spotty and limited, even using streaming services. But who would want to watch a lot of TV when the view from the porch is so much better!
You can't do better in the Asheville area than here.
