What a lovely spot and a great bargain for the Asheville area. The NC Arboretum was right around the corner (make sure you ask at the gate for trails map; signage could be a bit better but trails are lovely), the Aville Outlets were just a couple miles in the other direction for a bit of retail therapy, the home is in a lovely, walkable neighborhood AND it has a large pool and hot tub?! Just the medicine we needed. The house is very comfy, cozy & clean with plenty of room for multiple people to spread out a bit. Everything you need for a lovely visit is there or nearby if you are not in the mood for the downtown crowds. I also really enjoyed my meal at Pad Thai.
And if you do enjoy walking/exploring, when you aren't floating in the pool, look on your map software for the Bent Creek Community Park right there in your neighborhood. What a point of pride for the neighborhood. They have playground equipment and a pump track for the kiddos, and if you poke around a bit you will see there are also several trails to explore there which made for a happy doggo.
Thank you so much for just the change of scenery we needed, Amanda. Lovely home.
