We (3 visitors total) stayed at Ryan’s for 3 nights, and it was a tremendous experience. Ryan and his family are terrific—Ryan is willing to field questions pre-stay and help address issues as needed during the stay while still respecting guests’ privacy. The suite is spacious and comfortable, beds are terrific, and having multiple refrigerators in the unit is a plus. The views of downtown Asheville and the hills in the background (especially at night/sunset) are amazing. The animals on property (goats, as mentioned, and we also saw a turkey) were a treat to see. One brief note on walkability—the property is halfway up the mountain, and about 3/4ths of a mile from the eastern edge of downtown Asheville. Walking from the property to downtown is easy enough, but the climb back gets quite steep near the property. Multiple times, we ended up walking from the property to our destination downtown, then Ubering back, but each individual/group will need to make up their own minds on that.
Highly recommend the suite.
