Spacious custom house in a private woodsy location about 20 minutes from Ashville, Biltmore and the parkway. Large supermarket 10 mins away on the main road. Enjoyed extensive DVD library for all ages. Good communications with host. We cook a lot on trips so for us the kitchen lacked decent cooking implements; needs more plates, utensils and drink ware- but we managed. Weather was humid during our stay and house was musty and damp. The AC thermostat is in a lock box so I had to call the host to come over for an adjustment. Concern for lack of fire egress in the downstairs bedroom. We loved Ashville-recommend The Black Balsam hike , Biltmore, Luella's BarbBQ and downtown Ashville.
