The best thing about this home is the location. You can walk or bike to Carrier and French Broad River parks, which link to the greenway, and to the restaurants in West Asheville. If you want to be able to bike into the city, especially the river arts district, this is a great choice. For those traveling with dogs, there is an amazing dog park close by, which has separate spaces for small and larger dogs. The velodrome is less than a mile away and there is a dog-friendly cafe with outdoor creek-side seating and live music a short walk from the house. The host was incredibly helpful, recommending activities and hikes in the area and checking in to make sure everything was going well. If it weren't for his advice, we would not have brought our bikes and that was the best part of the trip.
