We had a wonderful experience in this secluded home with its comfort and upscale accommodations. We appreciated the swift responses to our communications also. My wife and I were here with our teenage daughter to visit Asheville and Biltmore. Asheville is indeed walkable from the house, but one needs to be aware of traffic as others have reported. It took us a long time to find the entrance to Biltmore, so if you plan to visit that, ask Mary or Roger!!!
