This place is the perfect size and location for a mountain getaway! It's located right next to the animal haven; we were slightly concerned about the animals being loud in the mornings, but we never heard them, only saw them. The house is on the smaller side, but that's all we needed because we were gone all day. We were a 30 minute or under drive from Catawba Falls, Wildcat Rock Trail, Craven Gap Trail, and Warren Wilson (trailhead at Owen Park). We were also a 15 minute drive to downtown Asheville. Our only issue was that we couldn't find Ubers, but we also did not have high expectations that we'd find those. What a great trip, and what great hosts!
