As advertised this did seem to be a very Asheville stay very naturey and rustic. Great location we were about 15-20 mins from down town. However if you want to hike the closest falls hike was 30 mins away (catawba falls). This place is quaint but spacious. It does use a pump water system which took getting used to but good pressure and heat. The hosts were quick to respond and very nice. We did encounter a few other house guests (spiders) on our stay but may have been due to the hard rain prior to our stay.
