Amy's home was very relaxing and the location is close to many local hiking trails, the Blue Ridge Parkway, WNC Nature Center, and downtown Avl. From Amy's home you can see the Swannanoa river, and the neighbors are friendly. Head's up though: summer is prime black bear season and I encountered several during my stay. So be cautious if taking evening walks around the neighborhood. The guest bedroom had all I needed for a month-long stay and was simple and comfortable- just what I was looking for. There was also ample kitchen space in the cupboards and fridge for my groceries. Amy's kitchen is fully stocked and is comfortable for those who prefer to cook their own meals. Amy herself is very kind and hospitable, and has a wealth of local knowledge. I would stay here again~
