Nick and Sheila are outstanding hosts. There is absolutely nothing about which we could complain concerning our stay. My wife and I stayed with our two kiddos at their airBNB (ages 6&9) for a week.
The location itself is gorgeous! It’s quiet and remote and there is a nice fenced-in yard where the kids could play. We also loved using the fire pit in the evenings. The apartment was super clean and no detail was missed! We brought a crock pot along to have meals slowly cooking while we hiked, but they did provide means in the kitchenette for food prep as well. It was the perfect home-base during our stay.
The guide Nick provided gave great options for what to do, where to hike, where to find good food and brews, etc. They are right by the Bent Creek Experimental Forest, the NC Arboretum & the Blue Ridge Parkway, giving loads of nearby options for outdoors adventures. Downtown Asheville is a short drive away as well, so while it’s set off the main drag, you’re still close to everything.
We would highly recommend their place for anyone traveling to the area — you will not regret it!
