This place was so affordable and really convenient to all Asheville has to offer. The farthest we had to drive was to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and we did not drive for more than an hour there. It is about 8-10 minutes from downtown Asheville, and it is about 15-20 from some really cool outdoor adventures like Navitat zipline tours. It was very quiet, and we loved being able to bring the dogs on the trip.
