We would agree that the pictures really don't do this place justice. Each detail make you feel as if you've entered into a fairy tale. The views from both the living room and bedroom were outstanding. We loved waking up to an Instagram worthy view from bed each and every day. From the porch you will enjoy watching the wildlife including a massive turkey, who is rather social and may try holding a conversation with you. Communication with the hosts was outstanding. We decided to try the local recommended pizza place and can say it's fantastic- lots of choices including great salads. The deck will also easily accommodate a couples massage- enjoyed that while watching the sunset! You are close to everything including hiking, Mt. Mitchell, waterfalls, Biltmore and all that Ashland has to offer. Stop reading and book this 5 star experience now!
