Caseys place is definitely close to some great restaurants and shops in west asheville off of haywood rd. Maybe a 15 minute drive to Biltmore and about 30 from a few good hikes! We also went downtown and had dinner and walled around, the house is pretty close, maybe a 5 minute drive. We really enjoyed walking to dinner each night. Try the tastee diner, right next door, or hop ice cream a short walk away!
