While I would suggest a 4WD in the winter due to being on a gravel/dirt road at the top of a mountain, the home is private, in a beautiful setting, and pet friendly. The plumbing in the bathroom was a little clunky, but nothing that took away from our stay! The furniture was comfy with plenty of room when our daughter and her boyfriend came to spend a couple of hours with us. Once you drive down off of the mountain it is really only a few miles from most things we did in Asheville. Very convenient in that regard! Everything was super clean inside the unit as well!
