Julia is a super host and her place is great -- especially if you love animals and want to be near downtown Asheville and yet a bit into a more rural setting. I lived in Asheville so knew ahead of time that Julia's place was in a good location. There is a lovely place for short hikes that is just a bit down the road. I particularly love walking along streams, which is what you have at this site. I already miss the goat's great faces and Woody's greatings (Julia's dog).
