Morning coffee on the deck with a picturesque view was wonderful! The duplex is easy to find, it’s @ the end of the road, A & B both has 2 parking spots each. There are a few EZ steps up to the door. There is an unlock/lock code provided. You walk into
The kitchen and family room combo, with large windows to
The view. (Be careful when pulling the drapes as the right side rod is missing. There is a cute and handy half bathroom off the family room. Kitchen is fully stocked. Only thing we needed that wasn’t there was Saran Wrap &/or foil. You will walk up a semi steep staircase to get to an upstairs seating area, once again with large windows and an amazing view, a full bathroom and nice size bedroom with plenty of closet space. The shower has great water pressure, but there is a dip on the floor that is very squeaky. It is not unsafe, just loud. The coffee pot is brand new and filters are provided. (I also left a large package for renters.) There are 3 AC units that work very well. Family room, upstairs sitting area & bedroom. There is also a fan in the bedroom, but we did not need it. Bed is comfortable, but I was ready to get up after 5-6 hours of sleep. Towels are fluffy and very nice. This is a pet friendly rental and you would never know any pets were there. The place is clean and welcoming for sure. Uber was very handy to take downtown and was approximately $13 each way + tip. There is a great grocery store with a Starbucks inside 5 minutes away. Walk down to the Shenandoah River which is completely private and amazing. Trail is right down the driveway of the blue house which is the owners house. Follow the signs “river”. A 5 monotreme or less walk. For those that may have any type of physical fitness issues, the climb back up may be difficult. For those that are able, be adventurous and walk the rocks along the river. It’s very enjoyable. Our small Yorkies had a blast down @ the river. The neighborhood is a little run down, but has so much potential and a lot of charm. Very safe to walk. The blueridge Parkway is less than 5 minutes away. Jump on and hit the hiking trails! There are so many. Craven is the closest, and it’s a beautiful, moderate 5 mile round trip hike. 2 great views. If you want something short, packed with a punch of a view @ the end, hike Craggy. Only .7 of a mile each way. It could be difficult for people that are not physically fit. Some steep areas, lots of rocks to climb up and mostly uneven areas. Highland Brewery is an absolute must! The outside seating is great. Also a food truck is available. Check out their website before going to plan some outdoor live music! Take your pups! Lots of beer choices and 3 wine choices. Absolute favorite restaurant was The Market Place which is downtown Asheville. Oldest restaurant in Asheville. Currently celebrating 40 years. The craft cocktails are spot on! The scallops are an absolute must! Pricey, but worth it! If you haven’t been to the Biltmore, it’s a must! I should mention this rental is private. Never heard the neighbors in the duplex next to us. Be smart about your surroundings. A bear crossed the yard in the middle of the day. If you have dogs, keep them on leash unless down @ the river during the day. I would absolutely stay @ any of Lindsays rentals again. Her communication is top notch and she’s a total sweetheart! Book one of Lindsays rentals today!! You will not regret it!
