Julia was a terrific host. Communicated very well throughout. The location is wonderful. You get a sense that you're remote and private, yet are only 5 minutes from everything you could need, and 10 minutes from downtown. A great plus for us as cyclists was easy, close access to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The studio apartment was cozy and well furnished. Felt completely private, even though Julia lives above. The goats and chickens (penned) on the property were a treat. Milo (her dog) was also wonderfully friendly and welcoming. We're already thinking about when we can come to stay again. Hopefully for a little longer this time.
