We greatly enjoyed our stay at Bart's home over the July 4th holiday. While it is a short 10 minute drive away from the action downtown, it was nice to be away from the crowds where we could enjoy peace and quiet. While we didn't have an opportunity to take advantage of the location, it is remarkably close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our only concern was that our cell phones didn't have a signal there (AT&T), but my family's Verizon phones worked fine. The proximity to grocery stores, including TJ's, was nice. We will certainly consider staying here again for our next trip to Asheville.
