Prepare to relax instantly upon arrival. We arrived during 4th of July week in the middle of the pandemic and felt we couldn't have made a better decision renting in the Asheville area and specifically Royal Pines Cabin! The Area gets the whole distancing concept and we felt safe everywhere we went. The Airport area nearby has more of the newer chain style shopping like Aldi, Walmart for groceries, ABC , stores and fast food while a stones throw away. The Rocky's Hot chicken at the bottom of Royal Pines has THE absolute best chicken I have ever had and they Deliver! So many things to do in Asheville you could not cover everything in a week! A drive along the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway is a must! The rental itself is such a great value for the million dollar view you get. We just sat out staring at the view until dark instead of watching TV or going out. 4th of July weekend you get 20 different fireworks displays from the comfort of your deck and Hot Tub.
