Chris's place is a great location to both downtown Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway if you are looking to hike or just drive it. Checking in and out was a breeze and we appreciated the suggestions for restuarants and breweries. We spent most of our trip hiking so it was nice to have the mini fridge to store food for breakfast and lunch to take in the mountains with us. Everything was very clean and met all our needs for a long weekend stay. Overall a great stay.
