Cindy's place is pretty close to some cool spots- breweries, downtown, a music venue lots to do near her house. Biltmore Estate was also very close. She has a super cute and friendly dog who doesn't mind a little attention. :) Cindy had some great suggestions for hikes and knows the area very well. Easy to get in to her house no problems during our stay. She also has a tv room to relax and unwind in after a long day.
