We loved our stay at Richard’s place! Beautiful and clean house and it’s in a great location! 10-15 minute drive from downtown which is perfect especially if you want to be in a quieter area. We went hiking every day and it was nice to relax in the hot tub at the end of the day. We visited/hiked DuPont State Forest (5 waterfalls - day one), Lookout Mountain (day two), Catawba Falls (day two), Hawksbill Rock (day two), Skinny Dip Falls (day three), and Black Balsam Knob (day three). All hikes were located 40 min-1 hour from Richard’s place and the ones we did within the same day were pretty close to each other. There are also so many other hikes close to the area that Richard had included in the house manual/description. Definitely would recommend staying at Richard’s place!
