We just got home from a wonderful long weekend getaway at Karen's. The house is beautiful and has amazing views of the mountains. The house is much larger than we even expected and decorated so well and comfortably. The kitchen is large and made cooking for our group of 5 easy. Our first evening we were treated to the mama bear and her 3 cubs visiting the yard. We feel so lucky to have had this experience. The location is so convenient to both Asheville and the Blue Ridge Parkway for hiking. I would highly recommend this property and we will definitely be back!! We were sad to leave it was so lovely and peaceful.
