We had a great stay on the property! It was private, safe, and clean. Our pup had a great time in the backyard. The house is about a 12 minute drive to Asheville along with other restaurants and bars even closer in West Asheville. There's a book in the house that has their local recommendations and we were grateful for those. If you bring a dog just remember to pack up sheets and blankets for them. Ps the house has plenty of spices, oil and cookware, just no aluminum foil or ziplocks, things like that. We would definitely return to this location if we visit Asheville again!
