Lorrin's place exceeded my expectations, and I quickly added an extra day! Such a beautiful location overlooking Bent Creek. I spent most of my mornings/evenings hanging out on the back porch looking at the forest. My dog Izzy adored the fenced in yard, and it was great to have a safe place for her to zoom around and sniff. The house is so close to everything you want to see - Biltmore, the Parkway, and downtown Asheville (food!). Lorrin is super helpful/friendly and made lots of great recommendations (along with knowledge of wildlife in the area). The house is extremely clean, well-decorated, organized, and comfortable. Dog-friendly touches have been added, and I was glad that my new rescue dog did great with her thoughtful doggie additions (and decor safe for the pup!). It was a real joy to stay here. Being a solo traveler, I look for safe locations that feel cheerful and uplifting, and this place really made our week super special and fun. Highly recommended for hiking, biking, or just hanging out with your pup! Thank you to Lorrin!
