Rodney and his wife were very pleasant and welcomed us on arrival. The accommodation is attached to their own bungalow but quite private with a door that locks from the guests side. You need a car to get to Asheville and to go on hikes but then you would always need a car in the US. Rodney hopes to purchase a new mattress soon as a few guests, inc myself, found the existing one uncomfortable. There is a sofabed (new) which I used and was better. The kitchen had most things for 2 people but you would need to purchase all condiments etc if cooking for yourself. Rodney, I'm sure would help and advise if asked. He was very kind.
