This was the perfect spot for what we were looking for. The cabin is just 3 miles outside of Asheville, but located in a mountain community that's very quiet and peaceful. We had multiple bear sightings from the deck! And it's still pretty affordable to Uber into Asheville and hit some breweries.
One note I didn't see anyone else mention: We noticed an 8-10 degree temperature drop and increase in breeze going from the city up to the cabin. If you want to sit on the deck in the morning, I'd recommend packing some warmer clothes even in the summer.
