Our stay at Asheville Serenity for three days was so peaceful and relaxing. This was a family visit with my niece and her two kiddos, 6 yrs. & 8 yrs. The house is big enough for everyone to spread out or come together when inside and a huge property when outside. We enjoyed having lunch outside on the patio with a backdrop of bamboo and the woods all around you. I slept in the lower level master and the bed & pillows were perfect!
Michael was a wonderful host and responded very quickly. He gave us many suggestions of things to do right in the gated golf community. There's a small lake, walking trails, waterfalls along with breathtaking views within the community. Lakeview Putt & Play located on Hendersonville Rd. was also close. It was a fun evening for a round of 18 holes of minature golf and virtual reality gaming with over 65 choices.
Michael also sent a list of the restaurants, grocery and activities outside of the community. We enjoyed Farenheit Pizza and Brewhouse on Lee St. (they had a cute outside area, but I chose to carryout). There's also a cute brunch/lunch place, Ivory Road Cafe & Kitchen, which is located within 4-5 min. from the house on Brevard Rd. It's up on a hillside surrounded by trees. They have covered porch seating, open seating in an area at the end of the parking lot and side property along with inside seating. The lavendar ice tea was amazing!
We also took a drive to Lake Lure, NC (35 miles around 45 minutes) and went swimming @ the beach which included two large water slides. This area also includes Chimney Rock State Park and the Flower Bridge.
