the sound of the river could not possible be more relaxing. every morning I opened the sliding glass doors in the living room that peer out into the forest and over the stream that runs near the home. the sound of the waterfall coming through the house create such a feeling of relaxation. I worked the whole week in the mornings and spent the afternoons exploring Asheville and hiking trails. the home is very clean in its design and decorations. I would like to experience it in the winter as well. just a very perfect experience.
