We had a wonderful week-long stay! Beautiful little space for the two of us. The home felt really luxurious - especially the shower after hikes. Less than 1,000 steps (I counted) from the deck to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which connects to a trail just beyond. Dixiemarree let us know there's a little watering hole a couple miles farther on that trail, which was such a delight! Our dog loved splashing around! From the house, we did hear the shooting range and a bit of traffic on the parkway, but it didn't bother us. I'm the kind of person who would have been annoyed if it was constant, and it wasn't. The main house is also very close, so you'll interact with each other and will need to draw the curtains at night, but Dixiemarree was really great about giving us our space. I did get a hilariously adorable visit from her dog Willa while I was stretching on the deck one morning! We enjoyed going on hikes, cooking and grilling, and just hanging out and reading on the deck. We loved how close Asheville was - about 10 minutes to West Asheville or 15ish to downtown - but still felt really isolated. Most people in town wore masks and all the breweries we visited had awesome outdoor spaces. We miss it already and would definitely stay here again!
