We stayed here to view the Chihuly installation at the Biltmore. Great location, for that and the other places we went. The house was roomy and the sun porch was a lovely bonus. House and kitchen were well-supplied with comfortable and useful items. Cozy towels and comfy mattresses, for example. The steps up to the door are a bit steep, but the house is one-story, so no more steps after that! I've stayed in a lot of places in the NC mountains, but this was my first time in Arden. The location is fantastic. Also recommend 12 Bones Smokehouse if you like BBQ!
