This is truly a wonderful gem. The home was nicely appointed and immaculate. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything I needed. You’re close to both Asheville AND Weaverville. TV had a bunch of terrific selections and the sign in to internet was easy. I would stay in this spot on every visit. Was just minutes from relatives in Woodfin. Super value.

Great house and location! Close to Asheville and Weaverville. House is clean, comfortable and well equipped with what you need. My husband and I stayed for two weeks between house closings and we couldn’t have picked a better place!

Ladies Week
This was the perfect home for a small gathering of three generations of women in my family. Everything being on one level, as well as the simpler backdoor access, proved very helpful for those of us with limited mobility. There were lots of personal touches that made us feel at home, coffee supplies, books and puzzles, welcoming furniture. Grocery stores, UNCA, multiple small towns to explore, are all within a few minutes and the drive is beautiful. The neighbors were friendly and quiet, with almost zero traffic close to the house. We're all looking forward to our next visit to the Asheville area.
