Our trip to Asheville had us visiting Sliding Rock as well as Mt. Mitchell (both under an hour away in opposite directions). It is uncanny how 'away from it all' Luxury Mountaintop feels. At the same time, getting to the best places in downtown Asheville is 10-15 minutes. We even picked up dinner one night and it was still plenty hot by the time we got back.
The host communication is quick, the views are spectacular, and the wildlife we spotted was rewarding. The space is well-laid out, clean, and it is very quiet at night. My wife and I spared one day just to stay at home to read on the deck.
This was such a fun and relaxing trip. Thank you, Mitch!
