This lovely home is very comfortable and clean. Our host was helpful in suggesting area restaurants, attractions and even a local spa/salon. Ladies, Amber at Roots massage is Amazing!
The home is close to grocery, friendly neighboring towns, parks and dog parks. We frequented the Silo restaurant, Bold Rock Cider and Pisgah National Forest. Explored many waterfalls, biking areas, historic walking tours and Skytop Apple Orchard. The nearly 2 months flew by. The area has much to offer, we had so much fun!!!

The perfect getaway!
The property was in a nice quiet area, while still having access to all necessary places. We did a ton of things around Horseshoe/Asheville area. Easy to get around. The house was nice and clean and stocked with everything needed to feel comfortable. I love that they provide almost all necessary items, kitchen is fully stocked, and backups to everything (pillows, blankets, trash bags, detergent, etc). The view of the mountains was always a nice perk when we looked out the window. Plenty of space for our family. We had such a pleasant experience, we would definitely stay again!
