Wonderful mini-vacation

The space was fabulous. Very clean and inviting new construction with all the essentials plus! The property is beautiful and very peaceful. The location was great. There is plenty to do nearby and you are less than 30 minutes from downtown Asheville. We often travel to the area to attend concerts around Asheville and will be checking for availability here the next time we are in the area.

Pet Friendly Garge Apartment

We were there for 4 nights & one thing that drew us to this rental was that they were pet friendly. I did verify prior to our stay that we could bring 2 pets. It was just the right size for us & our 2 digs. The location was just right, out in the woods with a view of a lake & close to many breweries which we frequented because we could take our dogs with us. Also close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. We will definitely be back
