We loved our week-long stay in this wonderful house! It is very spacious, clean, has tons of natural light, well-equipped and nicely decorated. It had everything we needed and even more! This tranquil, elevated location is perfect for a cool-down break from summer heat. Remote but in a safe gated neighborhood; the road is sometimes steep and curvy but in great condition, all asphalt. Internet worked very well, but not every cell phone got signal there (Verizon worked fine)
The house is within 1 hour driving from major attractions like Grandfather Mountain, Mt. Mitchell, Linville Falls and Linville Gorge, and just above 1 h to Ashville. Little Switzerland resort is 15 minutes away, and kid's favorite Emerald Village is less than 10 minutes drive. About 1 hour roundtrip hike right from the front door to beautiful Crabtree Falls !
Note: there is no door to separate basement from the main level living space, and obviously no door to the loft, so any noise travels from bottom level to top, and any sound can be heard between the loft and the bedroom below. It was not a problem for our small party, but might be a problem for a larger group with young children.
The owner was easy to communicate and always responded immediately to answer our questions.
