My wife and I absolutely loved our time staying in this home. (Thank you Paula and John!)
As the title states, this home feels very secluded, but is conveniently located. We like to have a trip where we venture out almost every day, but also like to spend time enjoying the house and the beauty it provides. With about a 20 minute drive to South Asheville, we found the location to be perfect. For those looking to do some hiking, we were able to get to spots in the Pisgah Forest within 45 minutes to an hour. The house is also not far from Arden, where there are tons of great take out food options.
The homeowners have also ensured that you will have everything you need while staying. We found the items that they have available, beyond the usual cookware, etc., were very thoughtful and saved us a trip to the store on at least one occasion. Although it was only two of us, we also felt that the home is spacious enough for a larger group.
Most impressive, however, was the relaxation options in the back yard. While the home does not have a huge grassy area, it is perfect for people who want to sit and enjoy the natural beauty of North Carolina. From the shaded hammock and swing on the bottom level, up to the stunning views from the upper decks, we enjoyed this part of the house the most. We also loved that the large windows allowed us the same views from inside the home as well. This was the best part of waking up each day in the upstairs bedroom.
We would highly recommend staying here for your next Asheville adventure.
