Summary: This is the perfect place to stay to explore: Asheville to Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Bat Cave, Hendersonville and everything in between. But it’s so much more… You can literally walk out the door and hike to the top of Bearwallow Mountain (about 3 hours later!). This is a great place for hikers, even just the “neighborhood loop” was great. It has access to some older trails that are “off the beaten path” but still easy to follow. The house is charming and well maintained. The native wildflower garden is beautiful. We watched the garden change through three seasons and all were gorgeous. The separate space downstairs was great when we had visitors. Or just needed some quiet time. We enjoyed the firepit (outside) and cozy gas fireplace (inside). The house was very comfortable for our stay from June - October. And that porch! With that view! A perfect spot to watch the seasons change. And watch the bears and squirrels come to steal the apples - but we enjoyed what they left behind. Stay here - you’ll love it.
