Seated in a quiet neighborhood off the main road leading into town, this home is the perfect location for cyclists wanting quick access to both downtown routes and mountainous loops. Only 10 minutes to Pisgah National Forest and 20 minutes to Dupont State Forest offering hundreds of miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking. An open front porch provides scenic views of the mountains and beautiful sunsets. It also has a detached storage space containing a bike rack and room for all your gear.

We had a beautiful vacation! The home was very clean, neat and uncluttered. The front porch was perfect to relax on and enjoy a glass of wine, which we did most evenings. The hosts, Rick and Denise were very helpful with hikes and places to see as they are locals and enjoy the outdoors as we do. We even saw the resident white squirrels on the property!

Very clean, beautiful property, very well maintained with attention to detail and equipped with all one can ask for, in a quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed watching the birds and the squirrels, both white and grey, descend from the oak tree. Highly recommended, especially during the fall.

Rick and Denise are a lovely couple. They even gave me gluten free muffins and brownies, a colorful plant along with birthday wishes for my birthday. Very clean, beautifully decorated and the weather was perfect. They're available at a moments notice for any questions. A perfect stay in the mountains!

It was so great we came back for a second time! We've stayed at 15-20 VRBO's in the last 5 years and this one was the only one we loved enough to come back for a second time. Every thing is perfect: the house is beautifully decorated, well-stocked, and immaculately clean. The hosts are friendly and accommodating. The yard is beautifully maintained, the neighborhood is peaceful, and the location is convenient to downtown. Really, just great all around!

Great Place!

Me and my family loved staying at this property, it was close to downtown and the house was very cozy and clean. Beautiful scenery and it had everything we needed for a nice long weekend. The blueberry muffins that were provided was a great touch and much appreciated! I wish it had been more private as the construction next door was a bit bothersome, but overall it was a great location.
