Great spot!
We all enjoyed our stay and the location was great. We walked to the coffee shop and the restaurants, the playground and the old Jackson County courthouse (to walk all 105 steps!). We even strolled through the local Farmer's Market on Saturday morning and enjoyed that as well. Home is as pictured and was clean and comfortable. We would recommend it!
We absolutely loved our stay here. We all kept saying how at home we felt and would book here again in a heartbeat!

cute, cozy and convenient
This a cute and charming home very conveniently located JUST outside of the downtown area. Walk a block or two and you are on the main shopping/dining street, yet the house feels very separate from all that.
It is well-stocked, has a roomy feel for a smallish place, ample parking, and just a comfortable, homey place to spend a few days.
The blackout curtains and plenty of full-length mirrors were much appreciated! I would recommend this to others, and would stay here again.
This was just what we needed for a special graduation weekend.

Meredith,
It's great to see you enjoyed all the local amenities our town has to offer. With any luck you will be able to visit in the fall and can see the mountains dressed in fall foliage.
Excellent location to walk into town, where there are wonderful restaurants and shops. Also a convenient location for hiking trails off the Blue Ridge Parkway, and to get to nearby lakes. The local park has Friday night concerts in the summer, which was a nice way to begin our stay.
