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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. The pictures don’t do justice to how cute, clean and comfortable the rental actually is. We had weekend company during our stay and they had the second floor to use as their suite. There was plenty of room for all of us. Although the property is an easy walk to town, it is tucked away on a quiet lot. We will definitely stay here again!
