This property exceeded our expectations. First off, the pictures are accurate in terms of the animals - we did indeed see the horses and donkeys every single day and they were beautiful, so if you are wanting that experience, you will get it. Our family loved it.
Beyond that, this property is perfectly located if your goal is to not just visit Asheville but also see the many surrounding sights - ie. the many waterfalls and hiking trails. The home is close to Hendersonville, accessible by easy paved roads, and does NOT require you to navigate any tricky mountain switchbacks. The home is also BIG - with plenty of room to relax.
It's about 25-30 minutes to Asheville, 35 minutes to Pigsah Natl Forest (Sliding Rock, Looking Glass Falls, etc), 25 minutes to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure, and within an hour or less of many other fun stuff (Dupont, Brevard, etc).
The owner Cody is excellent with communication and there is even a garage you can park your vehicle inside.
All in all this was a real WINNER. Thanks!
