This home is gracious and beautiful in its own right, and it is in a beautiful location with sweeping views of other mountains and the valley below. Indoors, everything worked well, including the air conditioning, refrigeration, and water system. Family members greatly enjoyed the ability for all of us to gather in the spacious, interconnected kitchen, dining room, and great room areas. The relative isolation of the property helped us bond together as a group, while the proximity to the greater Asheville area made it possible for family members to shop, sightsee, and learn about the community. Perhaps the greatest hit was the outdoor fireplace which, even in hot summer weather, was a favorite gathering place.
