Soak up the mountain view and enjoy being just 20 mins to Asheville, 20 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Great Smokey Mtns less than an hour away. You will love all the outdoor adventure and great spots to eat in this area! The space HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES: \*20 minute drive to Asheville \*15 minute walk to local brewery and a few restaurants. \*20 mins to the Blue Ridge Parkway and outdoor activities. \*Less than an hour from the Great Smokey Mountains \*Amazing mtn view from private patio ABOUT THE SPACE: \*1 normal sized vehicle allowed; no oversized vans or trucks. \*1300 sq ft 1 bedroom/1 bath apartment with full kitchen; living area \*HD smart tv \*Fully equipped bathroom with a walk in shower, plus a blow dryer. \*AC in apartment must but used during warm season; this is not an apartment where windows are used for cooling during the warm season.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITY: \*The private patio off the apartment is spacious with outdoor seating for lounging and eating. There is also an outdoor fire pit. Wood is available. \*You have access to the \`Secret Garden\` at the top of the property (signs will guide you). This is a tiered garden that my parents created before \`green\` was even thought of.
