LOCATION:
The Farmhouse Getaway was designed as a turnkey experience for vacationing travelers who want to be centrally located, with access to both regional, as well as, local experiences. Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Mt Mitchel, the Smokies, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are in easy striking distance. But many who come find that the local experience of Black Mountain-Montreat are the surprise. Black Mountain has a growing reputation as an outdoor recreation mecca with a bustling town center that supports year round tourism and is the most visited Asheville satellite (per capita) in the region, while nearby Montreat is a lovely mountain village surrounded by ranges with some of the most pristine back country hiking and mountain biking trails in WNC.

DUAL ATTACHED TOWNHOMES
Is this a dual townhome and is there shared space, such as a shared hot tub/private deck?
Yes and no. Yes, it is a duel townhome floorplan, but no, there is no shared space or overlap between the two units. Privacy was one of the highest values behind the design.
The Farmhouse Getaway and the adjoining townhome function like two attached single family homes with separate and private entrances, separate and private parking, separate and private decks with hot tubs, but the two units are connected by a soundproof center wall. So the units are attached, but there is no shared space or overlap.
OUTDOOR SPACE
The Farmhouse outdoor living space includes a hot tub patio and firepit area, which is not shared space, and is contained within the boundaries of the Farmhouse backyard fence.
There is a wall and a fence that separates the two units physically, as well as, visually, so there is no overlap. In other words, you can't see into the other unit's deck space.
ARRIVAL....
I love meeting guests. Just text and I'll be glad to meet you. Simultaneously I'm happy to let you escape. I'm as available as you'd like me to be. Black Mountain/Montreat is home, and I'm available to share recommendations or troubleshoot a problem.
BLACK MOUNTAIN....
has it's own vibe, sort of a combination of Asheville with more traditional small town elements. South Ridgeway Ave is three blocks from the heart of town, so the entire stay can be enjoyed on foot.
Parking...
If you'd rather drive than walk the few blocks to Cherry St. there is usually plenty of parking on the side streets. At busier times when parking is dense, there are two parking lot areas for this problem. The lot in between the Trailhead Restaurant and the Dripolator Coffee House on W.State St. and the lot in front of the Fire and Police station on E. State St. usually have spaces available. Parking is free throughout Black Mountain.
