Relax by the creek. 10 Min. to West Asheville
RV by the creek. 125' from the house in the blueberry patch. Horse pasture across creek. Portable fire pit stocked with wood. Camp chairs and table. Your own little world to explore Asheville from. When not singing or playing tennis am usually around gardening. My wife, Laura is a hike leader and has a counseling practice. Parking leaves a bit of a stroll to the RV and we have a luggage-carrying wagon to help. Basically one bed, but dinette can fold down to make a small additional bed.
