Synes godt om: Rengøring
Rough edges
First, the good: the home is thoughtfully renovated and well-furnished with a very comfortable bed. It’s also close to town if that is the reason you are staying, and the drive is easy.
The not-so-good: this is not really a “retreat.” What isn’t clear from the listing is that this house is probably the closest you can get to I-40 within the circled area. While the house looks like a treehouse in the woods, there was no possibility of enjoying a morning cup of coffee on the porch without feeling like we were basically at a rest area on the highway. The noise is also noticeable inside, too, though definitely considerably dampened. We were attending an event in Black Mountain and had hoped to find a relaxing home to stay in, but this wasn’t what we’d had in mind due to the noise.
Additionally, the primary bedroom lacks privacy: the only window coverings are sheer net curtains. In a room that faces the street, this made me uncomfortable, not to mention it would have been nice to have more room darkening for sleep purposes.
Overall, it was a clean home proximate to town with a comfortable bed, but we ended up leaving a night early because our home is more peaceful and private.
