Very peaceful, comfortable, and quiet. The couple running it are friendly, helpful, and always available when yoy need them, yet give you your space to live at the same time without being nosy or intrusive. Clean comfortable rooms, 7 minute walk to a Wal-Mart and a convenience store across the street. Also only a couple minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and less than 10 min from Mill Mountain Zoo and star. Convenient, clean, bug free, quiet, safe, comfortable, and friendly!
