We stayed for a long weekend while my daughter had a lacrosse tournament in Asheville. We were able to have a delicious breakfast each morning, swim in the pool, and even paddle boarded one afternoon. It was a great weekend. The view from a lakeside room is awesome!

This beautiful community had much to offer with free parking as well as a buffet breakfast. Staff was excellent. A large swimming pool and pickleball courts, and the ability to take walks all around the large lake filled with gardens was ultra/desirable. Playgrounds for the kids looked nice. A great space for conferences or time with family or friends. Numerous wedding venues throughout. Several choices to eat on the property and many other restaurants nearby
