Description
Hello! My name is Ryan, I live on a beautiful 27 acre piece of paradise located in the heart of the blue ridge Appalachian mountains only 30 min from Asheville 10 min from the wonderful historic town of Marshall, 20 mins to Hot Springs and the Appalachian Trail. The land is private, quite, breathtaking, and has a raging creek with waterfalls, swimming holes, hiking trails and rock bluffs. I am a 32 year old professional drummer who is deeply passionate about wilderness and eco-developing this piece of land into a sustainable oasis. ALL people are welcomed equally. Zero judgement for race, religion or gender preferences.

Help
Hello! Looking for help with a variety of tasks such as gardening,landscaping,trail building,cleanup of land and home. I could also use help with any kind of construction including earth building. I am only one person plus an awesome dog so I would love some extra help out here :) I am flexible on finding projects that fit your interest and strengths and am open to an open schedule. Things are laid back here and you will be respected and appreciated. I am open to your creative inputs and directions. I will not order you to do anything I just want to develop good relations with yall and be kind to each other. I am a Vegan and would love to keep meals focused in this direction although I will not judge you at all for your diet preferences and am totally ok with you adding what you like with your meals.
PLEASE include any links to social media in your message, I prefer to know a bit more about guests before having them out. Thank you :)

Accommodation
You have the choice of staying in a private bedroom inside my rustic cabin where I live as well ,or pitching a tent wherever you would like. The cabin is about 100 years old and has beautiful log and stonework and is cute and cozy. In the guestroom there is 2 queen beds. However it is pretty rustic and in need of some repairs. There is currently no hot water for showers although my favorite method is the creek :) also I use a composting toilet. there is wifi. I have a kitchen that can be utilized. I have a small well behaved dog and no other pets. well behaved dogs are welcomed. There has never been cats in this home and for allergy reasons I am going to keep it that way.
What else ...
Hiking in this area is phenomenal! The Appalachian Trail is only 15 min away as well as access to countless hikes within the expansive National Forest. Swimming holes and Waterfalls are plentiful here and nearby. Asheville is a vibrant city full of Music, art , great food, great people, and many healthy activities like Yoga.
