I had such a wonderful stay with Norma and Jim -- and Casper too! Norma and Jim were wonderful hosts, so warm and welcoming, and breakfasts were amazing. The room was beautiful -- a super comfy bed with tons of pillows and soft sheets, and flower arrangements and art everywhere. Norma thought of all the details to makes sure I had everything I needed - like filtered water and tea set out for me in the room, extra blankets and good heating for when I got cold, and a book she put together with restaurant recommendations and places to see in Asheville. Also, the adjoining Zen garden room was truly special. The house is super close to downtown Asheville, and a variety of places to hike and be in nature are also very close -- many within a 5 -12 minute radius. This was a perfect place for my stay in Asheville! Also Casper is delightful.
