We had a wonderful weekend stay and our host was very gracious and helpful to us as first-time visitors to Asheville. She helped us to get quickly oriented to the neighborhood as well as with ideas about things to see and do in Asheville. The accommodations were very comfortable and cozy and the location in West Asheville is in a quiet, wooded residential neighborhood with a distinct West Coast vibe that felt much like parts of Portland and Seattle. Our location was within easy walking distance (5-10 minutes) of several fabulous local restaurants and was an easy 10-minute drive from downtown Asheville. There is so much to see and do in Asheville and we could not think of a more beautiful and special place from which to explore it than the Quirky & Quaint Paris of the South. We certainly plan to visit again.
