Ellen and George were great!! They greeted a few road weary travelers (me and three old college buddies) and their infectious energy and excitement pepped us right up. They generously gave us a bottle of wine, pita chips with hummus and had coffee machine all set up and ready. We ate the chips so fast they generously provided us with more!

Since we were four grown adults they brought in an extra sliding bed so we all had plenty of comfortable sleeping space. How nice!

Ellen gave us lots of great inside tips on Asheville and their neighborhood. She showed us their secret walkway to get lake access to the nearby beaver lake. Then she told us about a great neighborhood in town (South Slope) to try out the microbrew scene (which was a blast!). She also told us about a waterfall/swimming area nearby in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I couldn't say enough about how comfortable and welcoming the entire experience was! True southern hospitality! When I come back to visit Asheville I won't even think twice about where to stay.

p.s. Short and cheap Uber drives (10 mins and ~$9 to get into downtown)
