I spent two nights at Peter & Allison's house, and even though I did not get a chance to see them except briefly, I loved my stay. It really is a natural retreat, not easy to find without GPS, but only a few minutes away from anything urban you need (especially the wonderful Tupelo Honey Café for dinner and Green Sage Café for lunch just a little bit up Hendersonville Road), I loved sipping my coffee on the front porch overlooking two giant trees bustling with songbirds and squirrels in the morning. Speaking of which, it is a nice touch that the hosts leave you not only coffee with the coffee maker, but also lots of tea and sugar and stirrers . I an a very light sleeper, but I slept well on a very comfortable bed, and the neighborhood is of course extremely quiet. It is nice to have your own private bathroom next door, the towels are fluffy and toiletries are high-quality (as much as this guy can gauge…). Good hot shower too.
This was a good base for hiking in the mountains in the morning and driving into town in the afternoon, and I hope to be back one day!
