Emilie and her husband are excellent hosts. They were warm and welcoming to their newly decorated home. We arrived an hour early and Emilie was very nice to let us check in early when our 1yo toddler needed her nap after a 2 hour car ride. It really helped and we didn’t need to deal with a cranky toddler.
My 5yo and 1yo kids loved the playhouse and the swings. Emilie made sure all the baby stuff are there for us (high chair, bath tub, booster seat, swings, pack and play, kids utensils, changing pad). There are board games that adults and kid enjoy (Asheville-opoly!).
In terms of the house, it’s very tastefully decorated and clean. The beds are comfortable. The location is convenient. It is only 15min walk from downtown where the shops and restaurants are located, and <5min walk from Trader Joe, Whole Foods and Harris Teeter.
If I really have to suggest one thing to improve, it’d be to add curtains in the bedrooms (there are blinds now). My kids go to bed quite early (before 7:30p) and it would be easier for them to fall asleep if the rooms are darker. However, it didnt matter to my husband and I when we went to bed after 9:30p.
Overall, it’s a 5/5 experience and I’d stay here again next time I visit Asheville.
