As others have noted (and as Kara notes in her description), you can hear footsteps and faint voices from the home upstairs. As long as you're not too light of a sleeper, though, it shouldn't be a major problem. Other than that, this space is a great value and Kara is a gracious host while also respecting her guests' privacy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cheaper option with access to Asheville and Pisgah!
