If you thought the picture of this place sold you, it will exceed your expectations. Mary's place is the perfect little retreat. We almost didn't want to leave the room some mornings. A lot of detail went into this space and you can tell. Super clean and that shower.... I'm sure it is every guest's favorite. Mary was also very responsive and provided a list of recommendations for food and other things that was very helpful! I've wanted to visit Asheville for a while and I think Mary's place is the perfect location. We were about an hour drive to most of the hiking we wanted to do but also only a few minutes from downtown so we could go out in the evenings. All in all, we can't say enough good things!
