Lori was in excellent communication with me the whole time, meeting me at the cabin just five minutes after I arrived. The house was really cute, equipped with two skylights, two fireplaces, a Sleep Number bed, television, kitchen and laundry facilities. Plus a lovely stained glass piece that hung between the bedroom and living room.

My fiancé and I met with a few challenges while there, namely the lack of movie channels among the vast amount of direct TV stations. However, we managed to find a good one called Audience that I hadn't heard about before, and apparently, neither had our hosts. We found a sampling of different local beers in the fridge but even though the mason jar glasses supplied were lovely, there were no wine glasses for anyone with a preference for the vineyard libation (like us!). The bed was good for experimenting with our individual firmness desires, but would have been more comfortable with less puffy pillows and a king size. The coffee choices, as well as teas they provided were satisfying, however there was no cream in the fridge and the tiny half-and-half containers they provided were rather old and some too hardened to use. I didn't mind throwing the linens, trash and recycling into containers or outside in a receptacle, nor washing the dishes I used, but would have preferred if those tasks had been optional instead of required since we were paying a cleaning fee on top of the rental price.

All in all, we enjoyed our stay at Lori and Lizzie's cabin in the heart of Asheville, especially appreciating the delicious rum cake they left for us.
