We came to Asheville in early June for a family wedding and so had the opportunity to compare our accommodations with those of other family members.
Some told of nice lodgings up a 'mountain' accessible only by a 1 lane gravel rd, others of being provided not so much as salt and pepper. One group was awakened by various barn yard creatures, another had poor communications with the host and a long complicated code for their lock. We personally got stuck on a 40 degree grade trying to back out of someone's driveway. It is the Smoky mountains after all.
We on the other hand were located centrally, midway between scheduled events and near a highway. Easy access off a flat road led into a gravel drive/ parking pad. The lock code was easy and specific to us.
The house is immaculate, charmingly appointed and very comfortable. The living area is more spacious than it appears in the photographs. When family came to visit us, 3 cars fit the driveway, 6 adults were comfortable on the porch and in the living area. Everyone was impressed with the charm of the place. The kitchen is well equipped, the 2 2/2 bathrooms very handy.
The easy access comes with a little street noise & the east facing master bedroom windows brought early morning sun. As older adults the cute furniture was a little low to the ground for us. That's it for the downside, no complaints.
The landscaping is very attractive and added a sense of privacy.
Malinda is a responsive and charming host with a comfortable and attractive retreat. Thanks so much,
