We very much enjoyed staying at Marin's. We have a toddler son and he absolutely loved going outside to visit with the chickens and the kitties. The home itself was very clean and cozy. We loved the convenience of having the tea and coffee maker there - it was on the colder side that weekend so the hot tea was much appreciated! The location is in a quiet neighborhood, close to the highway so an easy drive to downtown or wherever you'd like to go in Asheville. We didn't get to meet Marin but she was good at getting back to us quickly.
