The stay at Richard's passive solar house was beyond anything we expected—you won't want to leave! We had excellent communication and quick responses leading up to the trip; when we arrived our hosts briefly met us and made us feel right at home. The detail put into the house left us in awe—from building the net-zero house itself to the gorgeous handmade furniture. We had everything we needed; clean sheets, comfortable beds, appliances, and cookware (even spices for cooking). The location is super convenient; a short drive from downtown Asheville. Relaxing in the hot tub surrounded by a star-speckled treeline was a cherry on top. We were grateful to be the first guests and will 100% be back on the next trip to Asheville.
