I had a lovely Thanksgiving stay at Laura’s. The room is the bottom half of a private house, with its own terrace, entrance, and parking. It’s nicely equipped, with plenty of coffee, great towels and blankets, and, unfortunately, free peanuts. The bed is nice and comfortable, big enough for two (but there isn’t room for a second bed or crib). It’ also about 200 yards from great pizza and beer, and just a tiny bit further gets you to the center of Asheville. In other words, the best of both worlds: complete quiet for sleeping, easy walking distance to the buzz of downtown. Highly recommended.
