Julia's eco-cottage is very comfortable and is in a beautiful spot. It's about 10 minutes from downtown, out in the mountains. Julia is easy-going and friendly, while still giving you your privacy and space. She had some great suggestions for nearby hikes. We took the hike up to a lookout over the valley near her house. It was a great, brisk hike, and our dog could walk off-leash, which was super fun.

The studio has a couch, a TV set up with Roku and whatnot (although we never watched it, we were too busy enjoying our surroundings and exploring Asheville), and wi-fi. It has a kitchenette, though we didn't use that either because there are so many incredible restaurants in Asheville, we basically ate our way through the city. The studio is well heated, so we were nice and cozy.

We really enjoyed our weekend at Julia's, and would definitely recommend it to others looking for a romantic getaway.
