Gretchen's place was comfy, clean, and beautiful. She has a very friendly golden retriever that is constantly at her heals. She provided coffee in the morning as well as a bedroom and front door key for our use to come and go as we pleased. She had a window AC unit in the bedroom which I did not find necessary to use as the ceiling fan kept the room cool for our mid May stay. Gretchen gave us recommendations on places/restaurants to visit based on our needs. Her place was homey and quaint and I would definitely recommend staying here for your visit in Asheville.
