The Owls Nest is such a treat! It's such a thoughtfully designed space. It's beautiful and incredibly well arranged for a studio space. The outdoor spaces are amazing. I basically spent all of my time on the screen porch. Gorgeous mountain view and a quick 10 minute drive to downtown, west Asheville and the River District. It's a great value given the amount of space inside and out, the location, and the fact that it's sparkling clean. While I didn't get the opportunity to meet the host, I had no reason to. Everything from check in to wifi was readily communicated. While we typically stay within walking distance to downtown, we're so glad we branched out. We'll be back!
