I cannot say enough good things about this place. First off, Tom and Sue are great hosts. When we pulled up, they were doing some work on the house across the way but came over immediately to introduce themselves and give us a tour of the room.
They have done such an amazing job with the space, that you feel at home right away. The bed is cosy and inviting (and one of the best mattresses I've ever slept on). There is a cool map of the NC mountains and a self made wooden floor in the kitchen and bathroom, just giving the all around feeling that they put a lot of care and work into this space and it really is their home.
Bonus: there is also a wood burning fireplace and Tom sets the whole this up so even people who have no business trying to light a fire (me) can get a rather impressive fire going in under 10 minutes.
Just as they said, its close to downtown and the uber ride is under $10. We could always get an uber out here in under 10 minutes so that isn't a problem either. The neighborhood doesn't have many sidewalks, but it was nice to walk around and explore a bit. Nice golf course nearby with sprawling mountain views in the background.
Thank you so much Tom and Sue! Hope we get to stay again next time we are in Asheville.
