We came to Asheville to see family at Christmas, not to be tourists. We used to live in Asheville and, while it's beautiful, we try and avoid the tourist traps. So it was a good thing this place was so comfortable, clean, and peaceful... since we found out soon after arriving that one of our family members in the household we were visiting was sick with Covid. Needless to say, we spent more time in this spot than we did exploring or spending time with family, which was fine (also most things were closed Xmas eve and Xmas day, which also was fine). This place is so charming, from the cute little kitchenette to the crawl foot bath tub, to the comfy sleep number bed. We try to stay in quiet spots and Alan's place did not disappoint. Alan is very responsive, even checking on us on Christmas day to make sure we were warm since the December 22 cold snap resulted in 2 nights of single digit weather (we were fine as he has two heat sources!). We will be back!!
