This was a wonderful and unique place to stay while exploring the Asheville area. Julia was a welcoming and generous host, introducing us to her goat family and dog -- all very sweet -- shortly after we arrived. The studio is like a suite, with a separate sleeping, sitting, and kitchen area -- and porch! -- perfect for a relaxing short-term visit. Her community is in the country, which makes for a quiet, peaceful retreat after busy days exploring nearby downtown Asheville and having other mini adventures. We had driven two days to get there from Massachusetts, and our stay at Julia's was a big part of why we had such a great trip.
