Marin was a great host. She was very hospitable and responsive to our (many) questions. The space was clean and the distance to downtown Asheville was very convenient. Our kids loved the chickens and cats, and the grass in the back of the house was great for them to run around. If staying here with kids bring an extra sound machine, normal walking around upstairs can be loud in the later evening (she mentions this in the description so we were anticipating it). We are VERY pleased with our decision to stay there and would recommend it.
