My arrival was met with a friendly greeting from Pat, who remembered me from my two previous experiences here. My descriptions of those experiences are presumably accessible to anyone reading this. I know the place well now & returned for a third stay because I find it so well-suited to my purposes as an art writer visiting Asheville for both business and pleasure. It's perfect for a solo visitor who appreciates simple Japanese-style beauty and tranquility. Or two visitors if they know each other intimately & enjoy being together.
