We have spent the last two Christmases at Traci’s place, and it is a truly relaxing and inspiring setting equipped with every amenity you might need (and more) and filled with interesting local art to inspire your creativity and imagination. It is immaculately clean, and the interior strikes a warm balance between mountain contemporary and organic modernism (it has a somewhat Scandinavian feeling). This year, we had an especially magical stay due to the Christmas Eve snow (and white Christmas we all dream of) , and the multitude of cardinals, doves, and squirrels who perched on the shrubs and fence and fed in the private courtyard just outside our windows. I grew up in the mountains of NC, but have lived elsewhere for many years. Staying at Traci’s feels like coming home for me, and I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in the Asheville area given the choice. Traci is a wonderful and kind host, and has an incredible eye for the kind of details that make a stay truly memorable. Thank you, Traci, for another wonderful stay!
