The location is great! It’s very convenient to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway, downtown Asheville, and to the Biltmore Estate. Biltmore is only ten minutes away and has tons of neat places to set up a picnic and enjoy nature. We also had a wonderful time just driving up the Parkway and looking out into the mountains from the many overlooks.
We stayed for a month which in hindsight might be too long for us during these COVID-19 times. We worked from home during the day and went out in the late afternoon. A lot of restaurants and groceries in Asheville offer delivery and pickup, and Peg was gracious enough to lend us refrigerator space. We were able to cook often which limited our exposure to the select restaurants we liked to pickup food from in Asheville.
If you have more time to vacation, explore, and be out of the house, it might be a better fit. Between the hot summer sun, the afternoon thunderstorms, and only outdoor spaces to really hang out in 2020, we stayed in the room more than we wanted. But the bed is very comfortable, and you get a nice chair in the bedroom to relax. There was plenty of storage for our items, the neighborhood was very safe and quiet, and the shower was hot.
The pictures don’t do it justice—the space has everything you need to enjoy a great stay! Peg has great taste in art, as well.
We enjoyed Asheville and would like to explore the town again when it’s safer. We tried our best to limit our exposure to the coronavirus, and keep our host and ourselves healthy. Peg was a kind and gracious person, and her cats were equally charming. Thank you for having us!
