We just spent 4 days with good friends and great times and Malinda's house. The house is the perfect blend of modern and comfort, and was perfect for our occasion. It rained on us the majority of the weekend, so the tin roof on the front porch was extremely enjoyable to listen to. Malinda has very helpful notes for how to operate the various features of the house, how to check in, how to check out, etc. Kitchen is very well appointed, and there is plenty of seating and sleeping space. Next time we're in Asheville, this will be where we stay.
