Others have written this (here in the reviews and in the guestbook at Heath's place), but this is truly the best Air B and B experience I've ever had in years of using the service.
Heath's space is about 20 minutes from downtown AVL and is impeccably clean and super stylish. It is modern yet cozy, and convenient to everything we wanted to do on our trip.
We arrived very late (after 10pm) and I couldn't find my email with the access code but Heath texted it to me within seconds of asking. After that, it was super easy to get in and out of the space.
The carriage house is above the garage and we felt like we had a lot of privacy despite being attached (across from a deck/set of stairs) from a second property. It was VERY quiet--except for a few lovely towhees we heard chirping in the morning.
Heath is gifted at hospitality--he left wine, snacks, fresh juice, and a really sweet note for us. Every little nook of the place is decorated with thought and care. Although it's a studio, the layout offered plenty of room for us and I was impressed with the full sized bathroom, shower, and the little closet off of the bathroom with plenty of storage (hangers, etc.) for clothing and luggage. We didn't cook on our trip, but the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to stay in.
Check out was SO easy. We only had to turn the lights off and lock up.
We were there to see Asheville, but we wound up hiking up Chimney Rock, visiting Appalachian Ridge Artisan Ciders (where we had a $10 flight and watch the birds in the orchards), and stopping by Bullington Gardens (if you are interested in plants/native plants/pollinator gardens, we highly recommend!) since we were staying in the vicinity.
Thanks again, Heath, our stay was wonderful!
