Beth and Ken are kind and wonderful people, and the amount of care they put into creating Athena's loft is evident. The space is quiet, cozy, and super relaxing but close enough to food, shops, etc. that really you get the best of both worlds. Books, games, and a charming puzzle are available for use, and the visitor's guide they created is SUPERB. We visited Dobrá Tea and the Green Sage Café upon reading their descriptions, and we were beyond happy with our experiences there.
If you desire a quiet Asheville getaway that is also super close to great food and downtown, Athena's Loft is the perfect space. Beth was super responsive to any questions we asked and made sure that we had what we needed for an exellent Asheville experience. Can't wait to stay here again. :)
