Gretchen's home is a beautifully restored home in Asheville's historic homes district. My room, with an en suite full bath, was wonderfully appointed and full of sunlight. There is a great wrap-around front porch that was perfect for morning coffee and evening chats. Gretchen herself is a lovely and delightful host. I was traveling solo, and she and her husband invited me to join them to see Shakespeare in Love in a local outdoor theater. I highly recommend her home, and will definitely return myself for future visits to Asheville.
