Once a year I take a weekend vacation on my own to reset, relax and restore my soul. This year for my birthday I stayed in Asheville at Chickadee's and it was one of the best weekends I've had in a long time. First off, Becky is a great communicator and gracious hostess. Seeing that she offered pottery lessons in their studio next to the cottage, I went ahead and booked a lesson. Becky was an awesome teacher and taught me so much in such a short amount of time. She really inspires you to create and imagine. She helped me create a beautiful bowl-can't wait to see the finished product! I could have stayed and talked and played with clay all night with Becky! Book a lesson-so worth it! The cottage itself was so clean and cozy-felt right at home immediately. Had everything I needed. Easy in-easy out. The location is perfect-close to everything. Cute little creek in the back and watched beautiful horses in the pasture. Everything was perfect-thank you Becky! I shall return!!
