The listing was completely what my boyfriend and I expected. We had the flexibility of entering the basement room through the house (upstairs), or through the private basement entrance (downstairs). The refrigerator helped us keep a lot of the leftovers we didn't finish from all of the delicious eats we ate in Asheville, and the living room and dining table provided separation enough from the oh-so-comfy bed. My favorite part of the basement room was the French windows and the nook. There was a spurt of summer rain one of the days we were there and the French windows provided a lush, gorgeous, and crisp green view of the yard outside.

This place was a 10 minute drive to downtown Asheville (so many good eats and brews!), and super close to Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company (get the Mom's Garden pizza!). Susan also recommended some great hiking in the next town over at Pisgah National Forest's Looking Glass Rock - do it, you won't regret it!

Sue and Tom were terrific hosts who provided fantastic tips for local must-try breweries, places to eat, and hiking spots, but more or less, left us to our own devices :) Would definitely stay here again!
