The Withers welcomed us warmly to their beautiful property and Asheville - thanks for sharing everything from your pool to your restaurant recommendations to your free-range eggs and honey with us! The cottage-apartment is just gorgeous: from its Scandivanian-feel furnishings and decor, to its well-designed no-slam drawers and roomy shower. We felt very pampered! And it certainly combines city and country in a way I had never experienced Asheville. 10 minutes down the road you had your pick of supermarkets and restaurants; but you could wake up in the forested mountains with chickens afoot, and paddocks of horses and goats nearby.
