I have had the best stay at Susan and Tom's in Asheville. They have a lovely house perched on top of the hill surrounded by the trees. There is a small private patio in front where you can enjoy your cup of coffee surrounded by the soothing sound of the cicadas. The room itself is quite spacious, much bigger than I expected. You can tell that Susan and Tom thought about everything that goes into the guests' comfort because you will find everything that you need in close reach (from extra blankets to toothpaste). The house is quite close to a few grocery markets (Trader Joe's/Wholefoods) and lots of restaurants and cafes and it is in two miles from downtown. Susan sent me lots of great information about the events and things that she thought might interest me and her tips were very helpful. If I returned to Asheville, I would definitely stay at their house again.
