I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Kern and Anne! I teach in Alaska and come home to NC for summer each year. This year, I opted to stay in Asheville so I would be close to family and able to enjoy all that Asheville offers (hiking, shopping, museums, restaurants, etc.). After this school year, I was in desperate need of a quiet, relaxing space...and their location definitely provided it. There are also beautiful gardens in the front yard, and Anne was kind and attentive anytime I needed anything. She even gave me a container of raspberries and blueberries to take with me my last day. The location is great in that you are 15 - 20 minutes of downtown Asheville, and even closer to grocery stores and restaurants...and you still feel like you are in a remote space in the mountains. Excellent stay...and I would highly recommend to anyone.
