This was the perfect home for an extended, February getaway to Asheville. It's warm, clean, and welcoming, with cottage charm and comfortable beds. The hardwood floors are beautiful and the paint colors are well chosen. The kitchen equipment was adequate for preparing meals and the washer and dryer were nicer than my own. Sunlight fills this house as soon as you open the shades, and even in February the front porch was a favorite spot in the afternoon.

The location worked well for us. The distance to everything from morning coffee to Trader Joe's is an easy walk. It's a few minutes by car to mountain trails, shopping, galleries, and breweries. The YMCA is a mile away, so routine exercise isn't disrupted and with the number of fantastic restaurants in town, it was a necessity. If your choice is locally grown and grass fed, you'll love this city. The varied options for groceries and restaurants made dining and cooking easy.

Lisa was easy to work with from the first time we contacted her with questions, to the email she sent wishing a safe trip home. She checked in with us when we arrived to see that everything was in order and to ensure us she was available for questions or concerns. She checked in again about half way through the month to see how we were doing. We felt there was a great balance of offering support if we needed anything, and leaving us alone to feel as though it was our house for the month. We would definitely rent this home again on a return trip to Asheville.
