Joy was a great host. She was there when we arrived and available if we needed her. Her cottage is darling -- sparkling clean, very nicely decorated, well equipped and very private. Plus, she's an artist and has hung some of her great pieces in the cottage!
We enjoyed the location -- only about 4 miles from downtown and very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's in a quiet, tree-studded neighborhood and it was a really nice retreat from the two festivals going on downtown!
We heartily recommend it!
