Karen is a super host, kind, attentive and very caring. Her place is a gem, spot clean, with tons of extras (more pillows and blankets that you could ever wish for), large and inviting, close to Asheville while in a quiet area. There is a little breakfast nook with all the usual amenities (it is not a kitchen so there is no stove, nor sink but there is a small refrigerator). Karen asks you what you wish for breakfast and provides it. The bathroom is big and well equipped. Excellent shower with lots of great large towels, a reading room next to the bed room on the way to the bathroom which is large enough to accommodate a queen inflatable mattress (not provided). It has a large TV which we turned on (it works) but did not look at. Wi-Fi works flawlessly. The mattress is very firm which could be a minus for some and a plus for others.
