Wow! Where do I even begin? This was our first AirBnB experience, and I don't know how any other experience can top this one! It set the bar really high, for sure! Glad Stone Getaway was perfect. Although we never met Louis and Ashley, they made us feel very welcome in their home! Louis was always quick to respond to my messages, and we had no trouble finding the house with the address he gave us. Glad Stone is in close proximity to everything you need or want to do. We were only minutes away from the Biltmore (which is a must see/do), downtown Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and tons of hiking. Check in/out was a breeze.

The house was perfect for the two of us. It was charming, cozy, and comfortable. Everything we needed and more was available to us in the house. We even had a sweet "Happy Anniversary" gift waiting for us on the table when we walked in, which made us feel even more welcome! Louis and Ashley also left several brochures and magazines of things to do and see in Asheville, places to eat, popular hiking spots, etc. And WOW. The Queen bed in the master bedroom was probably one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! I looked forward to laying down in that bed at night after being on our feet all day! We also thoroughly enjoyed the 3 seasons room. We opened all the windows and let the cool mountain breeze blow in as we ate our afternoon meals, drank our morning coffee, or sipped champagne in the evenings. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We had the privacy we needed. It most definitely felt like home away from home, and we felt so relaxed here!

Being from South Louisiana where we don't see cold weather or all 4 seasons often, our homes are equipped with either central air/heat throughout the house, or window units in each room. Glad Stone only has one window unit in the living room to cool the entire house. We thought it would be a problem at first, but it turned out to be just fine! We left the bedroom door open, and the temperature stayed comfortable in the room, especially as the temperature outside dropped at night. The fans in the room kept the air circulating, which was nice.

All in all, we had the time of our lives at Glad Stone Getaway. I highly recommend this spot to anyone wanting to visit Asheville! We hope to book again with Louis and Ashley soon! We will be back!
