We stayed for a weekend and had a wonderful time! The downstairs apartment with a separate entrance was spacious and beautifully maintained with a full kitchen and bath. Karen wrote a really helpful introduction to acquaint us to the area with recommendations for places to eat and things to do that were spot-on. We were located close to the Blue Ridge mountains, the Highlands brewery and just 15 minutes from town. Overall, an excellent place to stay for a refreshing vacation, and we'll definitely recommend Karen's place to friends visiting Asheville!
