What an adorable place! We had total privacy and availability of the hosts when needed. Laura and Dennis are very kind and friendly, and really made us feel at home. There was even a personalized "Welcome" sign with chocolates in our room! An added bonus was the map of the "South Slope" area that we could take with us. We're an older couple with not-so-spry bodies and we were able to walk to a lot of places nearby.
We really enjoyed sitting out on the little patio in the cool of the morning, listening to the birds and taking in the abundant vegetation. The queen bed was wonderful, just the right firmness. Laura even stocks snacks for those munchie moments. It was small but spacious and so much nicer than a hotel room. There's no TV but we never missed it. In fact, I think it added to our enjoyment. And the shower... Heaven! It's a stone floor walk-in with tons of room and really nice Dove moisturizing products already there for you.
Although there's no kitchen (which we knew ahead of time and, really, why would you want to cook with so many great places to eat nearby?) there is a small fridge that is stocked with water as well as a coffee maker. My husband is a tea drinker and forgot his kettle; Laura invited him up to make his tea and sit for a chat. Like I said, super nice people!
We have another family gathering in Asheville next year and this will definitely be our go-to place to stay. Thank you Laura and Dennis for such a special visit!
