We enjoyed staying in the Bird House!
The location is convenient to town and some nearby trails. We did several things in town, which were very closeby. Sarah & Allison give great suggestions on activities and restaurants. The restaurant scene in Asheville is awesome and was very accomodating to my food allergies. We also hiked a very nice waterfall trail (Catawba), which was not too far away.
The decor and comfort made our stay enjoyable. It is very clean. The light in the space is amazing--there are lots of big windows. The pictures on the site are spot on. There's fun art and plants around to make it feel homey. The gardens are beautiful. There are books about the area available to read. Although the kitchenette, living room, and bedroom are all one big room, the kitchen counter separated the kitchen from the living room and a pony wall separated the living room from the bedroom. It gave the feeling of so much space and separated it into uses. The living room couch is a futon that could sleep others, but we liked the space for two. The kitchen was well equipped with all that you would need, but we decided to explore the restaurants and didn't cook (they did leave us some figs--my favorite fruit--from their garden, coffee/tea and half-and-half). The bathroom is well appointed and Sarah & Allison provided products and the all-important hairdryer. There are also other amenities like an iron/board (that we didn't use). We never tried the TV, but one was available (with instructions on how to use it that didn't seem too difficult). The wifi was fast enough for us and dependable.
The parking is a little weird, since we have a big vehicle and needed to make a u-turn onto the gravel out front. But it's easy to get used to and we had our own entrance gate with a lighted pathway when we came in after dark. The front porch is on a motion sensor, so ask we walked toward the door, our way was well lit. The door lock system is very convenient and secure.
Allison was in contact with us during our stay (by text) and we felt comfortable knowing that she was available for us. They are right next door, but we never felt like they would be intrusive. Everything was perfect. This is the best AirBnB we've stayed at (and we've stayed at more than a few). It was a real pleasure.
