My step-son wanted a quiet place to do some recording. He wanted to be left alone, and was left alone. The place was sparkling clean when I dropped him off, and I didn't have any health concerns. He said of the place--"I didn't talk to them, but they just seemed considerate. There were all of these nice little details around the place...it was homey." If you are visiting Asheville it is less than 10 min from downtown. You can drive over a hill and get a wonderful view of the French Broad River, which is one of the oldest in the world (seriously, google it). We rented a few days after New Year's so it was a little expensive, but my step-son said the place was really wonderful.
