Our stay with Joy was a wonderful experience, and represents everything we love about Asheville. Due to some circumstances, this was a last minute booking from our end, but even in the short time from our reservation to our arrival, and then throughout our stay, Joy communicated with us, answering our questions warmly and promptly. Joy is a very warm, genuine, and kind host; and we felt like we were staying with a family friend who made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. We loved the location. The neighborhood feels very safe and welcoming, the rooms are clean and calming, and we felt like we were on a peaceful, quiet mountaintop despite our proximity to everything. West Asheville, with its amazing food options is close by; and East Asheville, the Biltmore, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are just a short drive away. We also appreciated being close to the French Broad River park where we were able to walk with our pup, and wish we could have thought of going tubing/kayaking during our stay as the Carrier Park was within easy walking distance! We had a much needed relaxing stay, and will certainly look up Joy when we visit Asheville again!
