We had a lovely stay at Heather's place. Our space was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect since we had a really early flight out on our departure day. The airport is literally 5 minutes from her house. We drove to downtown Asheville several times and we did not feel it was too far out of the way. It is about a 15-20, depending where you're going. We wanted to do some hiking and we got great commendations from Stewart. The trails we chose to do were about half an hour drive from here. We felt centrally located. I would certainly stay at Heather's place again. The welcoming committee (dogs) was an added bonus :-)
