Ellen's place is wonderful! It is a short walk to a bunch of restaurants, bars, and breweries in West Asheville. We were also easily able to drive in to downtown and it was easy to get on the highways to get to hiking trails. The house was super clean and decorated really well. Ellen was super thoughtful and checked in with us to make sure everything was okay. The house was also very quiet and we got really peaceful nights' sleeps. Highly recommended!
