We had great time staying at Rita's place! The blue room was very elegant and clean as was the rest of the house. Rita had plenty of suggestions on where to go and what to do. We were disappointed that we only had one day in Asheville because it was such a fun place to visit. Rita's house is about a 10 minute walk to several restaurants, bars, and art galleries downtown! I would recommend watching the sunset at the Sky Bar and taking a drive through the smoky mountains for a day hike if you have a chance while visiting Asheville. It is surrounded by lots of natural beauty! Rita was a wonderful host and the house was full of positive energy. We hope to return for a longer stay in the future and would definitely recommend staying with Rita!
