The hostess was out of town the weekend we visited but she contacted us ahead of time to make sure we were able to get in. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, just a short drive from downtown Asheville. We found it to be very inviting and comfortable. Our bedding was very cozy and clean. Our puppy enjoyed her fenced in back yard and was just as comfortable as we were. We will definitely book Marilynn's place next time we visit Asheville!
