Wow is all I can say. I've stayed in quite a few B&B's and Gretchen by far was the best host. I was traveling solo to Asheville to check out wedding venues for my daughter. Gretchen not only was a great source but introduced me to several girlfriends who knew the wedding business and shared a glass of wine while giving me great tips. The room was incredibly clean and had such a nice feel - airy, pretty, comfy! I'd stay there again in a heart beat and felt like I made new friends. Great host! Great dog! Great friends! Great house!
