LOVE staying with Karen. She is always so kind and warm, great to talk to. She offers great suggestions about the area. Her home is lovely, sparkling clean, and a great place to get quality rest. Her home is in a quiet part of West Asheville yet very close to all the action (a rare find). I have stayed with her a few times now and I'm always welcomed by her very sweet dog and a cup of hot tea! 100% recommend!
