I highly recommend this space. Laura and Don created a well designed and decorated home away from home and I felt completely at ease. It was so peaceful waking to many bird sounds as I sipped coffee in the mornings on the private stone patio! Staying here is staying in a paradise - it has that balance of living in the country but is minutes (maybe 10) from downtown Asheville and every other amenity you might need. Very good restaurants are nearby (Laura told me about Homegrown, 3 minutes away -- I loved the fresh trout). There is a Fresh Market and anything else you might think you need. The apartment is incredibly clean with 100% cotton sheets. Attention to details in decorating and materials used in creating this charming place are superb! It has my highest recommendation.
