I just spent 4 days in the "blue room" at Rita's home. This was a very comfortable accommodation, and Karen and I really enjoyed our stay! The room rate was very respectable, and the location was amazing! We only had to walk a couple of blocks to get to downtown Asheville! There was fresh coffee and fruit/mini-muffins available every morning...but if you are willing to walk 5 minutes, you can find plenty of awesome breakfast spots in downtown. The linens were clean and comfortable, and the hot tub felt really nice on our legs after a long day walking around downtown.
Rita and John were excellent hosts. They were very friendly and I really felt at home during my stay.
