We enjoyed this place and the dogs did too. I actually liked it here so much that I extended my stay, and hope to come back soon. The location is great- seriously River Arts, Downtown, and West Asheville are all within 10 minutes of the house. Hiking spots are about 35 minutes out. The bedrooms felt very clean, and the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, and having some basics to use felt very welcoming. The bathroom is spacious and offers natural light, and a stand up mirror which is a huge help in getting ready. ---Do read the directions to the house before coming and take a minute to look at it on a map. It is tricky to find on your first go. The plus side of this is that the house feels very private even in the city. I would also recommend bringing a flashlight if you plan to bring pets with you. There are some solar lights outside, but I felt better having a little extra light.
