Karen is a gracious host, friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed our conversations which were wide ranging and fascinating. I am a light sleeper, and the quiet, comfortable room was just perfect. I slept soundly! In the morning, Karen would get up before I did, but she was so quiet and considerate that I never heard her. It was a joy to find coffee ready and breakfast laid out for me. If I return to Asheville, I will stay with Karen if she is available.
