We just returned from Matthew's place, and we absolutely loved it! We were looking for a quiet retreat for the two of us while we were exploring Asheville for a week. The location--about 15 minutes from downtown Asheville--was perfect with it's pastoral setting in the foothills and within a few minutes of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The photos are very accurate. It is bright, spacious, clean, well-designed and feels new. It was perfect for the two of us, but could work for four or so if you don't mind sharing a bathroom.
The kitchen was very nice with full-sized appliances and a good work-space (although you may need a few condiments and a medium to large-sized frying pan or saucepan). The living room furniture is very comfortable and like new. The TV screen is small and without local broadcasts or cable, but you can plug in a device via HDMI, and stream your video via the adequate wi-fi. Our phones could not receive an AT&T cellular signal in this mountainous area, but we managed by using the wi-fi.
The queen memory-foam mattress was super comfortable. Although not shown in the photos, there is a nice well-lit walk-in closet. The bathroom had a large counter and drawers for toiletries, and an excellent shower. It may not be necessary in the country, but if you live in the city, you may find it odd that (as in the photos) there are no blinds or curtains on the windows or doors except the bedroom windows. We remedied that by throwing a sheet over the glass door from living area to the bedroom.
We also loved the large deck for relaxing in the evening after a long day of hiking and exploring the Asheville area. There is very good separation between Matthew's home and the apartment. As mentioned in his description, he completely respects your privacy; we did not actually speak with him while we were there. There is also a downstairs apartment, but we tried to tread lightly, and hardly heard the downstairs neighbors.
All in all, this is a wonderful place to stay if you value peace and tranquility, and a nice bright clean living space during your travels. We highly recommend it!
