Nature lover's paradise!!!
My wife and I stayed at Jacqui's Ladyhawk Lodge for two nights. We arrived very late at about midnight due to work schedules but Jacqui was flexible in accommodating our schedule.
Pros:
This house is completely surrounded by trees, bushes and grass. We could not see any of the neighboring propertiesJacqui has made meditation as a way of her life. Relaxing soothing soft music was playing in the house all the time. The volume was at perfect level. The bedroom is spacious and looks a lot better than the pictures show. It has plenty of paintings and art work on the walls. The room has a private bathroom. When we arrived, the room and bathroom were very clean and well organized. The house also has a nice patio with comfortable chairs and couch. A few wind chimes were hanging around the patio structure and a electric hand-pump waterfall was placed right outside the bedroom. The sound of a small amount of water continuously running through the pump added to the soothing effect.
We got to meet with Jacqui the next morning and she seemed very welcoming and warm. After a nice chat with Jacqui and her lovely dog, we got to enjoy the continental breakfast Jacqui arranged for us. We spent some time in the patio and it was very relaxing. Jacqui offered us to use her fridge to store food and beverages. She has been living in Asheville area for a long time and offered us helpful tips to plan our day. Jacqui respected our privacy and during the rest of our stay we hardly felt her presence.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who would like a calm and peaceful stay in a beautiful place completely surrounded by the nature.
Cons:
This place has a LONG driveway and in the dark the drive way can be a little scary. I am giving 4 stars (and not 5) only for this one reason.
