Excellent stay! The house was immaculately clean, and very nicely decorated! We were not too interested in the downtown Asheville area, so we can’t speak to that; however, the location was less than 10 minutes from the River Arts district. It is also 5 mins from an Ingles (Starbucks within) and from a local coffee place (High Five Brewing). We found it to be very close to many “true to Asheville” restaurants like Nine Mile and 828 pizza. It is also 20 mins from Biltmore Estate. Honestly, this was a perfect gem for us. The hosts, Tara and Michael, were in contact with us from the beginning if we ever needed anything (which we didn’t). Thanks for the hospitality!
