Luckily for us, the two days we needed, were the ONLY two days open in October, on Norma and Jim’s calendar. This was a relatively last minute book due to friends not being able to host us. The Zen Garden and the hosts, did not disappoint. Their home is ideally situated from all the good stuff - downtown Asheville (craft breweries), Sierra Nevada (Mega Daddy of Craft Breweries), The Biltmore and five minutes from hoping on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Actually, so many attractions/adventures, too many to name here. They are true hosts - from the art of conversation - to providing a comfortably appointed amenity-filled place to stay. Their breakfasts, are simply wonderful. From the presentation to the variety of food and even the location of where to place yourself - their lovely kitchen or at the table in the soothing Zen garden. Plenty of information - including dining and destinations, can be provided via a conversation with the hosts or provided in your room. A bookcase and desk area, is well stocked with their own binder, a personal review notebook from guests, guide books and plenty of pamphlets. BONUS...love licks from their beloved Maltese, Casper. All good, actually GREAT. Stay here. You’ll be glad you did. ;-/
Thank you,
Mary and Tom
