Karen’s home was beautiful and spacious. The views from both the front and back were unbeatable and the front patio made for such a lovely space to watch the sunset each night over the mountains and enjoy the night sky. It was a short drive into downtown Asheville, but secluded enough to feel the peacefulness of nature. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was stocked with all of the wares we could ask for.
However, there were a few things that we wished had been addressed ahead of time that would have been good to know. Once we arrived one of our guests saw a cat roaming around the house. Our dogs can be cat reactive and some of our guests are allergic, so it is something we wish we would have known ahead of time. Also, having rented the “entire place” we didn’t think we’d be sharing the home with anyone. Upon check-in Karen let us know her children would be in and out of the house. They had their own entrance and absolutely gave us our privacy as promised, but this situation made our guests uncomfortable given there was no barrier or even door between us and we didn’t know this was the case until check-in.
All in all it was a beautiful weekend in a beautiful home!
