Amanda and Benjamin are very friendly, helpful, and professional hosts. The home is just as pictured, although the actual spaces in the kitchen and living room area seem to me to be larger than they appear in the pictures (although they appear to be good sized in the pictures). As noted in other places, abut 15 - 20 minutes from downtown Asheville. The home is set on a beautiful location at the back of a nice housing development. Very peaceful, quiet, beautiful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here.
