We loved staying at Bluebird Sanctuary and would definitely recommend it. The location was quintessential Asheville- close to the River Arts district which has an industrial/artsy/hipster vibe. The first day we stuck around the River Arts district- had a fabulous lunch at a food truck, drank some beers at New Belgium & Wedge breweries, took in some art galleries & finished off with dinner at Smoky Park Supper Club. The next day we went into downtown (which was a quick 5 minute Uber ride). Overall, a great experience. The place was super clean, updated and comfy. Loved the library / bedroom and the spacious bathroom. The view down the hill to New Belgium brewery was really cool as well. If it wasn't so chilly out, we would've spent some time on the porch, enjoying a cocktail.
