Lauralee is an energetic and kind hostess, and her home is a funky respite for free-spirited travellers. I enjoyed collecting kale from the garden, writing upstairs, and making fires in the woodstove, with a few Buddhist chanting sessions tossed in! The colors are terrific, the air is great, and the porch would be terrific for people not visiting in winter. ; ) Her street is the GREATEST location, just between downtown and Haywood; and being there was a perfect introduction to Asheville.
