Open the window and hear the sound of the river below, and the birds chirping and the wind in the trees in this quiet, fairly secluded neighborhood not far from downtown Asheville. If this were only one of the most comfortable places we have stayed in, with an open, sunny, airy, elegant atmosphere, it would be enough to book in. But the owner also sends a very complete listing of locally-endorsed restaurants, grocery stores, activities, etc. It has a huge tv so don't forget your passwords. The kitchen is well-equipped with special touches like truffle oil, and many choices for coffee and tea. We are looking forward to returning.
