My 20 year old son & I just had the pleasure of spending 3 nights in the Fierle's charming home. The location and accommodations were just perfect-cozy, quiet, convenient, clean, comfortable and private. However, the best feature of all was the true southern hospitality we received from the entire family! Getting to know each of them a bit made our trip even more memorable.
The location itself is almost exactly halfway between UNC-A and the lively downtown area. It's an easy 1.5 to 2 mile walk and there are sidewalks most of the way. Also very close to the Fierle's is the new Trader Joe's, a Harris Teeter, and Green Life Grocery.
The bottom line is this-they are ideal hosts-full of helpful information and suggestions for things to see and do around Asheville. An added bonus is that you'll feel as though you're visiting old friends. Be warned-the place is so unique & inviting that it may be hard to leave-especially the one-of-a-kind kitchen. (sorry you'll have to see it for yourself :)
