Julia made us feel very welcome, introduced us to her new-born goats (1 week old!) and as others have said the dog Milo was very friendly, joining us on the patio whilst my husband I had a drink! The studio is compact, cleverly designed with 1 large room separated by a bookcase / Tv cabinet etc. Given the great warm weather the aircon was great to keep the place cool, and given the fridge is at the end of the bed, fab that it's quiet! The studio was a bit brown for my husbands liking; brown towels, brown sheets and a few cobwebs and dust on the lights but generally pretty clean and i think it's good value, is well equipped, a good location for a decent supermarket to stock up on essentials and we often took Uber taxis into Downtown Asheville for $12 so a good location overall. Go stay at Julia's place and watch the fireflies dance in the woods as dusk falls - it's magical!!
