This is a rare gem. I lived in Asheville for at least a dozen years, and came back with my husband to visit old friends. For all those looking for the perfect place to stay this is it. It combines the gorgeousness of the mountain views, and the quiet, peacefulness and calm of mountain living which is what attracts many to this unique spot in the world with the fun and excitement and quirkiness, great good and beverages of Asheville only 7 minutes away. You can literally get on I-26 in 1 minute and be in downtown Asheville in 6 minutes and the River Arts District in 3 minutes. The apartment is spacious, light, has very hip decor, a very nice bathroom and shower, a big kitchen well equipped, terrific lending library that my husband really enjoyed, and all kinds of special treats like great coffee. half and half, croissants and green tea.......oh. and chocolate...Yum! All thanks to our warm and welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable, always-available when needed, and majorly talented artist-host, Callie Warner. Callie is a major bonus and a super-super host. She is incredible and a real treat not to be missed. We can't wait to come back. We will be returning once or twice a year to Asheville to see friends, and when we do we will be staying with Callie unless she's booked which she's vkey likely to be. So we'll have to do some advance planning to make certain we have a spot at Callie's Sanctuary! Oh, and be sure to check out Callie's amazing metalwork and sculptures all over the property.
