This house is really unique and quirky. Its 100 years old so some things just cannot change without completely renovating. Its really cool to be in a place with such character. There is no air conditioning but there was a fan. We read in some previous reviews that there was no air conditioning so we brought our own fan as well. Natalie has a whole book full of suggestions and directions for what you need to do in the house to make everything work. It was very detailed . We would definitely come back next time. Everything is 5-10 mins away from downtown asheville. Thanks for letting us stay.
