So, where to start... The "barn" is a very lovingly restored home. You can tell Mike and Carol put in the time and effort to make this a place anyone would feel comfortable and at home. I can't think of anything you might need when coming here, other than your own items. The kitchen is great, completely stocked, and you can cook just like at home. One thing that I noticed compared to some airbnb's is that they really thought out the bed situation. REALLY comfortable king temperpedic beds in each room. Some people might not care too much, but as someone who had major back surgery, you will be extremely comfortable in these beds. The place is on the same property as the owners, a first for me as Im pretty private, however I never felt like we were not comfortable or intruded upon. It is very private, and Mike might stop to talk to you while your walking down the lovely country road. (if you're that lucky). So your in Asheville, but once you turn off the Main Street, you are on their property and its very quiet and private. There is a nice fire pit, and we even got some wood thrown in!! Mike and Carol were probably the most gracious hosts we have had to pleasure of dealing with, and I would very much recommend this place to anyone wanting a piece of country heaven all wrapped up in an upscale little barn. I can't say enough about personal touches, but don't trust me, check it out. Amazing place!!!
