We had a lovely stay at Gretchen's place! Would definitely stay here again next time we are in Asheville. The house itself is bright, beautiful, spacious and full of original detailing and character. Amenities were wonderful - even though it was a shared space, we felt at home and Gretchen even made a fresh pot of coffee for us every morning. We also really enjoyed hanging out on the large, comfy front porch and had some nice conversations with fellow guests.
The location was perfect - located on a charming street full of historic homes that was lovely to walk around. The house was also located close to a great yoga studio and vegan restaurant called Plant, which were fantastic, and less than 5 minutes walking. It's just on the outskirts of the main downtown area. We tried walking there the first day because we were so close - and its completely doable but requires walking on some busy roads so we opted for driving or taking an uber the rest of our stay.
