Elizabeth's place is everything a person (or two) and a dog could want, and more. The location by the Arboretum and the Parkway is perfect for hiking (with dogs!), but also close to all the Asheville excitement. Dog amenities include a private fenced-in yard, towels and treats by the door, unfussy, comfortable furnishings where both dogs and people can feel at home, and a lovely, easy walk along the wooded driveway and field if you just need a short walk. Human amenities include a peaceful, private apartment surrounded by beautiful garden, a kitchen stocked with EVERYTHING, including good knives, and everything from bug spray and Benadryl to fresh eggs and beer in the fridge to dog-friendly hiking recommendations galore. The hosts were both incredibly responsive and thoroughly unobtrusive. I felt spoiled rotten the whole time I was there.
