The location was perfect for my kayaking weekend. Close to downtown Asheville and the French Broad. It did have a country feel to it! The studio is as described with everything I needed for two days. It is small so if they are two of you, make sure you really, really like each other! Though I'm not a beer drinker, the beer in the fridge was a nice touch. I didn't get to meet Miriam but one of her friends was good about getting in touch with me and making sure that I knew where to find everything.
