My partner & I had such a wonderful experience at the Zen Cabin. The location was perfect, just a mile or so north of the downtown area, and while we drove everywhere, there were definitely plenty of restaurants and shops that were within a short walking distance. For those driving, we had an exceptionally easy time finding parking in and around the downtown--parallel spaces are quite long, and free after 6pm, but the big parking garages are also easy to get to and quite inexpensive even if you plan to stay all day.
The cabin itself is beautifully furnished with an arched ceiling and windows everywhere. I love waking up with sunlight, so this was a definite bonus for me. The tankless water heater took some getting used to in the shower, but their written instructions were very useful. I'm very particular about shower products, but I gave their provided soaps a try and wound up loving them! They had plenty of extra blankets as well. Leo is an outdoor kitty, who welcomed us back every evening, and we loved his guardianship.
Tami and Johnathon were exceptionally kind, and when we return to Asheville on future vacations I hope to stay with them again!
