Jake is an extremely conscientious host, with Asheville advice and suggestions at the ready. The bed is as comfortable as everyone says. And the back porch is a blissful place to drink your morning coffee. The outside stairs leading to the unit may be treacherous in bad weather, but Jake was kind enough to let us walk through the main house when it was raining. He also mailed us a ring we'd left behind. A fine host and a lovely place to stay.
