This wonderful property is even more lovely than the pictures indicate: very comfortable and tastefully decorated in every room, from the screened in porch, to the living room and adjacent TV den, to the dining area and kitchen, to the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms — all was perfect. Especially beautiful are the screened in porch and deck, both located right off the main room, creating a beautiful flow and ample spaces for sitting, reading, and otherwise relaxing right next to the gorgeous creek. The block/neighborhood where house is located beautiful as well, featuring several homes with well-tended gardens visible when walking or driving down the private drive used to access the property. The location/distance to down town Asheville is convenient — about a 10 minute drive depending on the time of day and other traffic conditions. The host is very communicative, responsive, and thoughtful: she assured that we felt welcome and comfortable in the house and area, and even left delicious oatmeal cookies for our arrival! Her welcome letter was full of useful information, including the location of a lovely lake/park nearby with a short walking trail that became our favorite dog walking area. Honestly, we did not want to leave! Thank you so much for a fantastic stay!
