Though I'd love to keep this place a secret JUST FOR US, everyone should get the fun of booking this stay! Short story: we loved it so much we re-booked for next spring before we even checked out!
It's absolutely not to be missed if you're going to stay in Asheville! Julia is fantastic, and so are all her goats, ducks, cats, and dog. We loved getting to see the goats anytime during the day, and getting warm "welcome back" purrs from Keiki and Pippy! Woody, the dog, is a big, sweet, playful dog, and does not bark. The goats had a little bit to say and the ducks were the most talkative of the wildlife.
Julia was very helpful with tips about places to go and things to do, also had a whole basket of brochures and some hand-made maps/directions laminated to take pictures of before you get out into the woods where there's no GPS. The WIFI signal was great at the house and cell service around the house and into town (I have AT&T). The apartment was GREAT! Loved it. Perfect size for 2. It's very private, sound proofed (AirBNB is on the lower level) and we didn't hear any noise above us and there is a sign encouraging us to be as noisy as we want bc she can't hear a thing upstairs! We planned on using the kitchen but got lazy and there was SO MUCH good vegan food nearby (gotta go to Rosetta's!). Grind in West AVL/River Arts had the most amazing coffee!
Julia was delightful and great with communication. We texted to touch base a couple times for this and that. We also let her know that there was a bear eating off of her pear tree!! It was really neat to be so close, but safe inside! Loved it!
