David & Shawn’s place was just as beautiful, if not more, than the photos and other reviews suggest. This was our first “shared space” booking we’ve ever done through airbnb and we’d do it all over again at the Historic Church House. David and Shawn really have thought of everything, from lovely furnishings, to great amenities like coffee and adult beverages to greet you after your travels, to extra soaps and products in case you forgot anything. (Even an umbrella to use when we unfortunately received rain during the entirety of our stay in Asheville!) I can’t speak enough about the home itself and how privileged we felt getting to stay in such a beautiful, unique and cozy place. The hot tub was an extra luxury and we used it two out of three nights during our stay - it was convenient and easy to use and a perfect end to our evenings. The fireplace was beautiful too, but we never got around to using it. We were encouraged to come and go, so it was lovely having a space that although shared, still felt private and cozy for us on a husband-wife retreat.
If you have lots of luggage, my recommendation would be make sure you can pick it up and carry it as you will be entering up some stairs outside as well as the steps indoors. (David was nice and offered to help, but we did fine with getting our luggage inside on our own!)
David and Shawn were the nicest of the nice and provided us with everything we needed, and some lovely hospitality and conversation. If you’re looking for a couple to make you feel at home in their home, look no further. By far one of our favorite Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in! Thanks again, Shawn and David!! 🙂
