Five star! Perfect in every way. I’d give a HIGHER score if I could! We stayed a week and felt very much at home in this beautiful and quiet (but centrally located) mountain retreat.
Muffi and Tim have thought of EVERYTHING one could possibly need in their beautiful log cabin studio. No need to pack a flashlight or extra USB connections…they are here! As well as coffee, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, plenty of fluffy towels … enough for our entire stay. We never used the stove, oven, or toaster but it was nice to know they were here if needed. Nice sized microwave. We loved the refrigerator for wine and or coffee creamer and the little freezer/ice trays was perfect as I love ice cubes in my water. Nice TV that can be viewed from the bed with streaming services .. Netflix came in handy on a rainy evening.
The shower had good water pressure, the air-conditioned worked perfectly to keep the cabin cool while we slept in the very comfortable bed. There is really NOTHING we can find any fault with. Just a perfect little quiet space tucked in the peaceful woods. You feel like you are worlds away from everything but it is a VERY central and convenient location … literally just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, great restaurants, and grocery stores.
We have a Tesla and there is a new Tesla Supercharger station (very fast 250kW) only 3 miles away conveniently on the way into Asheville. It’s beside a Panera’s and a short walk to a Whole Food market. Worked out perfectly for our stay.
The location of the Studio is VERY central to all that Asheville has to offer. If you need a suggestion, we highly recommend the Flying Bike eBike tour for an awesome 3 hour overview of Asheville including the beautiful Grove Park Inn. For hiking, don’t miss Triple Falls in Dupont State Forest. We spent a day at the Biltmore. And also went to Mt. Mitchell, Craggy Gardens, Chimney Rock, Black Mountain, Brevard, Dillsboro, and many other places. Muffi and Tim’s place was perfectly situated right in the middle of it all making it VERY convenient.
There are fabulous restaurants in and around Asheville but one of our favorites was only a mile away from the Studio … the Copper Crown. We went twice during our stay, sat at the bar and enjoyed our conversations with the bartender, Tim. Another place a mile away was Pomodoro. Great Greek Salad and ravioli..but very short staffed the night we went. We also recommend Curate (dinner), and Biscuit Head (breakfast or lunch).
We’ll be back and I’ll be telling all my friends/family to book their stay in this perfect get-away.
