I stayed at Alexandra's home for a week and left feeling so inspired! Her home is a short 5 minute drive to Downtown Asheville on a property surrounded by an amazing organic landscape. A short walk from her property reveals an alternative living community with vast gardens, a momma cow and its' calf, chickens, and even a few goats. Her house itself is secluded from the road, offering a cozy getaway surrounded by walnut and chestnut trees! Alexandra showed me how to open the funny looking drupes and sent me home with a bag full of them!

The room I stayed in was very cozy and comfortable at the back of the house next to the huge wraparound deck overlooking the backyard. She provided me with towels, a fan, and ample closet space as well as a desk and a chest of drawers. I slept with the window open most nights because the weather was so pleasant but the fan was a nice touch to have incase I needed it!

The part of my stay that I enjoyed the most was the time I spent talking with Alexandra. She's a highly intelligent woman with such an open heart! I enjoyed hearing her stories, picking up pieces of knowledge from her and learning more about the Asheville area.

I highly recommend staying at this lovely retreat for a day, week, or even a month, as Alexandra offers a great discount on longer term bookings!

Firefly Haven will always have a special place in my heart :)
