If you want the authentic Asheville experience, stay here. From the moment of initial interaction in booking, Miriam was warm & welcoming. This proved to be true throughout my stay at her place- she strikes an incredible balance between gracious helpfulness & privacy. Also, her place was charming- hand built with love, I have many shots of my little chihuahua Lola looking blissfully out the windows. It's in a beautiful setting, the bed quite comfy, and the shower great. I felt like I was a stone's throw from everywhere I wanted to go, and not knowing Asheville at all, Miriam was full of great helpful hints. I had an extremely positive experience here and wouldn't hesitate to return... Thanks, Miriam!!!
