The Malvern Hills Hideaway is a lovely gem in the West Asheville area. My friend and I stayed for a girls' getaway and we couldn't have been more pleased with the comfort, charm, and amenities provided for our time together. Communication with Alice was seamless and we were especially touched by the special gift left for us to share on my birthday weekend. The place was spotless and we had all we needed to relax during downtime and later go out and explore the area around Asheville. The bedrooms were lovely and the beds were so restful. The bathroom design was so cool and the shower pressure and water temperature were perfect. The house guest book gave us some great ideas on where to eat and visit, and the kitchen was fully stocked to cook each day, with plenty of options for coffee, teas, cocoa, etc... We appreciated Alice's sensitivity to allergies and we found that Asheville's restaurants were amazingly receptive to food allergies, as well. (Side note: If you are gluten-free, Posana in downtown Asheville is a must for dinner! The servers are attentive and the restaurant has a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen. The entire menu was amazing and the pumpkin tiramisu was incredible.) The Malvern Hills Hideaway is located close to downtown Asheville and the surrounding mountain towns. We explored with ease. We appreciate being able to stay in such a wonderful spot tucked away in an ideal location. We will definitely recommend Alice's place to anyone we know headed to Asheville for work or fun.
