Cindy and Tim's lovely apartment is what you want your own home to be without all the "stuff". It's cozy and spacious, luxurious and comfortable, near but remote, and perfect in big and small ways that you're not expecting from a vacation rental. Exceptionally clean space, stylishly designed, and scaled to the next level with special touches and amenities. we will now always measure future vacation rentals against the standard of excellence in presentation and hospitality offered by Cindy and Tim. The setting is spectacular with views of horse pastures and hills, offering serenity and calmness, yet within easy driving distances to Asheville, Biltmore, Hendersonville, Pisgah Forest and Dupont Forest. Great grocery store nearby with lots of different restaurants to discover. A retreat indeed! Lucy, the charming dog, was a great mascot, and fresh baked cookies and banana bread were waiting to welcome us. Cindy shared with me a black tea that is now my newest tea addiction (Asheville Tea Co), and Tim is a great story-teller and renaissance man. We will never stay elsewhere in the Asheville area.
