To start off, Jakub and Maria's place was a nice change. Relaxing, quiet, comfortable, very clean, and exactly the type of place my wife and I were looking to enjoy. The styling of the residence is more contemporary, as is evident in the photos. The large window, doors, porches play into the natural setting that the house is sited on. It is a very easy and likable way to stay, looking out the window and into the woods. Our visit took place at the transition from winter to spring, so the foliage was a week or so away from starting to bloom.

We were greeted by Lisa, who was very helpful. Our schedule had us arriving in Asheville prior to the 3:00 PM check in. Lisa accommodated our schedule and got us in a little early, as well as suggested a number of local places to visit and hike. My wife and I had our own plans, but revised them based upon some of Lisa's suggestions. We did have one hiccup during our stay. The pilot light on the heater in our room blew out and we could not get it reignited. Lisa popped over the next morning and got the heat working again. We searched for instructions on how to reignite the heat, but could not locate any, yet we tried to no avail. Not a big issue, we added an extra blanket and snuggled up. :)

We did really enjoy our trip to Asheville and the location of Jakub and Maria's place in West Asheville. Plenty of guides and information were made available; some we used - most were glanced at as we went about exploring on our own. When we return, we would stay here again.
