The house was exactly as described. Remote enough to feel like you are getting away, but the perfect distance to explore Asheville. My mom and I are huge clean freaks, and Matilda's home was immaculate. Also at every turn in the house there was a thoughtful touch. Coffee on the deck in the morning admiring fall foliage was a delightful experience. We would go back in a heartbeat. Matilda was responsive and helpful when we needed. It was truly a fantastic trip.
