Tara's place was exactly what we needed. It is up in the hills, about a 15-minute drive from downtown Asheville -- far enough away to feel peaceful and secluded, but close enough to get to Asheville quickly and conveniently. (We never had a problem finding parking in downtown Asheville, either.) The listing was gorgeous inside and out and felt like a mountain hideaway. Tara provided everything we needed to feel at home; we felt clean and safe. Our dog loved it, too! There's not really a great place to take your dog on a long walk around the house -- but that's what all of Asheville's hiking trails are for! We were slightly disappointed that the loft was just for show and could not be accessed, but loved the space all the same. The shower was amazing and the bed was very comfortable.
