Pat met me upon arrival to Zen-She, and assisted with carrying my guitar into my guest room. I entered a tastefully decorated space with a sliding door and a large window facing the front. Wall paintings and books on shelves, plus the added touch of current magazines on a rack next to the toilet, defined the expression of being in the library. Pat informed me the house was built to her specifications four years ago. A landscape design with a Japanese garden that is in harmony with the environment is in the back. And, by the way, the West Asheville restaurants and pubs are walkable ( within 10 minutes).
