We were looking for a place to stay close to Asheville and came across Laurels Rest. Pictures do not do justice to how beautiful this place is. The travel time to downtown Asheville was about 10 mins, which was very convenient location wise. Chris place was clean with many little touches such as trip guides, Roku TV, heater in the bathroom, all the amenities you would expect and beyond, and the complimentary coffee was a plus. Chris was very prompt and greeted us with a friendly hello when we arrived. I would definitely stay here again as well as recommend to anyone looking to stay near the area. It is the perfect home away from home!
