From the moment we pulled into the driveway, Norma and Jim made us feel as if we were long lost friends. Their home is clean, neat and artfully decorated with many beautiful pieces made by Norma. We were given a tour of the house and walked in to a warm room with hot tea waiting. Norma and Jim made accommodations for my daughter's food allergies and having a delicious breakfast each morning was a huge help for our family. The hospitality we received went above and beyond what we expected. While we had wonderful evening conversations, we always felt that we had privacy and space. I would love to stay with Norma and Jim (and their adorable dog Casper) again. They are truly the most gracious hosts and I learned much from them and treasure the conversations we had. Their home is so close to downtown, but out of the traffic. We were very close to Whole Foods, and a wonderful playground that our daughter loved. The Blue Ridge Parkway is also a short drive away. I highly recommend staying here during your time in Asheville.
