Tia is a very responsive hostess, she got us checked in very quickly and gave us great tips about the area and how to find local attractions and events. We enjoyed the big grill in the back yard every night that we were there. It has gas available for use and also has a charcoal side, we used charcoal mostly. There is a good size garage for secure parking and entrance into the house, if if you bring bikes or other equipment you would like to store in out of the weather. The house has everything you will need for the kitchen l, just bring the food! The large room upstairs would be great for anyone traveling with children. It’s a very central location to anything you may want to get to In Asheville. It took us about 15 minutes to get to and from our destination each day. The front and back porch areas are both very inviting. The neighbors just to the right in the back have beautiful dogs, one we thought was a small bear at first sight. The neighbors to the left have beautiful flowers which they seem to put a lot of effort into, it was a nice neighborhood, but private enough for hanging out in the evenings around the grill in the back yard. There is a small fire pit also. A real home away from home!
