Valerie is a warm and welcoming host while also giving you your privacy. Valerie's yurt is truly an extension of her amazing ability to create a loving nest to escape to. The yurt was well constructed and had a luxury feel to it for something that wasn't built to be a permanent structure like a house. All the appliances looked new, the lighting created an enchanting ambiance. It was tucked away and private, while at the same time, so close to downtown. I appreciated that Valerie had gone the extra mile to make everything eco, from the cleaning products to the available compost box outside. You could feel the care and attention that had gone into the creation of this truly unique find for an authentic Asheville experience.
