Excellent location and cozy space! My husband and I stayed for a long weekend with our boxer dog and Dorothy’s space had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, the coffee maker worked well, and the toaster oven and microwave were nice to have, too. There is shared laundry with a washer and dryer where we found the iron and ironing board that we used a few times.
Dorothy and her family were excellent hosts. Very kind and accommodating but also respectful of our privacy and let us do our own thing. She provided some really nice touches like a biscuit tin for the pup, ice packs in the freezer, and even a little bottle of hand sanitizer. She kept the place cool for us, which was a blessing after a long day of hiking in the heat and promoted more restful sleep.
As some other reviews noted, the space is in the finished basement of her home, and sometimes you can hear the pitter-patter of little feet up above (which didn’t bother us in the slightest :). I think the home is well-insulated because we heard absolutely nothing else from the family or the other guests in the neighboring space. The space had a dehumidifier, air circulator/noise maker, and fans to keep the space refreshing. It’s also on a one-lane dead-end street, so coming and going was a little tight for our vehicle since we have an off-road 4Runner, but fine for the smaller vehicles of the residents and other guests. There is a turnaround a short ways down the road where we could turn around and try to angle out of her driveway so that we didn’t stick out into the road too much.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely look to book Dorothy’s place again next time we return to Asheville.
