We didn't have much time to really chat and get to know our hosts. Jeff greeted us and showed us our room and the common areas of this lovely 1912 home. They were making some renovations, which both Jeff and Rita apologized for, and the living room area was full of furniture while they were painting the music room, but that didn't bother us as we were only there for one night, as we had a wedding to attend in town. Only issue for us, which would normally not be an issue for Asheville, is that the house has no A/C - the bathroom was warm, as was the hallway and kitchen, but our room did have a window A/C, which was, unfortunately, fairly noisy. The bed was very comfortable, but being a light sleeper the A/C did keep me awake. We sat in the outside lanai area and enjoyed a glass of wine while chatting with the other guests. The location for us was perfect. We would definitely stay again when the weather is cooler!
