We just completed a week's stay at Lindsay and Darren's place and I couldn't recommend it more for families visiting the Asheville area. The house proved to be the perfect homebase for all of our explorations in the area. Only 15 minutes to downtown eats and drinks, and less than an hour's drive to all of the incredible hikes and outdoor activities in the area. (Many even closer.)
Lindsey was the best host. I had a million questions leading up to our trip and she always responded right away. She even connected us to a wonderful babysitter so my wife and I could enjoy a special occasion dinner on our own without the kids.
Speaking of kids - if you are traveling as a family, Lindsey's house could not be more fun for the kiddos! The trampoline proved to be the MOST EXCITING activity of the whole trip for our five year old :)
