My colleague and I stayed for a long weekend while attending a conference in Asheville. Christine's family's home was a great place to unwind after a long day with a great front porch for sipping coffee (or some local wine or brews), a nice kitchen if you choose to cook (though there are tons of great local restaurants to check out), and very comfortable beds. The house is an easy 10 minutes to downtown but still feels like a private getaway. Christine was a very responsive host and was easily accessible if we needed anything. I highly recommend staying and hope to get back soon for a true vacation!
