Miriam was an excellent host. Her cottage was exactly where you'd want to stay for a weekend in Asheville - close to all the places you want to be! And if you're looking for a "not for tourist's" experience, you definitely want Miriam's advice. We tried almost all of her recommendations and were certainly happy we did! Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Miriam's cottage will definitely be my first pick on my next visit!
