Six years ago, before I was using Airbnb, I stayed at Bon Paul & Sharky’s and had a blast. The place still has its’ character and sense of humor. There wasn’t much on Haywood at the time but what there was, was really good. Now after coming back to Asheville and making trips in the last year or so, I’m shocked to see how much stuff has seemingly dropped out of the sky or magically materialized overnight. It’s good to see this clean, comfortable, cozy-cool, roost for travelers still tending the homestead. Bon Paul & Sharky’s remains in the middle of it all and never skipped a beat in its’ perpetual quest to ensure an excellent stay. So now, more than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Pisgah and look East, “and with the right kind of eyes, you can almost see the high-water mark, that place were the wave finally broke and rolled back.” Sit back and bask in the breathtaking genius, come one, come all; witness! as they lock in and sustain that sweet boogie to the ultimate groove.
