Mountain Retreat was a perfect place for our first trip to Asheville. The setting was a peaceful respite among beautiful gardens on a mountain road with spectacular views. The location was perfect for us - close to the city and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The rooms are decorated beautifully and Rob has provided everything you could need - a fully equipped kitchen, hangers in an empty closet, great linens and towels, and literature about the area, just to name a few. Rob is an excellent host. He met us at our convenience and was always available and informative. He shared amazing fresh eggs from his chickens and we enjoyed meeting his sweet dog, Alice. I especially enjoyed sitting out front reading in the evenings among the beautiful flowers and the mountain atmosphere. We've stayed in many Air BnB places and this is the best.
