My sister and I spent three nights in Gretchen's lovely and spacious home during our first visit to Asheville. It met our needs in so many ways....close proximity to the city, a safe and quiet neighborhood and clean and comfortable furnishings. Gretchen was a kind and welcoming hostess. Our bedroom was tastefully appointed with whimsical touches and quality linens. We also loved the hardwood floors throughout the house as well as the guest refrigerator in the kitchen and morning coffee/tea. Amos (4 y.o. golden retriever) was friendly and adorable! We would absolutely recommend this house to anyone!
