Mary is a lovely and gracious host. She was very responsive to all our questions and made sure she knew when we were coming so she could be ready. We were received warmly upon arrival, given the quick rundown, and we were quickly off to Asheville adventures.

The room is a brand new addition with a more than adequate attached private bath. The bedroom is very large with lots of storage and has a private entrance.

Her home is old and historic, beautifully maintained, and they kept the same theme for the addition. Lots of character there. We really enjoyed it.

Breakfast was minimal but just what we were looking for, a quick coffee and maybe a biscuit then out the door. She had a nice coffee service waiting for us with biscuits one day and a muffin the next, perfect.

Seemed like an intriguing property but we didn't have time to explore. One thing we did enjoy was a nitecap on our private patio directly off our bedroom.

Infinitely more desirable than a hotel room and probably a lot cheaper. We made a great choice.
