My first experience visiting the mountainous parts of NC in Asheville with Anne and Nate was one for the books. If you're looking for a place that actually feels like a home with actual kitchenware, spices, books, games this is the perfect retreat away from home that will leave you feeling relaxed and in a positive state when you get back to reality. The way I describe the experience was like hanging with my quirky hippie friends for the weekend. If you're someone who doesn't mind meeting new people then this is for you. I actually didn't even realize that it was going to be a shared space. If you're used to having roommates or living with family this shouldn't be much different than how you normally live. I love that the house smelled like spices and how clean it was. Even getting to sit down with the couple for a cup for coffee and trying their wonderful vegetarian cooking inspired me to want to cook more with veggies and spice. Aside from the house Nate and Anne are just the cutest couple who embody the airbnb spirit with an Asheville flair: fun-loving, easy going, people of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I would visit again.
