Mary was very responsive and welcoming by e-mail beforehand and welcomed us warmly when we arrived. The neighborhood was fantastic, tucked away but convenient. The suite was beautifully decorated, clean and homey. We loved being able to walk in the woods behind the house, walk a little over a mile into town and yet enjoy the quiet and privacy of our suite, deck and lovely garden. Both Mary and Tim gave us helpful suggestions. They were friendly, yet respected our privacy. Staying with them was a real treat. We will surely recommend their place to friends and return ourselves if we get back to Asheville again.
