I think I've found my new happy place. I travel a fair bit for work, and each time I go somewhere new, I try to use Air BnB rather than hotels for many reasons. Chiefly, it allows me to explore a neighborhood more fully in my downtime, and this spot proved to be no exception.

The other thing that happens on such trips is that I am reminded of how little space and stuff I really need to survive. Living in SF, I don't have a ton of space to begin with, but we make the most of it. Efficient use of space has become a way of life, and I am always impressed by those who appear to adopt this ethos as well. John & Lori have done a marvelous job converting their back building into a functional, livable, beautiful, and comfortable space. It's evident that they put a lot of thought into every detail, and their enthusiasm in doing so really went a long way toward an incredibly comfortable and low-drag stay.

As hosts, they were incredibly accommodating when I needed an extra night on the front end of my trip. We were driving in from Greenville via Asheville, and wanted to beat the weather. "No problem - come on in, we'll take care of the details in the morning" is my paraphrase of their reply. And they did just that! All in all, smooth sailing. The lights were on, the heater was fired up, and there were even snacks + beverages available for us when we showed up!

I'd HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for a weekend getaway, comfortable accommodations on a business trip, or a nice quiet place to write your next, great American novel. John & Lori are the best hosts I've encountered, and I hope others can learn from their brand of Southern hospitality. I'd give six stars if I could - they've earned it!

From one (displaced) Southerner to another, thank you John & Lori!!

Best,
