The baked goods were amazing! Every comfort was thought of for guests. We had a great time.

Jill United States of America

Rented e bikes and had a blast. One of the highlights of the stay and they were conveniently on site.

Michael United States of America

This is a beautifully restored home with wonderful attention to detail. We spent three nights here. The house is a throw back to a different era and feels warm and welcoming. Our large room on the first floor was perfect and the bathroom tastefully redone. The parlor, living room and dining room are decorated in authentic period furniture. Breakfast each morning was two courses of deliciousness, Sheri is a wonderful chef. She bakes three kinds of cookies and leaves them, individually wrapped, in the front parlor. What a treat! The front porch was a wonderful place to sit and unwind, in fact we enjoyed our breakfast there one morning. Sheri and Chris are friendly, helpful, and great hosts. The house was spotless, the location an easy 5 minute drive into downtown Asheville and easy access to everything. We will certainly go back!

Ivy United States of America
