Highly Recommended!Justin, Autumn, and Cedar are wonderful hosts, and their property is an absolute gem! It is clean, beautifully laid out, and perfect for a small family or a group of friends.Perfect Location: We loved walking to downtown shops, restaurants, museums, and the local minor league baseball stadium (Go Tourists!).A Peaceful Hideaway: Even though we were less than a mile from the downtown, the property felt completely relaxing and quiet.Great Amenities: We spent our mornings drinking coffee outside listening to the birds, and our evenings unwinding on the big, comfy couch watching movies on the projector screen.Convenient Sightseeing: It is a quick, under-10-minute drive to the Biltmore Estate. It is also close to hiking and other attractions.If you need a wonderful two-bedroom home base in Asheville, I cannot recommend this place highly enough!
