Thank you for contributing your beautiful mountain hideaway to Safe House, for the generosity of this act and because (due to the generosity of my dear friends), I was able to enjoy a 4 day stay here with dear friends. We had a wonderful peaceful and high calorie stay -- the latter due to the fantastic restaurants in Asheville and Waynesville. We particularly enjoyed the Laughing Seed Restaurant in Asheville. Thank you.

8-04 Dear Nina: This whole space is so relaxing -- from the simple, not too cluttered rooms to the colors and paintings. Sitting here listening to the peaceful music, enjoying the calm, I am being renewed. My people are from NC but I have lived in Michigan many years. My deepest heart is here in the Mountains. Anyway, thank you for all the personal touches in our cottage; I needed this. Betty

It was a pleasure spending a restful week in your Mountain Retreat with great views of the mountains and your lovely porch and deck. I was glad my friends from Ann Arbor could join me here to share all of this. Thank you.

Nina: Thank you so much for the beautiful place to stay. There is so much to do and so many beautiful things to see, we ran out of time! Very peaceful place you have here. Some of our highlights were: Mount Mitchell, the Blue Ridge Parkway, white water rafting and the water falls at Big Creek. Check them out!

Nina: I see that my son was the first in my family to make an entry! I could never thank you enough for a week of peace, tranquility and beautiful surroundings and a total “disconnect”. It was wonderful. Kathi and family (including Ryan above) Dear Bellanina: I have heard of the Bellanina Day Spa you own! Your house is in a weird style but I like it. All the paintings in your house are by you, I have realized. Thank you for letting us rent the house. Love, Natalia

Nina, Little did we know as we approached Bellanina what a fascinating place layed within. The original artwork, clever design and comfortable and relaxing environment contribute to the experience. I have especially taken an interest in the percussive instruments and books pertaining to Buddhism (esp Tibetan). I brought digital sampling and recording equipment with the intent of making some music, and used it to record samples of the arious instruments, which I have since sewn together into an interesting collage of sound, all set over the sounds of a North Carolina night. I still don't understand the local obsession with boiled peanuts, but perhaps future visits will offer some enlightenment on this issue. Thank you very much.
