Asheville

"I will agree with the glowing reviews of Jean-Jacques' wonderful retreat. We found it to be immaculately clean (yay!!) and cozy with beautiful craftsmanship in all the finishings. I took pictures to use as inspiration for a future remodel! So nice to have towels, linens, soaps and paper goods provided. Although my husband's conference was at the Grove Park Inn where most attendees stayed, we preferred something more private with a kitchen and access to nature and this place fit the bill beautifully. It was a bonus that we could bring our pooch with us! And the bonus that I didn't anticipate was the sighting of a mama bear with 3 cubs in tow crossing a nearby road one morning while out on a walk! Tips for future visitors--be sure to find out from Jean-Jacques where to pick up the trails because it is not obvious; if you want to dine nearby I highly recommend the Copper Crown; and if you're thirsty, check out Highland Brewery, also not far away."

"Usually I look forward to mostly the food in Asheville, but this time we were anticipating staying in this home as well! We were deciding between staying downtown in a small loft or this home where we were close enough to downtown, but had plenty of space for 5 adults. There is so much detail and design that went into this home that I would love to hear the story behind it all. Easy to find from downtown and probably could walk it. Very spacious living and dining areas and well equipped kitchen. One bedroom upstairs and two downstairs -- all with a view of downtown and the mountains and excellent bedding and linens. Owner is very helpful and responsive (had an internet issue of which he looked into immediately). What an experience to enjoy this place for a few days -- thank you for sharing your home with us!"
