Pros for the rental:
Completely clean
Very comfortable with nice warm lamps and comfortable couches
Well stocked kitchen - coffee and snacks!
Nice beds (wonderful box fan!!)
Fantastic courtyard and garden, with vegetables available to eat!
Hooks - I love to be able to hang everything up to either air or dry.
Very friendly and accommodating hosts who are just next door so are available if needed, or will leave you alone if not.
Location 20 mins to Chimney Rock - our favorite hiking place
Cons: NONE!
Rebecca and Michael were lovely hosts. Rebecca even brought over additional books when I asked about waterfalls. There is so much good information provided, in the rental, including a hand drawn map showing where the local coffee shop and grocery shops are. Sitting in the courtyard, you do feel like you're in an oasis, though it would be easy to get just about everything you need within a short walk or a short drive (Dollar General a few mins away by car for items beyond a grocery store). I enjoyed the feel of the rental, with its beautiful floor, controllable track lighting and warm lamps. Also enjoyed that the surfaces were available for use, not cluttered.
Thanks so much for a lovely stay!
