Steven·5·Oct. 2022· "We were so impressed with this beautiful home. Everything was so tastefully and thoughtfully decorated, and so many details of what guests might need or enjoy were graciously anticipated. The hosts bent over backward to check in and offer assistance. The home itself was a lovely historic gem just a short distance from the historic downtown (walking or driving). You can also easily walk to a few places to get a quick coffee or bagel. This was my partner's first time renting a home and when we next went to a bed and breakfast in Asheville immediately following Lexington he said he wished we were back at Dave and Steve's place. It left quite an impression and we are so grateful for the opportunity to have stayed here."
