Great little place! Cute and cozy, good location and lovely communicative owners. Would have been a five star except for the crickets and spiders that came into the place every evening. But this is due to it being fall and a basement apartment. Just more than we could handle.

Charming and Cozy

The house is in a very convenient location and on a quiet street. The hosts were great and very welcoming all throughout the process from booking to the end of our stay. There were a lot of lovely personal touches throughout the vrbo and we really appreciated all the helpful instructions the hosts left for things like the DVD player, a/c, shower heater, etc. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Meka & David

Host profile image
Meka has been in Asheville since 2004. He is a full-time massage therapist, working from home and at the Asheville Salt Cave downtown.
Since 1995, he has also made his livelihood consulting and teaching Natural Building systems such as Adobe, Cob, and Straw-bale, locally and around the world...with a specialty in wood fired ovens and Rumford fireplaces.
David is a Sales Manager for a privately owned Sales Group in the Pet Industry.
We both enjoy puttering around the property (Meka was a Permaculture landscape gardener for 7 years; David loves to tend the gardens and maintain the home and grounds. GrayScott is our home and we hope you will love it too.

Why they chose this property

On our first walk through of this 1942 house, we entered through the basement (what is now the Garden Suite), and were immediately enchanted by the 15" thick stone foundation walls and fireplace. We were looking for a fixer upper with good bones and discovered good bones AND teeth!
We did all the demolition and were hands on in the renovation process from start to finish. The house has all new electrical, plumbing, and central air system.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is a one of a kind labor of love. Meka spent 5 months doing the renovation, adding unique features and special touches to the space. We strive to make sure it is clean and inviting for all who stay with us...even providing fresh ground local coffee and half & half, shower and hand soaps, and tissues/toilet paper.
As avid outdoor people, we hand built the stone wall running the length of the house and are continually creating new planting beds for expanding the garden. Our goal is to create a lush food forest for visitors to enjoy. So far, the edible gardens have fruit & nut trees, berries, native and medicinal herbs, shitake mushroom logs, and seasonal vegetables. Our newest additions are a flock of chickens with a cute chicken coop/garden shed made of repurposed materials.
