Asheville, North Carolina, United States | A B&B experience in an impeccably rebuilt home. Easy walk to Downtown

Host(s):

Bob Talley Bob Talley
Over the years, I have traveled to 39 countries on six continents and the very best visits have been when I stayed in friends' homes, with friends' families or even friends of friends.
Louisa's Porch is available to you for the intimacy of vacationing peacefully in a home where you are expected to "make yourself at home". Kick off your shoes, read a book, watch fire flies from the front porch.
--> Come visit me and spend a long weekend or week in cool, green Asheville, NC.
We Speak: English
To book, please enquire with host.
The host will quickly provide you with a custom quote you can book.
Lodging Type: Bed and breakfast

Summary:

A stay at Louisa's Porch will be a restful retreat but within a six minute walk to many exceptional restaurants and excellent shopping. The building is more than 100 years old but has been totally rebuilt from the inside. As a contributor to an important Historic District, the house facade has been maintained.
