Larisa Grollemond: This is definitely the place to stay if you're in the mood for a unique and artsy experience. Rooms are comfortable and artfully designed, and the purple penguins will surprise and delight.
Larisa Grollemond: Decent hotel if a little pricey for the location (it has a few restaurants within walking distance but is about a 20 min drive from Asheville), comfortable accommodations and friendly desk folks.
Larisa Grollemond: Great service and amazing food--duck liver was so good. Add on a great cocktail list and cool vibe and you've got yourself a great restaurant!
Larisa Grollemond: Good place for a pedi and a gel mani, they can be a little aggressive with the cuticle cutting but are very thorough and the polish looks great.
Larisa Grollemond: As usual, good prepared foods and deli, though you might have to dodge an army of bros in light blue button downs swarming for their evening sushi.
