Cozy Retreat
I brought my older parents to Asheville primarily to tour the Biltmore Estate, and also check out Asheville in general. Meka and David’s cozy Grayscott apartment did not disappoint! It was very clean and comfy upon arrival, and had everything we needed. We were so happy to be so close to everything (I mean, literal minutes!) Meka greeted us, and was so very friendly. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. It’s a quiet, cozy location, located so closely to everything you could want to see. We will definitely be back. Thank you, Meka and David, for sharing your beautiful home :)

Peaceful, private, and lovely designed spot!
What an adorable place! My son and I traveled down from PA to buy a car and it was the perfect space for the 2 of us. You can tell all the touches were created with a loving design including the appealing and useful storage spaces, cozy bed pod, built in bed reading lights, gorgeous bathroom, and private entrance. Love the beautiful kitchen area with live-edge wood. I especially loved that this place was so well equipped with all we needed. And YAY for comfy beds! Nothing beats a good bed when traveling. Meka and David were also so responsive and attentive. Lots of good material and brochures for finding places to visit and eat. This place is tucked away in a neighborhood so very quiet, too.

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.
