"Thank you for the peaceful stay. I so enjoyed walking your grounds, fishing the stream, watching the hot air balloons fly overheard, listening to you play beautiful Celtic music, napping on your porch, reading in the comfy arm chair, and savoring the perfectly prepared breakfast each morning complete with French press coffee and fresh baked chocolate scones! It was a spiritual retreat." (11/10/10)
"Really enjoyed my stay at Fox and Fiddle for three nights just before Thanksgiving. It was fun to stay in a house with character and enjoy your friendship and family. The breakfasts were great! Sure beats staying in a concrete box and eating corn flakes! Thanks again." (12/1/10)

"Of all the B&B's in N.C. I could not have found one that suited me better or that I could have loved more. The experiences here fall right out the big polished wooden doors, down the old stone steps, out the crunchy gravel driveway into the musical streets of Asheville." (2/18/11)
"What a swell place y'all have here! Thank you so much for such a great welcoming stay we won't forget. Everything was great - the music, the food, the hospitality. We will be thinking fondly of our time here and the new friends we made at your sweet inn. Hope to see y'all next year." (3/21/11)
"Y'all have been so kind to me! I've experienced some of the best grace and hospitality during my stay. Perhaps the biggest gift you've given to me is the reminder to express myself through music. I am so thankful for that and everything else. I'm looking forward to seeing y'all when I g et back to NC this fall. Love..." (4/11/11)
"I wanted to tell you what a pleasure it was staying at your lovely B&B. The rooms were very comfortable and cozy, the breakfast was amazing, and your family's company a true pleasure." (5/15/11)
"Since my return to New Hampshire I have reflected a lot on my experience in Asheville and at the Fox and Fiddle. I am grateful to have met all of you and appreciate the hospitality and warmth you shared with me. For me this was an uplifting experience and I feel as though I left a piece of my heart there for safe keeping. I plan to return to the area with the rest of my heart, and with Lisa, when feasible. I look forward to meeting again. Very best regards." (5/15/11)
"Thanks for sharing your lovely & warm home. Thanks especially to Ben for his patience with helping me on the Mandolin. My goal is to practice hard & come back in the future & play music with you." (6/12/11)
"We enjoyed your peaceful hospitality and inspiring musical environment. This part of the country is beautiful and you helped make it perfect with your little neck of the woods. We will certainly call on you again in the future. God bless. You are the "highlight" of Asheville." (6/24/11)
"Oh Joan, James & Family; First of all, we are livid that our stay was only limited to one evening! We so enjoyed your space; looking for worn, colored glass in the creek, lying under the stars and watching the fireflies sparkle on the hill above the river, letting mountain air cover us in our sleep ... It was all divine & we do plan on making the retreat to the F&F again. Much love & light." (6/26/11)
"Thank you! Thank you for making my week comfortable, my tummy happy and my soul at rest. The inn was extremely restful and homey. Y'all do a wonderful job of blending your business with your family and home. I'm looking forward to returning with my family to continue to explore this beautiful area." (7/1/11)
