Wonderful hosts and great location!

We came to asheville for a little less than a week with our two dogs and we were easily accommodated with a private porch with parking directly outside, an attached little fenced in area perfect for our "at-home" needs with the dogs, and a perfect distance away from a park perfect for taking them on a short walk. A good sized bedroom and bathroom with an area to eat and all the space we needed to relax when we weren't out and about. Our hosts sent us a wonderful and detailed list before arrival of dog-friendly and otherwise restsurants and shops that we checked out and were very pleased! Great price for the location! Overall a great stay, would gladly book again!

Great Weekend Mountain Stay!

My husband and I traveled to Asheville for the weekend with our two dogs. The house is exactly as described and in a very cute neighborhood-good for walking the dogs around as well. There’s coffee, a microwave and a mini-fridge, so just enough for a weekend stay (when we were eating out for our meals). We saw Wilco at The Yards, hiked Bearwallow Mountain in Hendersonville, had dinner at Jettie Rae’s Saturday night and ate at Taco Billy’s Sunday for lunch on the way out-all were fantastic and highly recommend! The owners checked in several times, which we so appreciated! I highly recommend this rental!

Perfect Little Weekend Spot

The cottage was super cute and the perfect setup for a weekend getaway. My husband and I and our three pups had a fantastic and comfortable stay. The side porch and rocking chairs for morning coffee was A++++. Hosts were great with communication and onsite, but completely respectful of privacy.
