Great Mountain Retreat

We loved our stay. It’s quiet and remote yet about a 20 minute drive or so to everything we wanted. The apartment was spacious, fully stocked kitchen if we wanted to cook - but ended up eating out. I loved the soaking tub and the bed was comfortable. Would definitely recommend for longer trips. Close to plenty of hiking spots.

The best relaxation

Wow, everything about this place was amazing. Getting to be so far away from civilization, but also it being a short drive to access everything around this neighbor, I can't even begin how peaceful it was. We were able to build a fire in the pit, enjoy the tub, and go into downtown as much as we needed.

What a beautiful place, clean and roomy in a nice quiet area , we loved having breakfast outside. The bed was very comfortable too , which is so important after hiking all day . The only thing we would suggest is a table and couple chairs outside 😊

Wonderfully refreshing, quiet stay in the mountains

The apartment was exactly as advertised and just what my wife and I needed for a quiet mountain getaway. The property and neighborhood are beautiful and offer a secluded feel, while still being close enough to Asheville that we had plenty to do if we wanted to get out. Victoria is a wonderfully thoughtful, considerate host and we had a marvelous time. Highly recommended!

Very nice couple. Responsive to communication and followed all the guidelines in our handbook. Had a great time hosting them! We even had a chance to hang out a bit and just talk over dinner together. One thing that impressed me was that they cleaned up after themselves and left the place very neat. Recommend 100%!

Great getaway!

The property was exactly as pictured and Victoria was extremely helpful and accommodating. The house is a short drive to downtown Asheville and close to a lot of nice hiking trails which we enjoyed. Victoria was always willing to help without being intrusive. Although the property is part of her home, it was very private. We never saw anyone or heard any noise. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Enjoyable

Clean and nice location. It was close to Biltmore and downtown. These rooms are on the lower level of their home but you enter with no steps and through the garage. We could even park our car inside. The entrance was private. The hostess supplied the rooms with many kind amenities from inviting decorations to wine and chocolates.

Perfect Stay!

Our stay was wonderful! Just a few thoughts about our trip: 1) Host is extremely polite and genuinely cares about you staying at her home. It is evident that she wants your trip to be the best trip that it can be 2) Very clean 3) Bed is actually quite comfortable 4) House & location of house is in a beatiful area, and is within ~18-22 minutes of Asheville & Biltmore I loved it- this house was a hidden gem. I will admit that I am usually a little hesitant ( and feel awkward) about access to a room rather than the house, but this stay was amazing. The room truly feels detached. Host was just top notch. I would recommend this location to anyone going through Asheville; I am honestly shocked that we found it- this is the type of room that books up very quickly.

Cozy apartment with Convenient location

We had a great experience in this lovely apartment. It was very clean and well furnished. It was nice being able to park in the garage with the chilly mornings. The location is very convenient and driving in the neighborhood by Lake Biltmore with the colorful changing of the leaves was awesome. The owner was very helpful and available if we needed her.

Hello, we stayed at Victoria's cottage over this past weekend and we had a great stay. This is a one bedroom/ one bath style apt with everything you need. The washer and dryer came in handy after a full three days worth of hikes and water rafting. Victoria, was very responsive and checked in on us when we least expected. The cottage is in a nice neighborhood and you will see deer walking by. We had a deer right outside the glass doors one morning, which was pretty cool. If your in need for a place to stay for one or two people, I would recommend cause its convenient, close to Asheville and the hiking trails. Thanks, Juan

Perfect spot! Wonderful Owners!

To start off it was a easy process with check in and the communication was awesome. Directions to the apartment were very GPS friendly. The view and ride it was very beautiful and scenic. Very close to Asheville roughly 15 minute ride, close but far enough away that you don’t have to deal with the city traffic. Very Comfortable on the inside spacious for the two of us.The communication with the owners were spectacular, super friendly And communicated very well checking on us throughout our stay. We love the experience and would highly recommend it for others.

Quiet and comfortable

This is a very nice, quiet apartment with a well equipped separate kitchen. There is a sliding glass door from the bedroom and living room area which leads out to a place to sit and enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in the morning. The surrounding area is beautiful, including Biltmore Lake. My wife loved the bath tub. Victoria stayed in touch to make sure everything was OK (which it was). We loved staying there and will return. For those looking for a beer, Wicked Weed's production facility with a tasting room is a short drive away.

Great Location

We had a wonderful time, albeit short. It was not too far from Asheville and the drive into the neighborhood was scenic. The property was clean and well stocked. However, we did find some coffee grinds in the dishwasher which could have been easily missed, and a dirty pan that the previous occupants did not do a good job of cleaning and just stuck it back in the cabinet. The kitchen was well stocked. The owners of the property actually lived upstairs from the rental so communication was really convenient. They helped us adjust the thermostat quickly and easily while we were out. We will definitely return to this location.

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Tcacenco

Host profile image

I was born and raised in Moldova. My family and I moved to the United States in 2010, and became naturalized citizens in 2016. For many reasons, Asheville charmed us. Its beautiful, peaceful, and naturally home-y atmosphere, so we decided to settle here. I graduated from AB-Tech Community College as a Dental Assistant in 2014. From my first day of assisting , one of the first things I noticed was that I love to take diligent care of patients.
I also love spending quality time with my family and strive to be the best wife for my husband and loving mom to my precious children. I enjoy reading books, hiking, decorating the house to be cozy. I also love cooking tasty recipes for my family :) Making creative things with my hands is one of my dearest hobbies -- which helped me to warm up Victoria's Cottage.
