We loved our stay at the Sallie Lee Cottage. The period decorations were so lovely, and the layout was perfect for my husband and me and our dog. The location of the cottage was fantastic. We’d very much like to return sometime. Thanks to Christina for the communication during our stay, including recommendations on dog-friendly, casual places to eat.

A lovely place to stay! The cottage was comfortable, clean, and well stocked. It was right around the corner from a cafe that became our go to breakfast spot. Communicating with the hosts was a breeze as well. We would stay here again!

This was a great house. Very charming and cozy. All of the furniture and decor were antiques. The house was very eclectic. There was also parking on site which was great Location is very convenient for getting around, we were a short walk to all the great things that downtown had to offer. The owner was great and extremely friendly. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Asheville!

Cute little historic house with driveway parking. Neighborhood felt safe and kinda funky/fun but quiet. Everything worked and was exactly as described / pictured. Hosts were helpful when we had a question but otherwise gave us privacy. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, historic home. It was our first time visiting Asheville. We found the home very, comfortable and clean. The location can't be beat. Very close to the downtown area and just a short drive to the Biltmore Estate. Our last night, we walked to Tall John's to celebrate my birthday. We absolutely had a wonderful time.
