We and our son and two teen granddaughters really felt at home at this house on Lovers Loop in S. Asheville. The rooms were clean and baths well stocked. The kitchen has all we needed for our meals. The fenced yard was perfect for our two small dogs. Peaceful and quiet at night and we watched the full moon while toasting marshmallows. Check in was smooth and guidelines were helpfully posted.We hope to return next year.

Great place to stay

Spent a week in Asheville with my wife recently - great house. Extremely clean, great features and well taken care of. We both worked remotely for the week and had no problems with internet, etc. Meanwhile the house was extremely convenient to nearly all of Asheville to enjoy the city. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area.

We stayed for a week at Cottontail Cottage during Christmas. We were very pleased with the rental. The host responded quickly to the booking request. The house was clean and well-organized. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and dining in. The beds were very comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and bedding. The fenced-in yard was a massive bonus for our two dogs. The ping-pong table was a lot of fun and a great way to wind down after exploring Asheville. The house is centrally located; everything you need is within 5-20 minutes away. This is our new go-to place when we stay in Asheville.

Wonderful cottage. Very nice and perfect location. Upon checking in we found that the cable TV box didn't work. We contacted Blackbeard Realty (the property management company) who failed to respond for three days. Fortunately we had several streaming accounts and were able to watch Netflix and others. The management company didn't know if the owner simply didn't have cable tv or if it simply wasn't working. We're fortunate that we had no real issues or I doubt they would have been resolved.The cottage is very nice and well maintained. The owner could do better in selecting a management company to handle their property.

Glenn, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we're pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at Cottontail Cottage and appreciated its convenient location, we sincerely apologize for the frustration surrounding the cable TV. There was a service outage that created some confusion, but our team at Greybeard Rentals did respond directly after receiving your message. Providing timely responses and clear information is something we strive for, so we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will certainly investigate the potential gap in communication to prevent such occurrences from happening in the future. We're glad you were still able to have a fantastic mountain retreat, and we hope you'll consider staying with us again so we can provide you with a smoother experience next time!

spring break with college aged children

The house is excellent. Warm, inviting and clean. The location is right off the highway but in a wooded neighborhood so it felt very accessible but also away from the hub bub. We brought our dog, the yard was perfect for him. Kitchen has everything you need and the beds were comfy. Highly recommend!

Great stay close to downtown

This is a great home! We were impressed with how clean and clutter-free the property was and with the clear (and concise) check-in/check-out directions from the property management company. There were ample towels and supplies, and the bed was comfortable. This house is also nicely situated in a quiet area, but very easily accessible to the downtown and Biltmore. We were able to easily return to check on our pets throughout the day without having to do a lot of driving. We also appreciated the updated shower, appliances, etc. and the decor. We will definitely look to stay here again!
