The host did a great job communicating the check in and check out process, they also had a book of things to do in the area, games to play. The home was very clean, the beds were comfortable. Can't really ask for much more than that.

Nice clean retreat just a short drive to the city and the Biltmore. It was a perfect getaway with my elderly father since all rooms on 1 floor. Everything we needed was close by and the house was decorated cute!!

We could not have asked for better place for old girl friends to gather. Everything was clean, beautiful, and cozy! Little touches like phone charges at the bedside in the master bedroom and a well appointed kitchen with excellent cookware and utensils were wonderful! The hosts are very responsive when we had a question! Was very pleased!

We were in town for our son’s wedding at Yesterday Spaces just a few miles away. The location of this rental was perfect. It was also convenient to the River Arts District. The rental was nicely equipped with the ideal kitchen utensils, pots, pans, a regular coffee maker keurig. The living & bedroom space was awesome for our family’s stay (which included a toddler!). Highly recommend!

Lovely Cottage for Family Stay!

We traveled to the Asheville area to help an elderly family member get settled. The cottage was a great place to have a break from all the work during our time there! There were lovely accommodations for all if us (including our young daughter). Gary and Michelle were excellent hosts and made sure to check on us and make sure everything was good. I definitely recommend staying at this NC cottage!

Nice clean house

First of all, the hosts were very nice and quick to respond. The house is nicely decorated and spacious. It is on a somewhat main road so the car noise can be loud. Hence, the 4 stars. We didn’t understand the messages about earplugs until after the first night. We were expecting/hoping for nicer views in the back or front too but that wasn’t the case. Asheville downtown was about 15-20 min away which was convenient. The hiking and falls are a little further out. Overall, we enjoyed it.

Michelle and Greg were wonderful hosts! The home/listing is just as described, and the road noise is very easy to ignore. My friends and I had absolutely no issues with noise but loved the added sound machines in each room. The kitchen was well stocked for those who like to cook and the home came with plenty of starter supplies, which we certainly appreciated. The one thing we noticed during our trip was that there were several spiders on and around the porches when we arrived / especially at night time, which is to be expected at a remote property in a heavily wooded area. Upon asking the hosts, we were able to knock away all the webs and critters with a broom from inside which did the trick just fine! However, might be nice to include a duster or two for future guests who may run into the same predicament. No critters were found inside the home, and we were very comfortable at this oasis!!

Hi Shannon! Thank you so much for your review! We are delighted you enjoyed your stay! I will order a duster for inside and have sent the handyman over to tackle the spiders outside. I actually may get the termite company to start routinely dealing with bugs in the outdoor areas, as being in the country lends itself to them. I'm happy our cleaners are keeping the inside spotless as that's my pressure point when we stay in other places. We welcome you back any time!
