A Wonderful Week Away

I can't say enough good things about our visit to Le Canard in Arden, NC! Our hosts were so hospitable, friendly, and helpful, with many suggestions for local places of interest, restaurants, and other activities. The location was ideal-- just a short drive to a variety of restaurants and to grocery stores for necessities, and not too much further to downtown Asheville. Virtually any amenity you might need was provided in the cottage, which, by the way, was absolutely spotless! Would I return to Le Canard? Yes, without hesitation! Many thanks to our hosts for making the visit to Asheville absolutely wonderful!

Fabulous rental

Le Canard is quaint and homey, a perfect rental for our 4 adults. The owner really thinks about what you might need and has it there, just in case. It is beautifully decorated inside and landscaped outside. We would like to return in the future.

Charming place with real character located in a great neighborhood that is somehow isolated yet close to everything you need. It is obvious that so much thought and love has gone into the property. Everything you need is here - they treat you like family! Great communication with the host.

Charming cottage, perfect location!

If you love vintage, this is the perfect place to stay! It is centrally located to most anything you would want to do in the Asheville area. The cottage is beautifully decorated in a country French style and the owners include extra amenities such as champagne chilling in the fridge and coffee for the Keurig.

Perfect Place!

This cozy home had a perfect cottage feel. It is located in an established neighborhood with beautiful mature trees and shrubbery. Very well maintained and everything you need to feel like you are in a home away from home. Beds are comfy and it's quieter than a hotel! You are close to all kinds of shopping and restaurants. We hope to return one day!

Lovely French Inspired Cottage

This cottage was perfect for two couples and it was close to Ashville so we could run in for a nice supper. It was also located near good grocery stores and 12 Bones, my favorite barbeque restaurant in Asheville. The decor was cheery and the kitchen was fully stocked so made cooking a fun experience. I would definitely stay here again and enjoy the quiet surroundings.
