Asheville Mini-moon

The Flamingo was the perfect home base for our mini-moon in Asheville! We had the best time hiking, visiting the Biltmore, going to the Grove Park Inn, and eating our way around town. And we loved that our dog Griffin could join us!

Charming cabin stay

I had a short stay with my 2 dogs, in this charming cabin. Michael was great with communication and very helpful with recommendations. He made sure that I was greeted, and that I had everything I needed during my stay. When I wasn’t helping my daughter pack up her dorm, we explored the botanical gardens, good food, and long walks through the cute neighborhoods. It had everything I needed for my quick trip and beautiful weather for relaxing just outside my door amongst the natural beauty of the garden.

Christmas at the Biltmore

The Cottage was a very convenient location for all things Asheville. Easy access to hiking/biking trails. We tried a few of our host recommended restaurants and really enjoyed them. We loved the Christmas tour at the Biltmore. Highly recommend The Cottage as a location if you are visiting Asheville.

Two Thumbs Up!

I had a wonderful stay at this VRBO in North Asheville! The location was fantastic—quiet yet conveniently close to everything I needed. The space was perfect for me and my pup, with all the amenities to make us comfortable. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made the whole experience seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would return. I highly recommend it!

Quick Trip. Was Lovely.

What an awesome place! It’s old. I’m guessing circa 1920-1930. But it’s been tastefully, artistically, and efficiently renovated. We were very comfortable. The hosts are wonderful. The neighborhood is dog-walkable and close to everything downtown. What a great City Asheville is; and, this place is a jewel in the box.

Quirky Gem

Easy-peasy, clean, quiet & nice people! Gentle welcome to my dog appreciated. Walking access to Trader Joe’s & Whole Foods. We enjoyed Pisgah Forest hikes - about 30 mins drive. Bamboo in the area gave my Viet Nam veteran hub some shivers! But, nothing to do with just right housing.

Best hosts ever!

Adorable property and very dog friendly!The hosts made sure we had everything we needed and were very kind and responsive. Nice neighborhood and several good restaurants very close. Would have been walking distance if the weather was warm. The property was only about a 15 minute drive to the Biltmore. It was a pleasure to be in Asheville again after 20 years.
