Very convenient location with a comfortable bed, and also very clean. I really appreciated that they allowed us to bring our dog, who was very comfortable with the accommodations as well. This is a great area and very convenient to anywhere you'd want to get in the Asheville area.

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.

First of all, the hosts of this property are some of the nicest people I have ever met - great communication, accommodation and suggestions for things to do in Ashville. The cabin was super clean and nicely decorated. Location was great - walked downtown every day and evening. Felt very comfortable there with our dog. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!

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.

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!
