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!

This cute and comfy house felt very private and secure. The kitchen had everything we needed, the appliances worked great (especially the washer and dryer), the TV was easy and the beds were comfortable. The hosts also provided clear and easy instructions. Very glad we found this place!

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!

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!!

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.

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!

This property was perfect for our short family getaway. We enjoyed Asheville and all it had to offer and were thrilled that it was only a short drive from the house.
