Our family was visiting the Asheville area but wanted a laid back location where we could walk to restaurants and shops. The cottage was perfect! It’s a 3-10 minute walk from the adorable downtown area full of shops and restaurants. The neighborhood was very safe, quiet, and friendly (a lot of people walking, running, and sitting outside waving as we passed). There are some houses on the street that seem to be under going repairs, and at first glance might seem questionable, but we stayed for 5 days and had zero issues with any neighbors or noise, and felt safe leaving our teen and pre-teen at the cottage while we went to the local grocery store (Ingles, a few minutes drive). The cottage itself is very cute and updated. It had everything we needed to cook meals. It has a lot of board games to enjoy. The beds are very comfortable, and we all enjoyed the hot tub in the cute backyard. We were a little concerned initially with only having one bathroom for four of us, but it was never an issue! Overall, we greatly enjoyed the cottage and would definitely stay again!
