The property was clean and well equipped with everything we could need for our stay
perfectly quaint, very clean. Perfect for 2-3 people. Only downfall is the place has zero pots and pans, so you can't cook. Other than that- it's wonderful.
Great property at very convenient location. Looks like recently updated. Very clean, welcoming and comfy. Would stay here again.
It was a lovely vacation
Overall wonderful trip with plenty of room for us to spread out instead of being cramped up in a hotel room. The kitchen and bathroom were nicely renovated and had everything we needed. Thank you for an awesome get away!
Such a cozy spot with all the necessities of home.
Everything was perfect! Loved staying there! Close to airport and Blue Ridge Parkway!
Central to all our planned trips & more! Nice parks, mountain hiking and tours. Quiet neighborhood even the occasional train was great to hear nearby, just watch out for falling acorns?️ Host even did a last minute warm jester to welcome us in! Thanks!!
The home was very nice but uncomfortably warm throughout the stay. Most especially for my mom who has asthma, COPD and uses Oxygen at night. There is no working HVAC and we were instructed by the person of contact to run the available window unit that is in a living room window and turn on all ceiling fans. this means that you have to keep all bedroom doors open at night (no privacy). i was told that it would cool as the nighttime temperature outside dropped but it didn’t cool down enough to be able to close the bedroom doors or turn off the fans. in addition to being warm i was kept awake by the oxygen machine running in the other room. Also, i didn’t notice until we got there but one bed doesn’t have a frame, it’s just on the floor. so i assume that was why that bed was horribly uncomfortable. All in all , i probably wouldn’t have booked this stay if the listed had been clear about the lack of HVAC / central air.
The house was adorable and had everything we needed and more!
House was very clean and cozy. Nicely updated and tastefully decorated, right up the Street from Rocky’s Hot Chicken (which is also amazing). Fully enjoyed our stay, the beds were fantastic, the bunk bed in the second room would be great for kids. Thank you for a clean, safe stay!
Went to Ashville with my wife and brother for a concert. Enjoyed the stay. Nice neighborhood very close to grocery stores and stuff. Lake Jullian park was cool too right up the road.
We arrived at the house a little over 30 minutes early and had to contact the property manager to get in. They contacted the owner, who quickly reset the key code. We were very pleased with the inside of the property, which was well appointed and very clean. The outside was not as well kept, which concerned us until we got inside. This appears to be a fairly new property and we assume that the interior took precedence. A few suggestions for the property owner/manager would include outdoor seating on the patio, and better attention to the yard. Overall though, it was a lovely stay.
Reserved this rental in February. From beginning to end, everything went as it should have gone. Everything from the price, location, depiction, check in, and communication with the property manager from beginning to check out was great! Pictures are accurate and it’s a really great location. I would DEFINITELY recommend this to anyone having any business or seeking a cozy vacation spot for any amount of time. It’s well stocked, the appliances are new and I’m great shape, and it’s well stocked with utensils, pots and pans. I could go on and on, but I’m hoping by now, you’re able to get the picture I’m painting.
Check in process was simple. We could have checked in a half hour early. Very accurate description and depiction. Well stocked, very clean, and minutes away from Asheville itself, as well multiple beautiful locations. No issues with shady individuals, pet friendly, and comfortable. Definitely recommend!!
Very cute and clean! would stay there again!
Cozy, clean house, comfortable beds, nice bathroom and kitchen. Fast internet. The location was just ok. It was close to some restaurants and grocery stores, but the neighborhood had a few dogs that barked often. There are train tracks running in the back, but we only heard the train once in the afternoon.
The rental was great for two couples and our fur babies. The house was nicely done and mattresses were new and very comfortable. Easy communication with owner and they were so nice and accommodating. Would definitely stay again.
My 2 sisters and I enjoyed the cottage so much! It was beautiful, newly renovated and beautifully appointed. You were supplied with everything you could possibly need from the kitchen to the bedrooms. Little thoughtful touches were added that made it very homey. Very comfortable!
Renting the property was easy and efficient
Very nicely restored. There is a damp odor from the basement
Very impressive little cottage, everything we needed and nice location.
