We had a great time staying here. Far enough away to not hear the city all night but close enough that it doesn’t take too long to get there. Very clean and well kept. Hot tub was awesome! Overall awesome place for the price!
We enjoyed our weekend away!
Serenity Cottage was perfect for our needs. We wanted a place in a convenient location that had a kitchen and a hot tub and wouldn't break the bank. Make no mistake - it's small. But we didn't feel cramped. The kitchen is tiny but well-arranged and stocked with basic dishes, utensils, pots, etc. We cooked all our meals while there with no problem. Everything was very clean. The living room served our needs as well. It houses a small heating unit that heats the whole house when weather is chilly, as it was when we were there in early January. The heater is a bit noisy, and it is recommended to keep the bedroom door open at night to stay warm. We were worried that the noise would bother us during the night, but it didn't. We both agreed that the bed and pillows were the most comfortable we've had in a VRBO. And the blinds made it dark enough that we slept well. The hot tub was great for two people. No complaints there. It's private enough, although we'd recommend swimsuits, just in case... The only hiccup was our initial arrival, which was in a rainstorm at night, after 6-7 hours of driving, the final 3 of which had been in pouring rain and driving wind. Needless to say, we were tired, and our eyes were tired. There was supposed to be a gravel driveway 20 feet beyond a road - but we couldn't see gravel in the dark and the rain, and there were cars parked in the most promising driveway (we're also not good at estimating 20 feet!) Finally we parked, got out and walked with umbrellas, getting soaked in the process, and determined that the one with the cars WAS the correct driveway. There are several houses off that drive, and the cars belonged to another. We appreciated that the owners had sent a picture of the property from the road - but you can't see it in darkness and rain. So our tip is: pull into the driveway immediately beyond the road. One nice thing about the location is the proximity to many hiking trails. We were there on business, but we hoped to fit in some hikes. The Bent Creek Experimental Forest, Lake Powhatan, and the NC Arboretum are all just a few minutes away. We had a lovely hike from the Rice Pinnacle parking area of the Forest. All in all, we highly recommend Serenity Cottage.
Rented this home for a business trip. The hit tub was excellent and made my whole trip. Hosts were great, very friendly and communicated well! Will return to this lil gem.
We had a great stay at the cottage. It was a great location with surrounding hikes and a short 15m drive to downtown. The place was clean, had plenty of towels and necessities. The hot tub was also clean and kept warm. Communication with the host was phenomenal (very responsive to any questions/concerns). Would recommend for a cozy, low-key getaway!
Sweet little cottage on the outskirts of Asheville, close to the Arboretum and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Easy access to a variety of activities in the area. The hosts were delightful to work with and quick to respond to any questions.
My husband and I had the best time staying here celebrating on our honeymoon. The owners went above and beyond to make our trip special. House was really clean and cozy. The hot tub was so relaxing and one of the best parts of our visit to Asheville. We now want to get a hot tub. I definitely recommend staying here!
We loved Serenity Cottage! It had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. We loved the hot tub in the evening and the back is wonderfully private for that or just sitting out for morning coffee. Would definitely stay again.
This place is exactly as described. It’s clean and private. We loved sitting in the hot tub every night. Also the location has great access to main roads to head downtown. All in all we will be staying at Serenity Cottage the next time we find ourselves in Asheville.
Very nice little cabin. If driving a big pickup or SUV parking could be an issue. Very close to Blue Ridge Parkway and part of Pisgah National Forest. Biltmore is an easy drive. Cabin could use a pitcher in the kitchen.
