Pet friendly cottage located in the woods. Watched the sunrise to the hoots of great horned owls and coyote howls! The fire pit and fire table, along with the screened in porch, were where we spent our waking time. The mattresses were amazing! Loved this place, will return in the future.

We’re always on the lookout for new places to stay when we visit Asheville, and this place was a fantastic discovery! The cottage is stunning, and the view is breathtaking. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches that set this property apart from others we’ve stayed at. Regrettably, we could only stay for one night on our way to Nashville, but we’re definitely planning to return for a longer stay next time.
