Wonderful stay in Arden

This house was one of the best rentals we have used for vacationing! It was a multigenerational trip with oldest being 70 and youngest 11. Very clean, well organized and great views! Also very well stocked, all bathrooms had hand soap and toilet paper for our stay. Located right near south Asheville, Arden was the perfect location to either pop into Hendersonville or Downtown Asheville. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Mountain hideway

Was a great place to getaway and enjoy the mountains. The heating and cooling systems are a bit challenging to navigate but they can be mastered so you are comfortable. During our stay, it required air conditioning in part of the day but heat at night.

We enjoyed a short weekend stay at the Royal Cottage. I was unsure of where to stay when planning our trip, but this location worked well. Pros: *Views! I loved sunrise over the backdrop of the mountains. *The master bed was comfortable. *Having the 3 bedrooms upstairs with 2.5 bathrooms suited our family well. *We spent little time at the house, but it is stylish and I like the relaxing colors of the master bedroom. *Quiet, residential neighborhood up a winding road and hill. *Not too far from Ashville and other communities like Black Mountain. * Near Biscuit-Head and Rocky’s Hot Chicken * We did not cook, but the kitchen seemed well equipped. *Complete binder with instructions and suggestionsCons: Anyone who would not like stairs or a steep driveway should avoid. Otherwise, a great selection with a cozy feel with nice scenery.
