Perfect location a short walk up the hill to Grove Park Inn, lots of bears in the neighborhood - even an albino squirrel (see photo). Very quiet place in a serene residential neighborhood, and nicely appointed with shopping amenities and downtown Asheville nearby. It was our 2nd visit. We will be back!

Lovely first visit to Asheville

We wanted to see the art galleries in Asheville and the Chihuly glass exhibit at the Biltmore Estate, but didn’t want to stay there (as friends had). This beautifully renovated cottage sits uphill from the owner’s home next to the entrance of the Grove Park Inn in a very nice older neighborhood. Very comfortable for the two of us. Highly recommended!

Great Getaway

We stayed at the cottage for a long weekend. It is located in a great neighborhood located on the same road as the Grove Park Inn. The cottage is perfect for 2 people and had everything we needed to stay in and eat in Iif we wanted to, even a gas grill! The farmer’s markets have great locally grown produce. There are lots of great brewpubs and restaurants nearby (downtown is about a 5-10 minute easy drive). Bones and Broth is right down the hill and is very good. Also, having drinks and appetizers in the lobby and patio of the Grove Park Inn was very enjoyable. The Biltmore is also a fun day trip. We enjoyed the Chihuly exhibit, the house tour and the winery tasting. Craig was a great host and had a bottle of Biltmore wine waiting for us at our arrival. We would definitely stay again the next time we visit Asheville.

Charm Throughout

Cozy historic cottage renovated with thoughtful modern touches while maintaining historical charm—we visited for an anniversary weekend jaunt to Asheville. Comfy bed, plush linens and towels with great water pressure and shower head. Owners live on property close to rental. Stone steps from street level parking pad to cottage are sturdy and even. Welcome bottle of wine from Biltmore House, coffee, tea, hot kettle, coffeemaker with filters and sugars all provided. Will stay here again next visit to Asheville-also fabulous location to Grove Park Inn literally 1/2 mile up the street, 15 mins to Biltmore; 15 to RAD, and 15 to Blue Ridge Pkwy.
