We had a wonderful stay at Alicia's cottage. Everything was as advertised and she deserves all of her positive reviews. She has thought of everything that a visitor could need from coffee, to blankets to a basket of booklets describing all of the wonderful things to do in the Asheville area.
We enjoyed staying in the river arts area with the eclectic mix of people, buildings and art. Just be wary of the narrow roads. The cottage is a short car ride from anywhere in the area. It is next to the highway but the noise was only noticeable on weekday mornings. If you are particularly sensitive to it, Alicia has even included a sound machine and earplugs in the bedroom. We will stay here again when visiting Asheville.
