Our family of 4 found this cottage to be comfortable, relaxing, fun, and so enjoyable we did not want to leave. The location was super convenient to the Blue Ridge Parkway, restaurants, and downtown; if you wanted to leave that is. The cottage is so comfortable and enjoyable that our kids (as much as they loved Asheville) were begging to go back to the cottage as soon as we could. And we hope to return one day.
