What was fabulous about the cottage was the proximity to downtown Asheville! Literally 11 or 13 minutes drive, depending on lights and traffic. The cottage itself was clean, with nice furniture, a great kitchen, and just a simplicity to access. Also Starbucks is about a 5 minute drive the hill from the house, which is super nice in the mornings. Also a nice convenient front yard and back yard if you have pets. Very quiet and also nice TV with Roku makes it nice! Also there were extra heaters in each room to help keep the place cozy!
