This place is great, particularly if you’re looking for a quiet cottage away from others to relax. It’s close enough to Asheville without feeling like you’re in a city, nearby the mountains/forest for great hiking trails, and Arden is a nice little suburb with easy access to stores. The cottage is really adorable with a full kitchen, laundry, hot tub, satellite television, wireless, etc so you can enjoy as much or as little of being off-grid as you’d like. My kids loved all the outside space, the cows and turkeys on property, and the inside was decorated just enough to be cozy without worrying about the kids breaking anything. Would definitely stay here again!
