The cottage was as advertised and a cozy place to come home to after a day in Asheville. It was not as far as we feared from downtown Asheville, so it made a trip to Biltmore and an evening at a local brewery quite convenient. We stayed with another couple, so really the only drawback would be sharing a bathroom, doable but not always preferable. We only stayed for one night, so cannot speak to how well the kitchen was stocked, but the living area was just right for hanging out with friends. The host provided wifi and free long distance to address the fact that cell coverage is iffy in the neighborhood. All in all, a great value for the price and certainly a "redo" in our book.
