The location was great, it was offset enough for us to feel like we were living permanently in Asheville, yet close enough for us to have access to a lot of great restaurants and cool things to visit. We enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoyed relaxing a bit on the front porch before heading out for the evening. The cottage provided us our own space to decompress and have a little quiet time. Heads-up, Asheville is very busy during the summer, so pro-tip, book restaurant reservations in advance.
