We had a great time! Tom and Mike are excellent hosts - welcoming and responsive. They made us (and our two dogs) feel right at home - the pups give Tom and Mike a 5-paw rating! The cottage is lovely and is a perfect location - close to downtown Asheville but with more of a neighborhood feel. Mike gave us a great walking tour of downtown. He's got a keen insider's knowledge of the history and architecture of the city. All in all, an excellent experience!
