If you are looking for the perfect location and place to explore Ashville, NC, Camille's Mermaid Cottage is it. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, but one can walk to Haywood Street and find some nice restaurants, especially the Owl Bakery for breakfast. While the cottage does not have a microwave or a TV, you won't even notice because the WiFi is good. It has a galley kitchen, a living area and dining area as well as an upstairs bedroom and bathroom as well as a loft bed for those who like to climb into a tidy nest. Camille provides plenty of dishes, cooking ware and spices. The windows are numerous enough to let in lots of light. The bathroom had tons of towels. Her place has thoughtful touches everywhere from providing a book light to a variety of salts. It takes ten minutes or so to get to the Biltmore and less to get to downtown. We will be back.
