Wonderful! I won't repeat everything already written below except to confirm that this place is everything depicted and more. Very homey, comfortable, great backyard (seriously!), dependable internet and easy to get to Asheville/points of interest. I will comment on the area: we were a bit disappointed initially when we saw we weren't going to be in a proper town but that should not have been a concern at all. The area is very safe, we met several neighbours (all very friendly) and we ate at several local restaurants. 151 Restaurant is where 'everyone knows your name' and were the friendliest people we have ever met! I don't think I ever spoke to as many strangers as I did that day! I honestly think they will remember us when we go back... We went to Miami restaurant one morning for breakfast solely based on Google reviews - and I'm glad we took the chance. Located at the back end of a dilapidated rundown motel, I wanted to turn around! But, there was almost no parking, the place was packed and again such friendly people, including a table of state troopers we talked with who were very helpful. Lastly we can't recommend Doc Brown's BBQ enough! However, it's best to go in to order instead of online so you can see the specials (and definitely 'go large' for a dollar! You'll thank me.)
The best thing I can write about our experience is we kept saying we can't wait to come back to the area, and we hope that Candyland Cottage is available when we do. Thank you Steve and Francia - you have a wonderful little gem here!
