Seven Oaks Cottage was a perfect base a week-long exploration of Asheville and it's surroundings for my mother and me. Spotlessly clean, with two bedrooms, comfy queen beds and pillows, a fully equipped kitchen, small eating area, spacious living room, views of the surrounding hills -- who could ask for more! Plus there were many thoughtful touches like gourmet coffee and tea, natural cleaners and toiletries, fluffy towels, umbrellas, a collection of local tourist information and maps, flat screened TV and Roku, and many more. The location was great with easy access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, about mile to Tunnel Road ( leading to downtown Asheville) and Ingles supermarket. There were also very good restaurants nearby. All in all, I give Seven Oaks my top recommendation!
