This was a wonderful place to stay in Asheville. We have family in the area, but needed a place to stay while passing through town for a night and visiting them. The cottage was adorable and comfortable, and somehow felt like it was in the middle of a nature reserve, yet was convenient to everything (amazing neighborhood). Michael was very accommodating while making our last-minute reservation and had everything ready when we arrived (including easy key code access to the cottage and a great gift basket of goodies -- you'd be surprised how wonderful that is to walk in to after a long car ride). The off-street parking and private driveway are great assets as well. You can practically pull up to your front door which makes for easy unloading/loading. We were not around during the daytime, so we were not affected by the temporary construction next door at all. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer!
