I loved staying in Valerie’s cottage guesthouse! It was clean and comfortable - the perfect size for me, my husband and our dog. The home is located off a street that brings you right to downtown Asheville, while still being surrounded by beautiful scenery. It is also very close to the Glen and Reeds Creek Greenway, which I enjoyed running and walking my dog on, and takes you straight to the Asheville Botanical Gardens. I appreciated the effort Valerie put into the guest information binder. She recommended a lot of great activities, a few of the hikes we ended up doing. One of my favorite parts of the home itself was that Valerie provides a Polaroid camera for you to take a picture of your dog, and then you can hang that photo up along with the photos of the other dogs who have been guests. Very cute and welcoming!
