I had the pleasure of staying in Camille's wonderful Mermaid Cottage for 3 months. I was brought to Asheville for an externship, and I could not have asked for a better place to live. The mermaid cottage is is newly built and has everything you need. It was the perfect size for myself and my cat. The large windows in the bedroom and amount of windows throughout the cottage was really nice. The neighborhood was quiet and close to Haywood St. where you will find cute and unique stores with some very good restaurants and bars. It's a growing area, and a lively place to be. The sights from the cottage and surrounding neighborhood (and really Asheville in general) is so green and fresh, filled with trees, flowers, and many birds... And lots friendly cats! Camille does a lovely job with plants and flowers outside the house. I really enjoyed living in such a beautiful and artistic place. Camille and Olive were so sweet and it was comforting to have them next door. Anytime I needed anything or wanted to do laundry, they opened their house up to me without hesitation. I couldn't have asked for a better living situation, and I feel lucky to have found this little gem. I would love stay here again!
