Smithson's cottage has a great location -- quiet and private, but still easily accessible to Asheville via multiple roads to get past any congestion, getting you quickly where you need to go. We visit asheville multiple times a year, and always prefer to stay here. The cottage is always clean and nicely decorated. Warm & cozy in the winter and cool & breezy in the summer. Smithson is a considerate host...anticipating and responding to the needs of his guests. We highly recommend this Asheville GEM.
