The cottage was pretty clean and very cute. The large fenced in area was great for our dog to run around. It took us about 20 minutes to get to downtown Asheville. Grace was nice and very knowledgeable about the area. I do feel that I have to mention that during the 4 nights we were there, her dogs barked on and off throughout the night. My husband is a light sleeper, so he did not get much sleep which is definitely a bummer, especially when you're on vacation.
