Michael's cottage was a wonderful experience! It was in the perfect location for a full Asheville vacation. It was close to downtown so you can experience the amazing restaurants, art galleries, unique shopping, live music, and the nightlife that Asheville has to offer, along with being an easy drive to the Biltmore Estate. But, it was in the middle of a secluded mountainside where you can take a beautiful sunset hike and relax in the peaceful wooded setting. The place was also an easy drive to the more heavy duty mountain hikes and other outdoor activities. You can really have it all - both the city and outdoor experiences! Furthermore, Michael made the stay feel like home. He provided us with all of the basic necessities and more! If there was anything you needed, Michael was always there to help but also gave us the absolute privacy we wanted. Also, if you want to cook instead, the Trader Joe's was just down the street. I can't say enough good things about Michael and his place, and I wish I could have stayed longer. I will definitely stay here again the next time I come to Asheville!
