We loved our stay at Sam's Cottage. It's convenient to downtown Asheville (about an 8-minute drive/$7-$10 Uber ride), and even closer to the Grove Park Inn, but is far enough removed to be nice and secluded. It also sits rights off of a perfect little cut-through that spits you out right onto the Blue Ridge Parkway. Katherine was so nice to leave us local beer and coffee, too. It was the perfect getaway for our first anniversary!
