Kevin was very easy to correspond with before our visit. He wasn't home when we arrived, but he sent detailed instructions and left helpful brochures and maps in the cottage so we wasted no time getting oriented to Asheville. The cottage was even better than the pictures suggest . It was immaculate, well-organized, cozy, and exceptionally quiet because it's situated on the back of a lot on a cul-de-sac of the leafy historic Grove Park Inn neighborhood. The location is very convenient--less than 10 minutes' drive from downtown with easy access to the highway. We didn't cook much at the cottage since Asheville has a reputation for excellent restaurants that we wanted to sample, but the kitchen is well-equipped for guests who prefer making their own meals. Kevin was very helpful in constructing a list of recommended restaurants, several of which we tried and loved. The living room is equipped with a HD TV that has more channels than anyone could possibly need, and the bedroom is large enough for a queen-sized bed, rocker, and a small desk that's perfect for setting up a laptop. There's a large closet in the hall with shelving for clothes and gear, and the bathroom has a very nice shower. We stayed during cool weather so we didn't get to sit out on the deck overlooking the garden in the back yard, but for those who visit in warmer months, this feature of the cottage would be a wonderful amenity that could be enjoyed morning and evening. I'm not sure if/when we'll return to Asheville again, but Terrace Cottage will be our first choice if we do, and we recommend it very highly to others.
