What a GEM! This pleasant, cozy, and well-equipped "carriage-type" cottage is a "steal" compared to even the most elegant and charming inn. I am picky when it comes to comfort, beauty, and cleanliness, and this lovely apartment met all of my high standards. It is immaculate and stylish, a country-like retreat with chickens roaming the property, in the midst of the quirky and entertaining city, Asheville, North Carolina. Just miles from the Biltmore, it is convenient to downtown for local shopping and dining as well. Our hosts were attentive to detail as you can see from the pictures that are posted. It is a light and airy space with all of the amenities of home. Our privacy was valued, and the hosts were the most pleasant people I have had the pleasure of dealing with in all my extensive travels (and I've been to Europe, to 48 States, and am 56 years old!)! The setting is serene, with a pool and mountain just out the front door. The kitchen is stocked with fresh eggs from the coop of free-roaming hens, honey from the on-site apiary, French press local coffee beans and a grinder, a refrigerator, stove, oven and microwave as well as everything you need to fix and serve a meal. The linen closet is full of clean and fresh smelling linens for the comfy bed and Ikea pull out couch. There is a music dock, Netflix, a few shelves of books to lend, scented candles, fresh flowers and live plants, heated hardwood floors (great for walking in stocking feet even on a cold day!), a fan for if you get hot, and a space-heater for if you get cool. These folks have not skimped on anything, and everything is high quality and quaint. The hosts are big-hearted people with great recommendations who really know their city and can steer you in the right direction for great food and entertainment, or who will respect your privacy if you just want to go out to the grocery and then stay in and create meals and just read and write or watch movies in the best apartment for the entire trip. It's an adventure to roam the acreage as well and they can point you to good area hiking. We will definitely return again and again and bring friends and family.
