Our stay at the cottage was perfect. The cottage is within a decent driving distance of everything we wanted to see in Asheville and just outside of Asheville. We have a very inpatient baby, so we take our driving times very seriously. The cottage is tucked away in a nice little neighborhood with friendly neighbors and a woodsy view of the mountain side. We never heard any road noise, just birds in the morning. The cottage is very functional and was perfect for our family. We will definitely be returning in the upcoming years!!
