Bittersweet Cottage is an absolute gem in the mountains above Asheville. Matt is a wonderful host who gives you absolute privacy while also making himself available for local tips and suggestions or anything else that may be needed. He also anticipates every need of his guests from extra towels for multiple-night stays to toiletries one rarely finds in an Airbnb (I had access to a hair dryer, curling iron, AND flat iron -- amazing!). The cottage itself is stylishly decorated and smells amazing, everything is impeccably clean and adds to the ambience of the cabin. We had rain most of the days of our stay, but we took full advantage of the private hot tub for a beautiful sunset view. Chilly days made the hot tub even more enjoyable!
Matt also has great tips on local attractions from food to entertainment to nature hikes. We had lunch at Curate and it was a real highlight of our trip. We also took Matt's advice and waited for a sunny day to visit the Biltmore Estate and I'm glad I did not try to venture out there in the cold rain. There are plenty of places to explore and we'll definitely be back to Bittersweet Cottage to enjoy more that Asheville has to offer!
