This place is a hidden gem! My friend and I stayed here on a weekend trip to Asheville and we lovingly nicknamed it “the little cottage” because that’s exactly how it felt. Michelle was an amazing host. She left us a bottle of wine, cheese, and some sweet snacks for our stay. Everything was super clean and I loved the little things- like having a box of extras in the bathroom in case you forgot something (for me it was ibuprofen). The bed was comfy and the tv had plenty of channels (plus free wifi!). Michelle was present to assist us in answering questions but otherwise gave us our privacy. We didn’t use the upper deck lounge because it was rainy and cold but otherwise, we would have. It’s a super cute space with pillows, blankets, and outlets to plug in if you choose to.
The location itself is a mile from downtown Asheville. It’s quick and easy to access most of Asheville and the a Blue Ridge Pkwy. We took an Uber for about $8 into town which is well worth not having to find (and pay for) a parking place. The apartment is at the rear of the main residence and while the driveway feels narrow, we didn’t have any issues getting in or out and we were in a full size suv.
One thing I loved about Michelle is that though it was obvious they were doing renovations to the main residence, it was never a nuisance for us. She made sure our stay was perfect. At the end, she encouraged us to help ourselves to the fresh spices and peppers she was growing in the little garden outside. I would absolutely love to stay here again!
