We stayed at Joy's cottage for a week and were very satisfied. Pros: centrally located to access the Blue Ridge Parkway, national forests, Asheville, grocery and big box stores, and main road to Black Mountain area; quiet neighborhood; private; exceptionally clean and comfortable; several kitchen amenities to make simple meals; and an efficient use of space for a small cottage. We thought it was a great value for the space provided. We really enjoyed our stay and Joy was an excellent and responsive host.
Considerations: there is adequate space for 2 people to be comfortable; there is no door between the bedroom and living area which wasn't an issue for us but could be for a night owl/early bird couple; and ceilings are about 7 feet high (so pro basketball players may need to look elsewhere). 😉
