Annie was a great host. Very detailed with making sure we knew were everything was and how to use things around the cottage. She was hands off but made sure we knew she was around if we needed her or had any questions. She gave us great dinner recommendations and had brochures available in the cottage to help us navigate around Asheville. The cottage was clean, comfortable and very homey. We would recommend this to anyone planning a trip to Asheville or the Great Smoky Mountains.
