My wife and I just came back from a very relaxing stay at the cottage! We live in the city so it was nice to get a break from the urban jungle and be surrounded by such a peaceful setting. The cottage is very well appointed with everything you could need and the photos don't do it justice. Other than the antiques everything looks brand new! Lots of nice personal touches throughout.

Just 5 minutes down the road and you have your choice of gourmet grocery stores and a few good restaurants. Drive 10 minutes and you are in the heart of downtown Asheville.

One of the reasons we visited Asheville was for the cycling and I found the house to be in the perfect spot to get to the Blue Ridge Parkway and several other routes if you don't mind the climb up the dirt road. It's truly a cycling paradise for both road and mountain biking.

Jessica and her husband were also great hosts and we really enjoyed staying there and would not hesitate to do so again.
