Staying at Kimono Cottage was a breath of fresh air. The thoughtful touches that went in to creating the space were very much appreciated. It was a soft and safe landing spot. Clean and bright. Comfortable and new. It is a treat to stay at this retreat.
This upstairs apartment around the back of the house is in a convenient W. Asheville location. But you might just want to stay in and relax. The books on Japan are great for some armchair travel. And browsing the others you can get to know more about W. North Carolina. Plenty of great restaurants doing takeout — call ahead or order online and it’s super fast. Hosts are easy to communicate with and are happy to offer neighborhood recs like Thai Pearl. Itto Ramen had yummy Japanese tapas. If you like crispy chewy donuts, try Hole. There is a coffeemaker and mini fridge.
I’m hoping to visit Kimono Cottage again to enjoy the calm respite the space offers. Slip off your shoes and worries at the door. Relaxation awaits you just beyond the Shibori curtains.
