I highly recommend Tena's Sparrow Cottage if you're traveling to Ashville. The cottage is close to everything, it is decorated so cute, and it is CLEAN! We loved staying there! Tena met us there when we checked in, showed us around, and gave us recommendations on what to see and do. She also had brochures for various attractions. We sat out on the lovely front porch and drank our coffee every morning (made in the French press that Tena provided). In a word, it was perfect. We would definitely stay here again!
