Valerie was really communicative and helpful, and the cottage was just what we were looking for -- close enough to downtown Asheville to be accessible, but still remote and feeling like you're on your own away from the bustle. (It's about a 7-minute drive to downtown or the River Arts District, and an Uber would cost about $7-$10.) One of the beds in the listing is actually lofted and accessible only by ladder, which is a fun little sleeping area. The cottage is also walking distance to Community Yoga, a really cool organization -- one of us ended up attending three classes there! And if the weather had been less humid and hot, we would've spent more time on the porch. Totally worth a stay!
