The cottage is in a great location and Tom was a great host. The place is less than 5 minutes off the main road, so it's quiet and peaceful, yet very close to amenities and only about 10 minutes from downtown Asheville. It was clean and well stocked (linens, dishes, etc.) so we didn't need to bring anything with us. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be close to everything, but have some privacy.
