This charming location is a bit outside of Asheville, so we were able to escape the noise of downtown Asheville (there seems to be sirens constantly), but it was only about a 12 minute drive to Asheville's many sights. It is on a beautiful secluded lane with a very nice lake a short walk away, which has a great hiking path around it. We went to Asheville for the 2017 solar eclipse. Ellen and George loaned us chairs and a cooler to help with this, and we ended us watching from the front of the house, with George, which was delightful. The cottage is one bedroom, not fancy but very comfortable and had everything we needed including privacy. Our hosts answered every question and offered recommendations but not invasive in any way. We would definitely stay again.
