Three Bears Cottage is a beautifully renovated Tudor-style dream. It sits high above Asheville with the Grove Park Inn and other historic properties from a less chaotic time. The cottage is well appointed, with thoughtful amenities. Our every need was anticipated. Upon entry, we were greeted with a table for two, with a complimentary bottle of Biltmore wine and a homemade loaf of fruit bread.
The space was so clean, there wasn’t a spec of dust to be found. I used the comfortable sofa bed. It was well kept, without errant springs, protruding bars or mystery dustballs. My friend was visiting from across the country, so she had the bedroom. It had a nice queen bed, with a picture window into the woods. It was a perfect vantage point to watch the fireflies/lightning bugs, in the evening.
We were there during an uncomfortable heatwave, but you’d never know. The AC was quiet and much appreciated. The bathroom had its own little view of the woods. Everything worked fine and we loved the way the shelves were hung with leather straps. Even the bedroom closets were lovely to look at. Again... thoughtful and aesthetically cool.
There are many different ways to experience Asheville. For us, Craig’s place gave us a window into a different time. We’d stay again in a heartbeat.
