Bending Oaks is just lovely! Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and a very convenient location for all the fun activities in Asheville. The cottage is thoughtfully prepared with all the creature comforts and some extra niceties as well. It’s immaculate and the hosts are accommodating to the wishes and needs of their guests. We asked if screens could be put in windows so we could enjoy the cool mountain air and they did so at our convenience. A book of suggested outings and restaurants are provided for guests who may not know the Asheville area well. Even though the drive to the house is atop a steep gravel road, it is navigable even in a mid size car like mine- Chrysler 200. If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable, well appointed place to stay in the western NC mountains, you’ve found it here! We will certainly return!
