Stayed in the cottage for one night while visiting Asheville and it was awesome! The cottage is well equipped with basics for getting a light breakfast going and was quite spacious. The only downside - there are no blinds/curtains on the east facing windows - so bring an eye mask if you wanna sleep in!

The hostel itself had great amenities - hot tub and highly knowledgeable staff. We got a really good hiking recommendation and decent instructions around town.
