What a delightful cottage to stay in! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit September 8-10th, this year. Tom was there waiting for us even though we were an hour late. He was very helpful. I just wish we had had him tutor us how to turn on the tv ...we always have trouble with the remotes, but that's not his fault. So if you do stay there, take the time and have Tom practice how to use the remotes before he leaves. Otherwise, everything was excellent. The beds were very comfortable, the rooms were very clean and well-stocked. We enjoyed cooking in his kitchen and found all utensils easily. The cottage is in a very nice neighborhood and centrally located...not really 10 min from town. It was down the street from a very picturesque golf course and a nice peaceful lake is nearby. We will definitely rent this cottage in the future if we ever get a chance to visit Asheville again. (And if it's your first time, go to the Biltmore and rent the audio wand-$10.00 Definitely worth it and adds to the tour. Otherwise you won't enjoy it as much. Thanks Tom for opening up your cottage... Bill and Sue Lewis, CA.
