The Red Hen Cottage is a charming place near Asheville’s downtown (about a ten minute drive will get you to the center of town). The place was clean and perfectly comfortable for us as a base for a long weekend with friends. One thing that should be stated is that the house is located in an industrial area. Despite that though, the neighborhood was quiet while we were there and when you get inside the fence and the house you can even forget that it is there. The house itself was well furnished and stylish, a real treat to come back to after tubing on the French Broad or eating/drinking downtown.
