Terrific vacation place! We stayed in Holly Cottage during the summer. Driving up to Holly Cottage, one is struck by how this wonderful place is surrounded by trees and vegetation. It appears to be quite private and somewhat secluded, although, in reality, only a short 5 minute drive to all that's important...a very good supermarket, gas stations, post office, banks, etc. There is ample free parking a few steps from the front door. Outside, a nice deck with table, chairs and covering umbrella allows one to relax and enjoy the moment. Often, it is possible to hear the low rumbling water of the nearby creek or an occasional barking dog. Inside, one finds a clean cottage, with rooms as described. The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, living, dining and kitchen areas are large enough to nicely accomodate 2 couples or a family of 4 for a weekend, week, or longer if desired. The internal space has abundant natural light filtering thru the large windows. Thru the outward view of each window, one sees the green of the outdoors. The kitchen is stocked with a good supply of dishes, pots and pans for inhouse cooking. A rather large dining table can easily seat 6. In the living room, there is cable TV with internet throughout, and a nice fireplace. As stated, the location is a real plus for access to the entire Asheville area (downtown, expressways, the mountains , hiking trails, and the magical Blue Ridge Parkway. I highly recommend staying at Holly Cottage if visiting beautiful Asheville. Neil S.
