This place was private, clean and very comfortable. The small deck off of the living room (a good one and half stories high) was an added bonus). Sara & Jeff provided lots of local Asheville information, extra towels for tubing, special treats and good coffee. The only down side for us was the steep two and half flights of stairs from the street, where the car was parked, up to the cottage. It was a long way to carry luggage (on a 90 degree day) for someone like myself who is 70 years old with recent joint replacement and who had been on the road for two weeks (I.e., lots of luggage).
