I stayed at Annie and Joe's cottage for several months over the summer and it was one of the best experiences I've had using Airbnb. Their cottage is gorgeous and perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. The minimalist design of the space is very soothing and the light that comes through the windows and skylight is amazing -- especially in the evening when the sun sets. The bed was super comfortable and there is everything you need in terms of amenities for a short or longer-term stay. The cottage is next to the owners' house but there is a lot of privacy created by the trees and bushes surrounding it. Annie and Joe have put a lot of landscaping work into the enormous backyard and it is really stunning. Also, if you are lucky enough to get to know them they are fantastic people--we became fast friends from the moment they kindly gave me an orientation to the cottage when I arrived. Finally, the cottage is located in a beautiful neighborhood in north Asheville near a lot of great spots: excellent food options (Luellas and Homegrown), the greenway, an excellent farmer's market, a great brewery (Zillicoah), and more. The location is close to downtown (about a 5 minute drive) but it's secluded enough to enjoy a relaxing stay in Asheville. It is also right next to other beautiful neighborhoods such as Montford. Definitely stay here if you want a relaxing retreat in Asheville with wonderful hosts!
