We had a great experience with some minor exceptions, which aren't really the fault of the host.
First, the good stuff. The location is perfect. Very peaceful and scenic. Only 20 minutes to either downtown or to the Biltmore Estate and a very nice Ingles grocery store 7 min away. The mountain view is actually closer and more dramatic than the pictures show. That was awesome!
The downside had a lot to do with the size of our group (4 adults, 2 kids) and our intention for the stay. Our plan was to get to the house each day around 4pm and hang out outside with some wine and enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, the neighbor next door is a bit of a hoarder and their property is unsightly. Lisa has done a great job creating a good amount of privacy with a partial fence, but you can still see a portion of their yard and abandoned car. So that was a bit of a bummer.
Additionally, the inside of the house is super nice and cozy. But the outside needs work. And the beds were not as comfortable as we'd hoped. We prefer a firm mattress and these were on the flimsy side.
Again, our stay was still very positive. We enjoyed the hot tub and cooked some great meals every night. The kitchen was very well appointed and fully stocked. The A/C worked really well. And Lisa was also super responsive and great to work with. Most of our issues had to do with how we intended to use the cottage. If you need a nice and affordable place to stay away from it all (and aren't planning to hang out there beyond the evenings), this is it.
