Upon arriving, the dogs greeted us just as soon as we opened our car doors - a delightful welcome to the Lucky W. Shortly after we arrived, Jessica came out to meet us and had fresh eggs from her chickens and cream for our coffee. She was the perfect hostess and told us about the Lucky W Cottage. Later, we met William as soon as he got home from work and he welcomed us and gave us restaurant suggestions. The cottage was just perfect and just the right distance from downtown Asheville. We were amazed that we could be so close to the city and still feel like we were in the country. Besides the location, the cottage was clean, well equipped, and had comforting effect on us. It was just a perfect weekend, the Withers, the cottage, all of the animals (we even saw wild turkeys just feet from the cottage), and the proximity to Asheville. It was everything we wanted and more and I will certainly stay there whenever I visit Asheville in the future and highly recommend it to anyone that wants to feel the country and the city at the same time.
