I cannot say enough positive things about Kathy's Cottage. Our children loved playing with the toys, and called it our vacation home. It very much felt like a home away from home. The cottage is conveniently located to both hiking and shopping, and just down the road is one of the best places to get coffee and pastries before you explore all the fun in Asheville. The beds were very comfortable, and the towels super fluffy. We very much enjoyed our stay and plan to come back to next year (as long as it's not all booked!!)
