Location is great for downtown or West AVL, even for surrounding areas.
Parking is pretty tight. The driveway road is only used by 3 or so parties. But it may be easier for some to pull in then back in for easier/safer exits.
The toilet is tight (faces closet door).
Hot tub is nice, bring a flashlight for safe night access. Enjoy the stars.
The gas heater is noisy. Loud enough to be annoying when trying to sleep/with no other noise. This might be why the alarm clock has white noise/etc. options. Using this, using the fan provided, or bringing earplugs might help.
The neighbors are loud. They sometimes talk loudly in their backyard/porch which can be heard in the backyard of the cottage and also inside.
Our first morning the neighbors' contracted solar company showed up ~8-9am & made noise for ~4 hours. They were in the front yard (right outside cottage's living room) & could be heard from anywhere but the bathroom. The company was blocking the driveway (only way out) at times.
Although this isn't something the host can prevent (more of a chance encounter), it does seem characteristic of the neighbors' behavior.
Overall we would stay here again.
