Val’s place is the most charming little spot for a getaway. My husband and I enjoyed being so close to downtown but loved the feeling of being tucked away in this cute little cottage during the time we chose to stay in. We appreciated having breakfast necessities for our first morning (especially the granola, which was fantastic) and Val’s communication was excellent! She checked on us and made sure we knew she was close by but was not intrusive in any way, despite her living on the property. If you are looking for a couple’s retreat in downtown Asheville, this is the place!
