I made a last minute reservation about three weeks prior to my trip. Although the rain followed me and my dog up to Asheville, we were still able to enjoy some outdoor activities. The cottage was very comfy and equipped with everything we needed. Tena was a great host; she brought us bananas and had coffee and creamer ready for the next morning which was greatly appreciated. I enjoyed sitting out on the front porch soaking up the sun. I would definitely come back again!
