This little cottage was perfect and exactly what we were looking for in an Asheville stay. It was clean, cozy and adorable. So close and convenient to downtown, but super peaceful and a great relaxing place to come back to after a long day of exploring the city, hiking, or wherever your AVL adventures may take you! The Christmas decor outside and in were so cute, and an added bonus when traveling this time of year. It just made it feel so cozy and homey. The bed is comfy, the towels super soft and fluffy, and there were plenty of extra fuzzy warm throw blankets to cuddle up in the evenings and watch a movie. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped with enough supplies to make a meal, and although Asheville has an endless selection of delicious food, it was nice to have the option as we chose to make a big breakfast a couple of times during our stay. A variety of coffee and tea were provided, and it was so nice to wake up our first morning and already have that without having to immediately go to the store. The back yard is just AWESOME, for both dogs and people alike! Our pups absolutely loved it, almost as much as we did ;) The outdoor fireplace and adorable strung lights made it somewhere we wanted to not only have our morning coffee, but an evening beer fireside as well. Even though it was cold, we bundled up and spent a lot of time in the yard it was just so great, even had a couple morning fires with our coffee. It was private and peaceful. Dareth was an excellent host and a great communicator. She was very responsive before, during and even after our stay, and you can tell she goes above and beyond to make sure her guests are happy and comfortable. She gives you total privacy, but is just a message away if you need anything at all! I can’t say enough great things about our stay. We absolutely loved everything about it and can’t wait to stay in the cottage again on our next trip back to Asheville! Thanks Dareth!!! ☺️
