Our family of four (2 boys - 4 and 9) had a great time at this comfortable and cosy Asheville cottage. It was a perfect retreat for exploring downtown ( 7 minutes away by car) and the surounding breathtaking area. Close to the urban downtown, the setting is very relaxing and quiet. We took advantage of the cottage backyard and the deck with a grill and we also played on the beautiful medow across the road which is a gorgious, beautifully landscaped, vast open space with a small creek that boys enjoyed a lot. Gayle was a wonderful host - very responsive and gave us great input on places to eat, see and do. It was very convenient that she lived just across the street. The cottage was very nicely decorated, impecably clean and equipped with all things necessary so we could cook, grill and relax on the back yard deck during our week long stay. We strongly recommend it and hope to be back soon.
