As frequent visitors to the Asheville area, my family and I naturally have some favorite spots. Yet we also enjoy finding different places to go and things to do. Our recent stay at Malinda's cottage checked all those boxes — and with a flourish.
Impeccably clean, smartly decorated and filled with modern appliances and amenities, it was the perfect fit for my wife and I, our 2-and-a-half-year-old son and our two small pups. The bungalow is spacious, yet cozy, and Malinda's thoughtful touches made us feel right at home — even our pups, who especially dug (not literally) the fenced-in backyard. Us humans admittedly enjoyed it, too.
As for location, it really can't be beat. Conveniently located near the French Broad riverside, the property is a stone's throw from a couple local breweries and eateries (don't miss Riverside Rhapsody Brewing, White Duck Taco Shop's Riverside Drive location or the French Broad Chocolate Factory & Café), a quick jaunt from downtown Asheville and only a short drive from the River Arts District.
With Malinda's cottage, we've now added another favorite spot to our list and are already looking forward to our next visit.
