We stayed a week at Maddie’s Cottage for a work/vacation. The dogs enjoyed the property. We did see two bear cubs on the property so be careful. We didn’t realize that the cottage is attached to the owners home. Just a heads up. It wasn’t a big deal at all. It was just a short drive into Asheville or Black Mountain. There is a hiking trail about 5 minutes away. The listing was as described and very comfortable for us. The deck is amazing and we enjoyed sitting out there with the dogs.
