This little cottage was super convenient and near my daughters house. The neighborhood is fairly quiet and provides easy access to everything Asheville has to offer. There is a great brewery down the street with a super delicious food truck.

This is truly a wonderful gem. The home was nicely appointed and immaculate. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything I needed. You’re close to both Asheville AND Weaverville. TV had a bunch of terrific selections and the sign in to internet was easy. I would stay in this spot on every visit. Was just minutes from relatives in Woodfin. Super value.

Ladies Week
This was the perfect home for a small gathering of three generations of women in my family. Everything being on one level, as well as the simpler backdoor access, proved very helpful for those of us with limited mobility. There were lots of personal touches that made us feel at home, coffee supplies, books and puzzles, welcoming furniture. Grocery stores, UNCA, multiple small towns to explore, are all within a few minutes and the drive is beautiful. The neighbors were friendly and quiet, with almost zero traffic close to the house. We're all looking forward to our next visit to the Asheville area.
