This peaceful cottage was fantastic. The hosts were very responsive and provided helpful and very detailed check in instructions. The place was beautifully decorated and easy to access.Places to eat are all within 10-15 minutes and tourists attractions within Boone and Asheville areas were only a 45 minute drive away. Would recommend this beautiful place to anyone and hopefully we will be back again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Comfortable and clean. Apartment was as advertised. However there were a few issues to address. First, this is a garage apartment and has no carbon monoxide detectors. The parking area is on an incline. The shortest distance to the entrance steps is down the slight incline on unlevel ground ( soft dirt, roots and limbs), making it difficult for older people to traverse. The alternative is to go around using the main drive way which about four times as far. We were able to use the main drive to unload our luggage to the steps at the bottom of the ramp leading to the entrance steps. But the morning we departed, we were unable to load up the same way due to traffic in the drive. These were our concerns as an older couple.
