Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cozy home, spacious three-level layout, and the balcony and outdoor space. It’s great to hear the setup worked well and that you found it comfortable and family-friendly.
We appreciate your note about the pet policy as well, and we’re thrilled you’d return in a heartbeat—that means a lot. We’d love to host you again anytime!
The home was exactly as pictured, and ready to host guests. We appreciated how clean and spacious it was, and that there was plenty of room for everyone to congregate or relax separately. This home is not managed by an individual but by a larger company. In the past, homes managed by a larger group have not been a positive experience for me, but this team was certainly different. They were prompt with responses and assistance during normal business hours, and easy to chat with. Be sure to notice that the home is not in Asheville, but was a short drive to major attractions and there are stores close by for necessities. I would recommend a stay at the cottage retreat.

Beautiful Asheville Getaway
Beautiful and very clean house with lots of space for 5 friends. “Minutes from downtown Asheville” was a slight exaggeration. Carpets have some stains and furniture is clearly geared toward renters but overall we very much enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Place
Our family had a wonderful stay! The home was beautiful, and provided plenty of space for all 6 of us; Our only regret was that the weather wasn't quite warm enough to enjoy the beautiful porch and decks. The location is only a few miles from Biltmore Estates and 11 miles from downtown. One can't go wrong with this choice.

The property was clean and comfortable with a nice view and lots of outdoor areas. Great rooms with good amenities. We enjoyed our stay very much. The original home we picked became unavailable at the last minute. The staff notified us immediately and helped us find a comparable place to stay in the same area. They were very helpful and the change was managed with no hassle.

We absolutely loved our weekend in this lovely home. It accommodated 10 ladies perfectly. Each of the bedrooms were clean and cozy. There was plenty of seating for all of us to sit around and catch up. The location of the house was very convenient to downtown Asheville. We were able to get to restaurants and shops within 20 minutes. I highly recommend this property!!!

Great house and Great Response
This house was almost perfect for our sibling reunion. Only "down" side was the steps to downstairs were too steep for one of the siblings to go down because of recent health issues. Therefore, we were unable to use the downstairs to watch movies and or all get together. Otherwise, the house was a great place to get away from it all yet be close enough for shopping and sightseeing. Owners were quick to respond to any questions.
Also, I would suggest you let them know that "Main Street" is a small road either just after light or just before light (depending on which way you are coming from). Most people think of "Main Street" as a major road.
