Very clean. Just as described. It was a great home base as we toured the area. If you are arriving at night, the neighborhood has no streetlights so it is VERY dark. Thankfully the home was well lit up and the photo was exactly as the front looks. Would definitely stay there again when in the area
We loved staying here! Besides being clean and comfortable, it was decorated with a French flair and had every amenity necessary and more. This is our second time there and we also love the quiet neighborhood.
The pictures do not do justice to this wonderful property. The host is amazing as well. Perfect location with lot's of privacy and located in a beautiful neighborhood. Close to great dining, grocery stores and just a short drive to downtown Asheville. Cannot wait to return.

Delightful
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at such a Homie and wonderful place. Everything was wonderful. The location was great. The house was clean and cozy. We hope to return.
Our family really enjoyed our weekend in Arden. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our evening by the chiminea and the wine, chocolates and coffee were a nice finishing touch!
If you love vintage, this is the perfect place to stay! It is centrally located to most anything you would want to do in the Asheville area. The cottage is beautifully decorated in a country French style and the owners include extra amenities such as champagne chilling in the fridge and coffee for the Keurig.
Everything you could possibly want is furnished for your stay. We use VRBO frequently and this one is our favorite. The host is right on top of everything to make sure our stay was perfect. It is centrally located you all the restaurants and attractions. Definitely a 5 star experience.

From the owner: "Hi, thanks for the information. Did not realize there were missed. The candy is in a jar, so I don’t know why they will be. Will be taking care of it. So sorry the field mice get in the house."
We came down for a few days to ride bikes and enjoy everything Asheville has to offer. This beautifully appointed cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Would come back!
