Fabulous rental

Le Canard is quaint and homey, a perfect rental for our 4 adults. The owner really thinks about what you might need and has it there, just in case. It is beautifully decorated inside and landscaped outside. We would like to return in the future.

Charming

Charming place with real character located in a great neighborhood that is somehow isolated yet close to everything you need. It is obvious that so much thought and love has gone into the property. Everything you need is here - they treat you like family! Great communication with the host.

A Wonderful Week Away

I can't say enough good things about our visit to Le Canard in Arden, NC! Our hosts were so hospitable, friendly, and helpful, with many suggestions for local places of interest, restaurants, and other activities. The location was ideal-- just a short drive to a variety of restaurants and to grocery stores for necessities, and not too much further to downtown Asheville. Virtually any amenity you might need was provided in the cottage, which, by the way, was absolutely spotless! Would I return to Le Canard? Yes, without hesitation! Many thanks to our hosts for making the visit to Asheville absolutely wonderful!

Perfect Place!

This cozy home had a perfect cottage feel. It is located in an established neighborhood with beautiful mature trees and shrubbery. Very well maintained and everything you need to feel like you are in a home away from home. Beds are comfy and it's quieter than a hotel! You are close to all kinds of shopping and restaurants. We hope to return one day!

French Flair in Quiet Arden Neighborhood

The cottage was cozy- perfect for evenings in reading by the fire. The decor is French country chateau, complete with some decorative antiques. I appreciated the comfy bed and well-stocked kitchen, especially the chef’s stove. The neighborhood is located near many cool restaurants and things to do. Having laundry facilities was a huge plus. Communication with the owner was easy.

Charming cottage, perfect location!

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.

Lovely and cozy cottage!

My husband I stayed here for 2 nights before Christmas. Very cute cottage tucked away in the woods. Quick drive to the Biltmore Estate and downtown Asheville. The beds were a bit creaky and could probably use some newer mattresses, but other than that, the place was super and had everything we needed.
