Asheville Mini-moon

Christmas at the Biltmore

The Cottage was a very convenient location for all things Asheville. Easy access to hiking/biking trails. We tried a few of our host recommended restaurants and really enjoyed them. We loved the Christmas tour at the Biltmore. Highly recommend The Cottage as a location if you are visiting Asheville.

Charming cabin stay

I had a short stay with my 2 dogs, in this charming cabin. Michael was great with communication and very helpful with recommendations. He made sure that I was greeted, and that I had everything I needed during my stay. When I wasn’t helping my daughter pack up her dorm, we explored the botanical gardens, good food, and long walks through the cute neighborhoods. It had everything I needed for my quick trip and beautiful weather for relaxing just outside my door amongst the natural beauty of the garden.

Adorable property and very dog friendly!The hosts made sure we had everything we needed and were very kind and responsive. Nice neighborhood and several good restaurants very close. Would have been walking distance if the weather was warm. The property was only about a 15 minute drive to the Biltmore. It was a pleasure to be in Asheville again after 20 years.

I had a wonderful stay at this VRBO in North Asheville! The location was fantastic—quiet yet conveniently close to everything I needed. The space was perfect for me and my pup, with all the amenities to make us comfortable. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made the whole experience seamless.

Great dog friendly location close to Downtown Asheville

The cottage was perfect for our outdoor vacation in Asheville. It was located near a park to walk the dog in the morning and about 1.5 mile to the downtown restaurants and fun. We loved that it was a homey environment for our dog to rest in after a big day of hikes and adventures. It had everything that we needed and was perfect for our stay. Would recommend.
