Very convenient location with a comfortable bed, and also very clean. I really appreciated that they allowed us to bring our dog, who was very comfortable with the accommodations as well. This is a great area and very convenient to anywhere you'd want to get in the Asheville area.

Amazing Stay!

My husband is hard to please and he thought the place, the location and the lovely neighborhood was amazing. Our dog was content and got lots of walks without traffic! The host’s restaurant recommendations were great too! We highly recommend and plan to return as soon as we can! Will never stay in a hotel again!

Love, Love, Love this place

First of all, the hosts of this property are some of the nicest people I have ever met - great communication, accommodation and suggestions for things to do in Ashville. The cabin was super clean and nicely decorated. Location was great - walked downtown every day and evening. Felt very comfortable there with our dog. HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!

This place was perfect! My husband, dog and I came up for a weekend away for our 8th wedding anniversary and everything was absolutely wonderful.

LOVING THE PEACOCK RETREAT!

The property was quaint and quirky! We loved it! A beautiful 1800’s log home with a private cottage with easy access to come and go….very close to downtown and many great restaurants. Tom and Mike were very gracious hosts! We highly recommend this special place!

Introvert’s Delight

I rented this cottage with my pup as a destination getaway from city life. Mike and Tom we’re so welcoming and made my stay so comfortable. Roux (the Cavapoo) felt at home immediately. If I’m every back in Asheville I would definitely stay here again!

Two Thumbs Up!

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. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would return. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful Location

We had a fantastic time! It is a green oasis in the city close to all attractions! We had a wonderful gas fireplace which came in handy since it got down to the 30’s during our stay. Great comfortable bed! The hosts were extremely attentive and we received sparkling wine and even a birthday cake!! We will be going back in the future !

Quick Trip. Was Lovely.

What an awesome place! It’s old. I’m guessing circa 1920-1930. But it’s been tastefully, artistically, and efficiently renovated. We were very comfortable. The hosts are wonderful. The neighborhood is dog-walkable and close to everything downtown. What a great City Asheville is; and, this place is a jewel in the box.

We really enjoyed our weekend getaway at this charming cottage. The place was very clean, spacious and comfortable. We were happy to be able to travel with our dog and bowls and clean up supplies were provided. The neighborhood is quiet even though it is close to downtown. Check in was easy and the hosts were quick to communicate. Kitchenette has microwave, Keurig with pods provided, a mini-fridge and freezer, and dishes/utensils but lacks a sink. Would definitely return!

Great Stay, Quiet Neighborhood, but close to everything

This is a terrific place that is in a quiet neighborhood but still very close to downtown and Biltmore (maybe 10-15 minutes). There are walkable dining options (hosts provide extremely helpful info as part of the confirmation process on food and activities too). We walked our pup in the neighborhood and felt very comfortable. You can walk to Dunkin Donuts - but the Keurig unit and coffees in the unit may obviate the need.The Cottage has a living space and separate bedroom. It is well decorated and very comfortable. The king bed was exceptionally comfortable! There is a limited kitchen but we stayed with our pup and got takeout on some nights and there is a table and small fridge, microwave and Keurig - exactly as advertised. We also enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine.Hosts are terrific and very responsive with helpful insight and accurate info.We would absolutely stay here again if we come back to 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.
