Perfect Mountain Cottage

The cottage was perfect for us! It is at the top of the mountain so it snowed the first night we were there, which we loved. It is only about 2 - 2 1/2 miles to downtown Ashville and is close to everything. It looks like it has been recently refreshed and had everything we needed. We wish we had more time and could have stayed longer.

Gorgeous and Cozy

The Garden Cottage was hidden up a winding road on the mountain, in a perfect, secluded spot, but not too hard to find! The exterior garden is incredible, buzzing with bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. So romantic! The interior was beautifully understated and rustic, with a lovely upstairs master bath. Close enough to downtown, yet far enough away to enjoy much needed peace and quiet. Wonderful.

Asheville Home Away from Home

Our stay at this secluded garden cottage was wonderful. The property is a nature lover's paradise, with a furnished deck for enjoying a cup of coffee and enjoying the nature that the mountains have to offer. The home is beautifully furnished and felt very comfortable, while providing every convenience imaginable. It is truly a place that one can stay for a few days, as well as long term. We would definitely recommend Marion's home.

Fall Girls Trip

The property was exactly as listed and we had a terrific stay! You can’t beat the location close to Asheville and although it was a little tough to navigate the roads in the dark when we first checked in, we learned the twists and turns to get down the hill and this was a great place to stay. The inside is lovely and plenty of space and thoughtful accommodations. The host was super quick to respond and very accommodating to make sure we had a great trip. Would highly recommend

greatmountain neighborhood

Downtown Ashville is 10 minutes away and you are living in a real mountain neighborhood. Marion's property is unassuming, comfortable, and leaves nothing to be desired. It's a charming little house nestled in a mountain neighborhood that gives you a taste of the kind of lifestryle you could have in Ashville. The only disappointment was we didn't see any bears. We did some accidental damage to one of marion's tables and didn't realize it before we left. She was extremely gracious when telling us about it. You don't get bells and whistles here but who needs it in Ashville.

Perfect property

We rented this cottage along with my sister in law and husband for 3 nights following our daughter’s wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location. Very convenient to downtown Asheville, beautifully furnished and very well stocked with everything we needed. The road down to the cottage is a little steep but perfectly navigable. We loved the peace and quiet and enjoyed the garden at breakfast as well as the wood stove in the evenings. The owner was super helpful and swift to answer a couple of questions. Highly recommend!

We loved this property. It was the perfect size for a small family and so beautiful inside and outside. The gardens were lovely. The house was well stocked. It is very convenient to downtown Asheville. Marion was wonderful and very responsive. Our GPS took us the wrong way and we were completely lost. We called Marion and she stayed on the phone with us until we found the property! We would definitely stay here again.

A Beautiful and Quiet Setting Yet Close to Everything

The inside was clean and beautifully decorated with every kitchen amenity we needed. The flowers and card that greeted us was a nice touch. The bedrooms and bathrooms were so similar that neither couple felt that they were being shortchanged. The bumpy, and steep gravel driveway was the only negative and we were glad we escaped driving home at night or in the rain, but it should not be a deterrent because we quickly learned to navigate the bumps. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

A must VRBO!!

Excellent proximity to downtown! You feel away from the bustle of the city but a quick drive down the mountain and you’re in the mix of downtown. The VRBO had everything we needed for a spring break away with our teenagers. We made several meals in and had everything we needed plus some. The house easy very clean and maintained with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. We arrived at night and the house was well lit and very welcoming! The only minor issue is the floors in the upstairs bedroom, which is above the downstairs room, creaks when you walk around. But it wasn’t an issue for us as we aren’t early risers or up really late. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed this VRBO and would highly recommend it to others.

Wonderful Weekend in Asheville

For my wife and our friends this was the perfect location for an Asheville getaway. The cottage is very close to downtown and only minutes from major Asheville attractions. This was not our first VRBO experience and everything during this stay - from booking to check-out - was simple and convenient. The owner is a perfect host providing an extremely clean, comfortable, and well equipped cottage in a pleasant mountain setting. She provided timely updates when public utilities had a minor, area wide, blip and demonstrated overall concern that we were comfortable at all times and ensuring our visit was everything we hoped for. If available, we will definitely book this property on our next visit to Asheville.
