Wonderful stay in Arden

This house was one of the best rentals we have used for vacationing! It was a multigenerational trip with oldest being 70 and youngest 11. Very clean, well organized and great views! Also very well stocked, all bathrooms had hand soap and toilet paper for our stay. Located right near south Asheville, Arden was the perfect location to either pop into Hendersonville or Downtown Asheville. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

So Peaceful

I was really impressed with the location of this property being fairly close to town and yet in the mountains and very quiet and peaceful. Great views. Owner's agent, Ron Mashburn, incredibly responsive to us with a little issue we had and resolved quickly to our satisfaction. We will be back.

Worth the drive for the View from the house!

Sits at the Top of the hill with incredible views from the balconies. Well appointed, comfortable beds, we felt at home. Its about a 25 minute drive from downtown Asheville, but easy access to the highway, and close to supermarkets.

Mountain hideway

Was a great place to getaway and enjoy the mountains. The heating and cooling systems are a bit challenging to navigate but they can be mastered so you are comfortable. During our stay, it required air conditioning in part of the day but heat at night.

Even Better Than Expected!

My husband and I so enjoyed our stay here. The views - including a killer sunrise off the bedroom upper deck - were hard to beat, the house itself was sparkly clean, perfectly well appointed and went above and beyond in many small ways that really add up to guests like us (nice warm throws in the living room, "quality" toilet paper 😊, fluffy towels). Highly recommend!

Biltmore get away!!

My husband and I and 2 other couples decided to do a quick long weekend getaway to the Biltmore. We chose this house for the views and space! We brought our English cocker spaniel, Pepper. The property was a great set up and worked well with our stay! It was about 1 hour from the “Pretty Place Chapel” and about 15 minutes from the Biltmore entrance. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! It made our stay from Georgia wonderful!

Great mountain retreat.

The online photos of the house do not do it justice. It is a lovely house, tastefully decorated, great kitchen, large fenced back for our dog. She loved it. Great views. Quiet neighborhood, convenient to Asheville sites. Less than fifteen minutes to NC Arboretum. Don't miss it.

Beautiful stay

Not only is it a beautiful house but the view is beautiful. The deck faces east so we were able to see the sun rise over the mountains. Since we were there in October the leaves were colorful. We agree with other reviews that the driveway could be a problem in snow and ice. We were looking for housing near Asheville where we could see mountains and this fit the bill. Great communication with the manager.

10 out of 10!

We stayed a week at this home with our two adult children and dog and it was a great experience. The home is clean, has so many amenities, and a beautiful master bath and master balcony. The wrap-around deck offers three sitting areas, including some that are covered for rainy days. The mountain views, especially from the master balcony, are beautiful. We had a lot of fun in Asheville, and this home's location is close to downtown, the River Arts District, Biltmore, and many other locations. We would definitely stay here again. One note: Be aware that black bears roam around this property, including the fenced backyard. It was really cool seeing them, but also a little scary, especially if you're out at night. This is probably going to be a factor in all Asheville locations, though. We would definitely recommend this home ... 10 out of 10!

Spring break

We enjoyed our stay at Royal Cottage! The location was great for mountain biking in the area and dining out. We had a place to safely store our mountain bikes for the week when not in use which was nice. The house offered a great outdoor area with pretty mountain views from the back deck or covered side porch with plenty of seating for everyone. The property's backyard is fenced but you must use the deck stairs off the back of the house and down to the driveway to access the gate into the backyard which was fine for our situation.
