Very clean, great firepit and they even provided firewood which was unexpected. Host had accidentally given access to our booking to guests staying at their other property, but refunded 10% due to our delay in being able to unpack and get settled. Very apologetic and quickly remedied the problem.

Great cottage! Relatively secluded but in a “central” location to drive to either Asheville or hike in the Black Mountains. Cozy and very comfortable. Everything was great!
