Swannanoa

Cozy house just 1.5 miles from Warren Wilson provided a quick retreat from the heat of the afternoon. Quiet neighborhood, with lots of singing birds in the am.

Great little cottage

We were in town for a cheer competition for our daughter, and we needed to bring our dog. This place was in a great location and only 20 mins from downtown. We loved being able to stay outside of the city but still close enough to enjoy it. We will definitely be booking this cottage again in the future.

Very comfortable house to stay at. Plenty of room for the five of us. Quiet.

Very comfortable place to stay. The house is kept well. The only downside was the road that the house is on was very busy and people drove very fast on it. Otherwise I would highly for your stay

Small Gem

Cozy little house - reminded me of my grandmother’s house. Sweet location; we enjoyed the running trail nearby and being able to sit outside in the yard at the end of the day. It’s close to a grocery store, easy to get to hiking trails, and great for exploring Asheville. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Charming & Convenient

We stayed here for a weekend getaway. It was 10 minutes away from downtown and about 15-20 minutes away from Biltmore. The house was very cozy and comfortable. It had all the necessities we needed. Way better than staying in a hotel. The neighborhood was quiet and had wonderful views.

Great house

My family of 5 (3 kids 7 and under) stayed here for our trip to Asheville. It was such a great, easy to find house and has ALL the accomodations for our needs ! Perfect size that we all had our own beds and a pack n play was already there for us to use. We cooked easily there and came and went as we needed. We definitely will stay here again on our annual trip down ! Host was responsive and kind !

Extremely well maintained property far enough away from Asheville to avoid the noise and traffic, but close enough to find everything you need. Perfect for families wishing to enjoy the blue ridge mountains. The bedroom arrangement was perfect for 5 of us ( Wife, Son, Daughter in law, grandson). Everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay. Would definitely recommend.

Sweet home away from home

The house was clean and cozy. It had everything we needed. It was well furnished and appointed. We enjoyed listening to the frogs and crickets at night while sitting on the porch. We even saw a family of four foxes scampering.

Nice place

It had pretty much everything you could need. The only issue was the parking. That road was hard to back out on and there was no way to turn around in the driveway.

Lovingly furnished and well supplied. Good location.

A beautiful old red maple in the front with ample yard for leash walking a dog. Great location for attending music camp at nearby Warren Wilson College but as others have noted, traffic on the road is heavy and there is no way to turn around in the driveway so you have to be comfortable with backing into the driveway.

Very clean and cute house. Had everything we needed for our family of 5. Fully stocked kitchen and nice washer/dryer. It is a few miles outside of town but easy to get to town. Really neat park nearby that had a playground, ponds, and hiking trails along The Swannanoa River. We even saw a bear in the yard the 2nd morning of our stay! Definitely recommend The Carolina Cottage!

Overall it was great! No complaints and would definitely stay again! The smoke alarm was due for another battery when we came back from having dinner but that was remedied quickly after we found which alarm was chirping lol 😂

Nice stay outside Asheville

2 nights at the Carolina Cottage were very comfortable. Everything worked as it should (though many rentals are noncompliant). Driving to town was easy, but Bee Tree Rd. is not great for walking and it's best to back into the driveway in order to exit more safely.

Short Stay in Asheville Area

This is a great little place for a small group; there was adequate space for the four of us and our dog, and our kids were pleased to have their own rooms, although seating would be tight for a larger group. The kitchen is sufficient for very basic cooking. Downtown Asheville was less than 20 minutes away by car. The neighborhood is very scenic, but note there are no sidewalks and you have to walk along the main road to get to more pedestrian-friendly walking areas. There is a nearby dog-friendly park with a trail around a pond, however, which you can easily drive to.

Carolina Cottage Review

The property was exactly as described. It was clean. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials. Excellent coffee maker for K-cups and brewing pots of coffee. The layout was not ideal for 4 adults, as you have to go through the one bedroom to get to the back bedroom (or walk outside to get in). This setup would work best for parents/children. Check-in and out were easy, and the price was very reasonable. Owner was very responsive and helpful.

Great Value, Close to Asheville but on busy, often high-speed road.

The house was great. Clean, easy to find things we needed, etc. We made great memories there. However, the photos imply that the view from the property is private and do not demonstrate the busy road between the house and the views depicted. Despite the "no outlet" sign that you pass on entering this very large community, most cars zoom down that road at >50 MPH. It can be very dangerous to back out of (you cannot turn your cars around, as a row of "No Trespassing" signs clearly indicate alongside the long, one-way driveway (which can easily accommodate 4 cars - a big plus!). The front porch is very small, though we did move 4 chairs from behind the house onto this porch and hang out there - a lovely climbing tree shades the whole front of the house. It is the front of the house that looks out onto the road, and the lovely photo of the meadow and barn depicted with this property was taken from the other side of this busy road. The back of the house, where there is a clean and ready-to-use grill and a small concrete patio looks up a small hill to a prefabricated house, the property of which surrounds the Carolina House VRBO. Understandably, we chose to hang out at front. The outdoor chairs are new and were great to have as we did this. It's in a great location, and it's a great price. However, the owners should post more accurate photos of the outside areas surrounding the house.

Great house!

I stayed four nights here, along with three of my adults children. This house was clean and comfortable. The set up worked perfectly for us. The largest bedroom had a very comfortable mattress. The full bedroom, was good. The third bedroom with twin beds, that were comfortable also, had plenty of room. The small bathroom is actually in the twin room. You do have to walk through the full bedroom to get to the twin room. This wasn’t a problem for us. Living room was great, spacious enough for us to sit, watch movies and visit. The kitchen size and space is fairly large.The kitchen supplies/utensils are good and you can cook there without any problems other than the stove. It is very small, not full size and only has one rack. It still had four burners on top but, the oven could have used another rack. I cooked a lot and made due without any major issues, just had to plan out timing of dishes. Washer and dryer work well. There is a small table on the closed in back porch area, where the washer/dryer are, it is a very peaceful place to sit and visit. There was a table and chairs for outside and we enjoyed sitting out under the tree and had wonderful weather. The parking is a little tight, it’s pull straight in and back out, no turn around space. If able I recommend backing in so you can see better getting out. Overall I was very pleased with this home! It was just what we needed!

Beautiful and peaceful little cottage

This little cottage home had enough room for our family college tour trip to Western Carolina University. I have to admit that I was a little worried when they said they had several "house rules" BUT this is by far the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in! There werr plenty of comfortable beds to accommodate 4 adults and our 2 teenagers. The property has neighbors, but you would never know it with as quiet as it was. We felt like we were tucked away in a remote place all to ourselves. The house/property across the street had some livestock that made it feel even more like a country cottage. The mountain views out the living room window was a beautiful sight to wake up to in the morning too. We loved the peaceful little cottage, and how easy it was to get to a store for shopping and a chain coffee shop if you wanted a treat as well. We were instructed to call the property manager when we checked out and I was surprised they picked up the phone so quickly at 6am when we headed out. They were extremely friendly even though I woke them up so early on a Sunday. We really had a wonderful visit and look forward to staying again in the future.
