The only issue was the pull out bed in the couch. It probably needs to be checked & cleaned after each stay. Lots on dog hair, crumbs & dead insects. So we found frustrating and changed our sleeping arrangements. Other then that it was clean and check in & out was easy. Very good location. Beautiful view.

We enjoyed a short weekend stay at the Royal Cottage. I was unsure of where to stay when planning our trip, but this location worked well. Pros: *Views! I loved sunrise over the backdrop of the mountains. *The master bed was comfortable. *Having the 3 bedrooms upstairs with 2.5 bathrooms suited our family well. *We spent little time at the house, but it is stylish and I like the relaxing colors of the master bedroom. *Quiet, residential neighborhood up a winding road and hill. *Not too far from Ashville and other communities like Black Mountain. * Near Biscuit-Head and Rocky’s Hot Chicken * We did not cook, but the kitchen seemed well equipped. *Complete binder with instructions and suggestionsCons: Anyone who would not like stairs or a steep driveway should avoid. Otherwise, a great selection with a cozy feel with nice scenery.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.
