Girls get away
This was a perfect fit for my best friend and I to meet up for a week of relaxation and exploring the area. The location made it easy to get to Ashville and Black Mountain and the surrounding areas for our adventures. We loved the back porch for breakfast and cards in the evening.

Perfect for our needs
For our 3 day weekend in Asheville, this property was perfect! Close to a grocery store and a few fun restaurants in the area, and to get to downtown was just a short under 20 minute drive. The property was clean and had all the things we needed. The back yard was a bonus with being fenced in and perfect for the kiddos to run around. It also seemed to be a safe area with wonderful views! If we are coming back in the area we will definitely look up the Cardinal Cottage again. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Very clean, comfortable and well stocked.
Just FYI, the night light in the master bath needs a new bulb. Really enjoyed our stay. Did take the topper off the queen bed. Maybe just replacing the mattress would be a better fix.

Second Great Stay
We stayed at Nancy and Barry's place the first time about 2 years ago and again this past weekend. It was wonderful then and wonderful now. It's a very clean and nicely decorated 3 bedroom unit, with all the necessities. The hosts are very communicative from booking to check-in to check-out. Everything was easy and smooth. It's a great location and a short drive from everything. Highly recommend. I give them an A+ :)

Family visit
House is comfy. Our three year old twins grands stayed for a day with us and played. Our oldest grandson spent one night. All in all stay was fine. My grandson did play an outside game they had set up with a ball. He did not put the balls back on the court. My mistake I def should have checked. This was brought to my attention via the host. Not sure that was necessary but ok. Overall nice place to stay.

Swan Cottage
Great location & comfy house. The back deck was wonderful for dinner & relaxing after a day of exploring! The road was pleasant for taking evening strolls & nearby Charles Owen Park was a delightful way to start my mornings! I would stay at this cottage again although I would need a lesson on how to operate the TV & open windows (probably user error!!)!!

Everything we were promised.
We needed a place to stay close to Black Mountain without paying the Black Mountain prices that had everything we needed. We found it. It was our sons graduation and the last thing we needed was to worry about our stay. Plenty of room for my wife and our 2 adult children. If would sleep probably 6 or 8. It was very clean. Within a 5 minute drive to almost everything. The property had all the supplies we needed and had plenty of additional blankets and pillows. The owners were very polite and responded promptly. Thank you for helping us make ours sons graduation a pleasant one.

BEAUTIFUL, clean, and comfortable! :-D
This lovely, spacious cabin was incredibly comfortable for our party of 5! We had two adults, two 18-year olds, and a 20-year-old. There was plenty of space for everyone.
The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed, and we ate almost all our meals there. All the appliances were current and worked wonderfully well.
The beds all had SUPER comfortable memory foam mattress, so we all slept like logs! ;-)
Everything in the house was labeled and easy to find and had instructions for use.
It was a beautiful area, convenient to Black Mountain and Asheville with a fenced-in backyard for younger kids.
We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Clean and organized
When we travel and use VRBO we generally search for properties that are rated "clean" and are usually disappointed. This property is actually clean and well maintained. Whole house is very organized and instructions are clear and not overly complicated. Easy communication with nice owners. Easy to get on 70 or 40 to head in to Asheville or Black Mountain. We would stay here again.
