Nice and clean house

Cozy, clean and all around wonderful
What a great experience from beginning to end. The check in process was so easy and Katie has everything labeled with helpful notes around the house. She even has the TV listings numerically and alphabetically typed out. The attention to detail and the organization of the house was amazing.
The location was great as well. We went to Asheville for brunch at Over Easy Cafe and had lunch at Tupelo Honey. Both were great. Also tried out Native Kitchen which was only about 5 minutes away and so so good(get the Brussel sprouts). Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely book it again.

Spotless home within a short drive of Asheville
Very nice property. Home was very clean with everything you need for cooking etc. Décor was adorable. We were within 15 minutes to Asheville, 20 to Biltmore Estate property. Everything else to have fun and explore was all 10-20 minutes time.

Cute house
This was a great location for a family get together. Location was perfect for us, and we plan on returning. We went hiking and enjoyed visiting Asheville. Only suggestion would be to upgrade the single twin room to a double or queen bed. That would make it ideal for a couples retreat.

Felt like home
What a charming place to stay! So many thoughtful surprises for our family. From games and fresh cut flowers from the garden to our favorite, the tree swing. We wish we could have stayed longer. Very convenient to downtown Asheville yet feels away from it all.

We Keep Coming Back
Lovely house and it has everything you need to feel like you are at home.....but on vacation!! Myself and some friends have stayed here for an annual trip several years and we have never been disappointed.

Comfortable and charming cottage
This was the second time I stayed at Beekeeper Cottage... it was so nice the first time I opted to stay there again. In a quiet neighborhood, this beautifully decorated and immaculately kept home offers the best of both worlds: it's only minutes to both downtown Asheville and the Black Mountain area. Plenty of room for a family, but not too large for a couple to still feel cozy. The landscaped yard is large with a wonderful front porch for taking in the cool mountain breeze. Highly recommended!

A lovely spot
A lovely spot for our stopover. The house was comfortable and well-stocked! The kids especially enjoyed the yard and swing.

Something for everyone
This house is amazing. Has a lot of charm. A backyard for the kids, a nook for the adults and location for everyone. We would definitely stay here next time we come back to Asheville. It’s 15 minutes to Asheville , 15 to black mountain, and 25 to the airport. The only thing I would say it’s a bit far from sliding rock or looking glass but that shouldn’t deter anyone because you can just make a day out of it. Happy to have stayed here for sure.

New adventures
My husband and I came to the area with our niece to introduce her to hiking and see a state park. The Blue Ridge Mountains were the perfect level of difficulty (length, altitude, incline, etc.) to start her on, knowing we are flatlanders from ND. The Bee Tree cottage was a wonderful place to come home to afterwards. It was spacious, clean, and extremely charming. The outdoor space is perfect for a family with kids. It's fenced in and large enough to burn off some energy. The location was great; private, with mountain views, however, if you like city life, this isn't the place for you. At night the fire flies were out in groves!!! Katie (the owner) and Mindy (house manager) were wonderful to work with... the communication was timely and informative. We would definitely stay here again if we ever got back to the area.

MARYS KICK-ASS GIRLS WEEKEND
We are a group of ladies from Nashville who wanted a gals weekend. The Beekeeper Cottage was perfect! We just loved it! Extremely Clean and well stocked! Everything was well labeled and clear instructions on how to use the washer and dishwasher. Great location - close to everything! Katie and Mindy replied quickly when we had questions.
We had great fun at the piano bar and enjoyed lots of down time playing games at the Cottage and sitting on that fantastic swing on the front porch.
Would stay here again and recommend to any and everyone!

Perfect country house.
Lots of charm, lots of nooks indoors and out for a family of four to get away from each other and read, then come back together for meals

Beekeeper Cottage
We loved our stay. All was even more beautiful than pictures could show. Great neighborhood away from the business, but close to Asheville and surrounding areas. We would LOVE to return!

The house was super clean and allowed us to have a fun and relaxing weekend away from the city!

Weekend Get Away
This house was the perfect get away. There was lots of space, well stocked supplies, and beautiful places to sit and relax. Close enough to Asheville if you want to take a Uber or Lyft but not in the hustle of it all. Would love to stay here again.

Clean and comfy
Great place to stay and visit the Asheville area.! The cottage was very clean and had everything you would want to make your stay comfy. The little details of where things are located helped! This was a Sister vacation and did accommodate 4 adults well, but it is a small house and 5 would be crowded. The only minor issue was the dishwasher had a small leak, but no one minded washing dishes by hand. We old definitely stay here again!
