I would highly recommend this cottage! It's in a wonderful and historic neighborhood close to downtown, yet it also provides a private oasis down a quaint alleyway. High ceilings, skylights and two large bedrooms cleverly maximize space and everything is extremely clean and comfortable. Michael is responsive and around if you need him, but otherwise he leaves you to explore on your own. I enjoyed my stay here immensely!

There was nothing not to like about this place. It's an older cottage but is immaculately kept and felt very clean. Very cozy, but the space was well used and it never felt too small despite having 2 adults and two preschool boys living there for a month. It felt small, but not TOO small. The driveway is a challenge, but I got a large Tundra up and down multiple times so it can be done if you're careful. The location - probably one of the best spots in Asheville for accessibility but also privacy and the neighborhood has amazing character. The property owner was easily contacted and responded promptly, he was available but never once did it feel imposing. Even when he left town he made sure we knew where he'd be and who to contact otherwise. Can't say enough good things about this cottage, if you book it you'll be more than pleased.

The guest house is clean, cozy, and comfortable. It is in a quiet location in a walkable neighborhood close to downtown. Our hosts were friendly and accommodating and the cottage is very well appointed. We liked it so much that we extended our stay! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful space! Tidy, cozy, private, and perfectly tucked away near downtown. Recommend to anyone looking for a home away from home in Asheville.

My wife and I stayed at the Carriage House for a month, and it's a most enjoyable place to appreciate lively downtown Asheville. It's eight minutes walking to the Grove Arcade, and a few more minutes to anywhere downtown. The flat is homey, the kitchen is cozy and comfortable, bathrooms are basic but workable. One bedroom is huge, the other smaller but fine for a couple. We loved the upper deck outside and we would have our coffee there every morning in complete privacy. The stack washer dryer worked fine [noisy in the spin cycle!] and the TV was digital. We brought our own Roku Box and the cable had the normal 68 [?] channels. Internet was excellent - about 50 mbps. The driveway will NOT take a large SUV like a Suburban, but our medium sized SUV was fine. Michael our host was most accommodating, and there if you need him. The three local restaurants are great....Tods, Chiesa and Nine Mile are all very popular with the locals.....great food, reasonable prices.

Stayed here for two months this spring. Loved it. Perfect location, close to everything. Cottage well equipped, and owner family was very attentive to our needs. Very clean. Difficult parking, but doable. Two great restaurants steps away.

Pros for the cottage: 1) Location 5 stars. Being able to walk downtown or to Harris Teeter or Trader Joe's was amazing. It was especially helpful when there was a foot of snow on the ground and cars were snowed in. Plus the Montford area was wonderful to walk through. 2) Cottage itself 4 stars. It was very comfortable and the furnishings were good. Overall it was in a quiet area. And it was very clean. Cons 1) Parking 1 star. I give it one star because there is off street parking. However it is very tough to get in and out of the parking area. I had a compact SUV and as careful as I was (and I was VERY careful) I scrapped my bumper. A much smaller car might be fine. Also there are only 3 spaces. One for each unit and an extra. When I was there there were two cars at the carriage house so no extra space for visitors. 2) When I was there the cottage was missing a coffee maker and tea kettle. I brought my own. There was a small French press. 3) Dog barking - for those sensitive to dog barking there are 3 dogs 2 houses down and when they are out they are barking loudly. Also the owner had what I call a yapper - a small dog with an annoyingly loud bark. It would come out all hours of the day and night and run to the fence by the cottage and bark at nothing. 4) Wireless - it was fast but shared between the two units. If the other unit was using something bandwidth intensive like Netflix the wireless slowed down to a crawl. There was a backup wireless that was much slower but when the faster wireless network was down for a big chunk of time this slow link was used by both units and by someone at the main house. It was very slow at times too. Would I stay here again? No the parking is too difficult to use. It might be OK with a much smaller car. Would I recommend this to others? No

My husband and I stayed here for a month, with our 3 year old son. It was very quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed. Greenlife and Trader Joe's are within walking distance, and there are plenty of parks and trails nearby. The location is perfect for getting to know Asheville. Everything was clean and cozy, and the owner was very helpful. I'd definitely recommend this rental!

My husband and I spent the month of October in this wonderful cottage. The decor was cozy and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Very quiet location. Great wifi. Easy walk to downtown. In beautiful historic district. There are restaurants nearby and groceries just a few blocks away. We have been traveling full time for nearly two years (renting as we go) and this was our favorite place to date. I would highly recommend this rental.

My husband, daughter and I stayed here over a long holiday weekend. The house was very convenient to all Asheville has to offer and was very nicely appointed. Mike, the owner, was easy to get a hold of when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again.

We were so fortunate to find this Montford rental home for our transition to Asheville. It was up to date, modern, and conveniently located within the city of Asheville. The home is tastefully decorated and was very comfortable for my husband and I and our two young sons while we looked for a home to purchase. We're so thankful the cottage was available as we made our transition to Asheville. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a convenient, comfortable rental home in Asheville. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!
