Quaint and picturesque are the 2 words I would use to describe the cottage. Small but upscale and has all the modern conveniences you would need. Excellent location. 5 minute drive to downtown. Exceptional hosts that provided great insights/suggestions for local eateries and activities. We walked to dinner our first night based on their feedback and the meal was amazing.

Hosts are very friendly and helpful. The place is immaculate and comfortable. No TV but there is a bluetooth, and the kitchen is nice. The neighborhood is quiet and charming, and the location is very convenient.

We have visited the Asheville area annually for over 15 years and love the area. What a great find this was because for the first time we were able to minimize our driving by staying in town at this perfect little cottage. Joe and Annie are delightful hosts and take great pride in providing a wonderful experience for their guests. The cottage is perfect in every way- immaculate, serene and beautifully refurbished with a beautifully landscaped surrounding garden - both are lovingly maintained. The area is quite but has many nearby conveniences, Whole Foods (GreenLife) and Trader Joe’s are nearby. We can’t wait to plan our next trip.

My husband and I recently stayed in Anne and Joe's cottage in Ashville. First of all the cottage is bright and open floor plan. Everything looks new and shiny. The kitchen is modern and we enjoyed having breakfast there-trader Joes our favorite place to shop is minuets away. The bed is very comfortable and the linens are great. The setting is beautiful -loved the swing. Joe has a book that outlines everything you need to know about the area-both Anne and Joe are very welcoming -wish we had more time there .Rhubarb was one of the best restaurants we have eaten in and my husband are foodies. I would give this cottage a 5 star rating !!

The Cottage is everything you need in Ashville. It is intimate, comfortable, so clean, and charming. The property is beautifully serene yet close to everything. Annie and Joe are fantastic! They are so sweet and caring. We will be back!

This charming cottage is perfect in every way! Well equipped, clean, stylish and walking distance to some of the best restaurants in town. Close to downtown, but secluded and quiet. The beautiful grounds - complete with bunny rabbits - are perfect for enjoying a cup of morning coffee or glass of wine in the evening. The owners were as charming as the cottage and their restaurant recommendations were spot on. We also enjoyed the walking trails and botanical gardens that were nearby. I can't wait to return!

This cottage was so cute! Nestled in a quaint yard with beautiful plants and a hammock, this small cottage had everything we needed for a great weekend. Anne was super helpful and made some great suggestions for what to do in the area. We will definitely be back!

From the moment we arrived, this charming cottage was exactly what we needed - a quiet, simple place to relax and enjoy time away. Joe and Anne have done a fantastic job making the smaller space extremely functional. There is a lot packed into less than 400 square feet, and it all works. We especially appreciated the small kitchen and refrigerator. My wife, an interior designer, quickly fell in love with the entire cottage.

We loved our stay at the cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful and clean; it sits on a lovely, quiet piece of property that is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Anne and Joe were wonderful hosts; not one detail was overlooked. The cottage was extremely close to wonderful restaurants, grocery stores and shopping, and the nearby greenway provided a lovely walk to downtown. We were sad to leave! We look forward to returning very soon.

I stayed at this cottage for 6 nights. It was very clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. In the evenings, I walked down to the UNC Botanical Gardens via the Greenway and walked to Luella's BBQ and Plant for dinner. This cottage is so close to everything, but set back far enough from Merrimon Ave. that it's very quiet and private. The privacy was wonderful, something you never get from a hotel. I would keep the blinds open at night and awaken to the view of the beautiful gardens right outside the window. Annie & Joe are wonderful hosts. They've created a very nice book that explain how to operate everything in the cottage along with local attractions and their favorite restaurants. I'm chemically sensitive, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that Annie & Joe practice green cleaning.. The sheets and towels were crispy white but didn't have the strong bleach smell that hotels always have. This will be the place I will stay whenever I return to Asheville.

My husband and I stayed at the Cottage while we attended a conference at the Grove Park Inn. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love. We were greeted by the owners and felt right at home. They were so welcoming. The cottage has been renovated with a modern/contemporary feel along with several efficiencies. It is 8 mins from the Grove Park Inn and 8 mins from downtown Asheville. Lots of local eateries are close by. Overall, we had an amazing get away. We highly recommend staying at the Cottage for your weekend away.

My husband and I were visiting family in Asheville and were looking for a place to spend a few nights. This perfect little cottage was where we stayed and we hit the jackpot. Anne and Joe were the perfect hosts and very helpful on places to check out in Asheville. The cottage is located close enough to walk downtown, and is located very close to the interstate for great access. The cottage was meticulously designed, re-modeled, and maintained. The kitchen provides you with any all the necessary equipment to cook a full meal. The quaint sitting area has a nice love seat and sitting chair. The bathroom is perfect, well designed and laid out. The shower and counter space are great. We look forward to returning to Asheville soon and will be staying here!

what an amazing find....we loved, loved, loved this cottage. the location was fantastic, close to everything yet tucked away enough to make you feel relaxed. Anne and Joe were incredible hosts, they were so helpful, friendly... and you just can tell the love they have poured into this cottage. It has everything you need for a luxurious getaway, we felt pampered and spoiled from the moment we pulled into the driveway. we will be back for sure!!!

My husband and I wanted to find a quiet and cozy retreat for our 10th anniversary. We found it here with Annie & Joe. They are the most gracious and thoughtful hosts. They have put so much thought into their carriage house, from the lighting, to the lovely soap, to the flowers and added coffee, this place became home in just a matter of days. It's also perfectly located. It's just a short walk to UNC Asheville and about a mile from downtown. We debated between choosing a VRBO rental in downtown and one in the mountains, but we found the most perfect home in Asheville. You should choose it too. We can't wait to return.

We went to Asheville for a wedding and we really enjoyed this cottage. Everything was perfect, the cottage is very clean, with a beautiful light, a comfortable bed and modern amenities. Location is charming and quite as its surrounded by nature but also very close to downtown. Annie & Joe are great hosts, very kind and attentive during our whole staying. We will repeat in our next trip and we recommend it for a charming experience in Asheville.

My husband and I visited Asheville as a potential place to move to. Annie and joe were so lovely and welcoming and helpful. We so enjoyed our stay and enjoyed some of Annie and joe's suggestions. We would definitely stay here again!

Anne and Joe’s small cottage, located one mile north of the downtown core of Asheville, was a wonderful location for our 10-day visit to the area. The layout is comfortable, with an L-shaped living/sleeping/dining area and a large bathroom (with a great shower, by the way). The cottage was exceptionally clean and well-tended with tasteful colors and decor throughout. The bed was very comfortable, and it was a pleasure to wake up each day in the wooded surroundings listening to the local birds. Our hosts were most accommodating, with excellent knowledge of the local area. Anne even made sure that there were fresh flowers in the room throughout our stay. It seemed that they were very attuned to our personalities and gave us just the amount of attention that was comfortable without being overbearing or leaving us feeling ignored. For a peaceful couples getaway location, I highly recommend The Cottage in Asheville.

This rental is true to advertising and more. Very well appointed and clean. The grounds are very well taken care of and very private. Annie and Joe are great hosts and very knowledgeable of the area. The location couldn't be better. I went to do some road biking and its a great place to start and finish. A short walk and you are downtown. I didnt even drive my car until it was time to go.

Annie and Joe are the nicest, most thoughtful owners I've encountered via VRBO. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the owners who helped me unpack and understand elements of the cottage. I was also very impressed by the thoughtful gesture of freshly cut flowers in each space of the house. There was also an informative notebook that the owners lovingly created with directions for using all the cool amenities in the space as well as with information about all their personal favorites in Asheville and the surrounding area, which was very helpful for my daughter and I as we navigated our way around town and through the mountains of NC. The cottage was also exceptionally clean and bright; its uncluttered and serene setting relaxed me immediately. The grounds of the property are simply magical, and I could tell the owners take great pride in their property. Flower gardens and a well-manicured setting make it a relaxing space to unwind after traversing the city and the mountains; my daughter and I also both enjoyed the hammock, resting in it in the evening and admiring the mountain sky. Also, you can't beat the location -- it's in the heart of everything and is an easy drive to most anywhere. Lots of fun places within walking distance as well; ask Annie or Joe anything about things to see, and they'll help you find exactly what you're looking for. The owners have created a quintessential, Asheville hideaway with great attention to green living. They also respect the privacy of their guests; even though they live adjacently to the property, I really felt as if I had the space all to myself, and I believe this was by design. I am exceptionally appreciative of the care the owners have put into their cottage, and will always remember my trip to Asheville...as well as the memories I created with my daughter there. Annie said to me that they try to make the space feel like it's the first time any guest has stayed there, and it shows. I really did feel as if they put in a lot of effort to create an inviting, comfortable setting for us to have a much needed vacation.

My wife and I spent the weekend at the cottage and could not have asked for a better time. The cottage was quaint and stylish. While small, the space was well laid out (and who needs a lot of space for a romantic weekend?). When we arrived, Annie and Joe met us and showed us around, and even had fresh flowers throughout the cottage! It was a pleasure to meet Joe and Annie, they were both so friendly and warm. Great cottage with great 'neighbors'. If we do a weekend like this again, we would love to stay here again.
