Wonderful Cottage Near Downtown

I and two artist pals stayed at Ivy Cottage for several days starting 2/29/12. It was our home-away-from-home while we attended a workshop in the river arts district. It is located in a charming residential area, nestled between trees and ivy on a corner lot. There is ample parking and easy access to downtown Asheville and al the sights. The cottage is decorated with lots of wonderful art and is furnished with every imaginable convenience. The beds were heavenly and the decks off the main level and walk out basement offered views of the neighboring sights. The swings on either deck invited us to linger and watch the birds. I strongly recommend this property.

Wow!! I was fortunate enough to stay in Ivy Cottage for a whole week! What a marvelous place! So quiet and yet such a convenient location. I enjoyed walking the neighborhood. Loved the swing on the deck! Every comfort and convenience has been provided. The beds were divine, the kitchen well appointed and I could have stayed forever! I will definitely stay at Ivy Cottage again!!

This is the place to stay in Asheville! We spent six wonderful weeks in Ivy Cottage. The neighborhood is great; the cottage is beautifully appointed, well equipped, and comfortable. The porches, the swings, the hammock-- all made our visit even better. The owner was very accommodating. All in all, a wonderful house.

We couldn't have been happier with the location or the ambiance of the Ivy Cottage. The cottage is charming, and cozy with high quality linens and everything you need for cooking. We were extremely happy with this rental, it's in a great location in Asheville, close to the Grove Park and downtown, in a quiet pedestrian friendly neighborhood. The exterior of the cottage is lovely, with lots of room for entertaining, or relaxing. I give this rental 5 stars.

No need to look elsewhere. There are no words to describe the beauty of the home, inside and out..It was incredible..clean, very luxurious. The gourmet kitchen was stocked with every implement and spice you would need. The home is just blocks from the Grove Park Inn. The neighborhood is just beautiful from its beautiful, flowered medians and the neighborhood turkeys. So charming. This home has the best location for everything.

There are no words to describe the feeling when you arrive at the cottage. The pictures posted were great but it does not come close to being there. From the grounds to the front entryway. It just gets better. The cottage was elegant with high end linens. A gourmet kitchen to please the best cook. THe location in the part of Asheville near the Grove Park Inn is fabulous. You are close to everthing.!

We spent two wonderful days at the Ivy Cottage. Cooked a fabulous meal in it's very comfortable, renovated kitchen. Dined elegantly in its beautifully appointed dining area. Lounged luxuriously on its huge porch (with porch swing and grill). Slept soundly in very comfortable beds with lovely linens. Enjoyed every moment in this charming cottage. It's just fabulous and we can't wait to return. Thanks so much for a very memorable stay.

The Ivy Cottage is charming; located in an idyllic setting tucked away in the lush greenery of Asheville. The cottage is not only comfortable, but superbly outfitted for a serene respite from the city. The Ivy cottage was Immaculate and confortable top to bottom with all amenities needed for comfort and relaxation. The stone Cottage is out of a storybook!

We stayed at the Ivy Cottage with some friends for a weekend of exploring and dining in Asheville. When we walked in, we were all blown away with how fantastic this place was. Spotlessly and immaculately clean, the number one priority, was above and beyond expectations. The bedrooms were fantastically appointed, with high-quality linens, pillows and bedding. The bathroom was more than adequate, and decorated with as much thought as the rest of the house. The living room was inviting, beautifully decorated, and generally felt good to inhabit. The kitchen had absolutely everything one could need to prepare sustenance, from a cup of coffee, to a full meal. Good quality, matched flatware and dishes, pots and pans that I would use in my own home, and other touches that enable one to feel at home. The deck was sublime, overlooking landscaping and trees. It was a peaceful oasis in the morning as we drank coffee and enjoyed watching the antics of various species of birds. All in all this was a peaceful, extremely well-appointed neighborhood. It felt wonderful to wake up in such a home each day, and take a morning jog in a serene setting.

This accommodation is the cleanest, best organized I've ever stayed in, and like the TV add, "I've been everywhere, man." Spotless, tastefully appointed and amazingly well equipped...fantastic bed and pillows.

OK, contrary to evidence so far, my mother doesn't own the Ivy Cottage. I am cheap, demanding and quick to find fault, but Ivy was a delightful surprise. The house was absolutely spotless, tastefully appointed and impressively equipped. You'll want to take the king bed home with you, but don't. I always take my own pillow, but forgot. Not a problem and I've rarely ever made that statement. New gas grill. Inviting, cozy feel, CD player w/remote, tandem washer/dryer, terrific deck. TV set on Golf Channel! I hate hotels/motels. Overpriced, no kitchenette, tipping somebody every five minutes; was scheduled to stay at Grove Park Inn and very fortunate to find Ivy as an alternative. Close to Grove Park, Merrimon(sp) Ave (Rte 25), supermarkets and downtown. Quiet residential setting. I've stayed at A LOT of places; this was a real find.

Just as it began to snow, I looked out the window and the love of my lifewas on his knee and asked me to spend the rest of our lives together, and asked if I would marry him! I said YES!
