This charming garden cottage exceeded all our expectations. It is cozy and peaceful with a lovely deck overlooking a beautiful private yard. Inside is equally tranquil with well appointed furnishings and lovely touches. It truly felt like “coming home” each time we came through the door. One of the nicest VRBO rentals we have ever stayed at. Our host has created a perfect setting for a wonderful stay with a very easy checkout process. We hope to come back here again!

Everything about our visit was perfect. The house is very close to the center of Asheville, yet you feel like you are a million miles away with the beautiful gardens, cool breezes, and silence. It is a great getaway that has everything that you need to relax and renew. I highly recommend this property and will likely return every year!

Quiet place just a few miles away from downtown that has been meticulously maintained. Quickly could access downtown, the highway, or the Blue Ridge parkway. Loved the wood stove which really provides some great ambiance.

A Lovely Retreat

We so enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful, the space is airy inside, spacious, with up-to-date amenities. Sitting on the deck enjoying the gardens with so many flowers was a joy. It was such a healing place!

Lovely stay in Asheville

This house is great for two couples, the location is private, quiet, well maintained, and fully equiped. We go to Asheville every year for leaf peeping and we really enjoyed this spot with our friends. Thanks for the great kitchen supplies!

This is a lovely rental on a quiet cul-de-sac at the end of a one-lane gravel road. The property offers privacy while being only a few minutes from downtown Asheville. The house is impressively clean with great extras that made our stay very comfortable. Marion has been very thoughtful in outfitting this rental. The Kitchen and bathrooms are well-stocked for your stay. Both of the beds are comfortable and bedrooms inviting. The primary bathroom is especially lovely, with both a walk-in shower and a free-standing soaking tub. We were greeted with a friendly note and a vase of flowers. We highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Asheville stay

The house is very comfortable and well provisioned. It’s in a great location, and sits on a very quiet and lovely street away from the hustle and bustle. The owner has been highly responsive and answered all our questions, including addressing our questions about the measures being taken during Covid.

Perfect Mountain Cottage

The cottage was perfect for us! It is at the top of the mountain so it snowed the first night we were there, which we loved. It is only about 2 - 2 1/2 miles to downtown Ashville and is close to everything. It looks like it has been recently refreshed and had everything we needed. We wish we had more time and could have stayed longer.

Asheville Home Away from Home

Our stay at this secluded garden cottage was wonderful. The property is a nature lover's paradise, with a furnished deck for enjoying a cup of coffee and enjoying the nature that the mountains have to offer. The home is beautifully furnished and felt very comfortable, while providing every convenience imaginable. It is truly a place that one can stay for a few days, as well as long term. We would definitely recommend Marion's home.

Gorgeous and Cozy

The Garden Cottage was hidden up a winding road on the mountain, in a perfect, secluded spot, but not too hard to find! The exterior garden is incredible, buzzing with bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. So romantic! The interior was beautifully understated and rustic, with a lovely upstairs master bath. Close enough to downtown, yet far enough away to enjoy much needed peace and quiet. Wonderful.

The property was great. The pictures on VRBO are exactly what you get. The cottage is in a beautiful area where you feel like you are secluded but you are just minutes from town. There is a large deck that looks out onto a peaceful garden - great for morning coffee! The kitchen was well appointed with cookware, utensils, spices, etc. There was also a grill on the deck which turned out to be useful when the power went out due to a downed tree. We found the beds to be comfortable as well. Definitely a property I would not hesitate to return to.

Fall Girls Trip

The property was exactly as listed and we had a terrific stay! You can’t beat the location close to Asheville and although it was a little tough to navigate the roads in the dark when we first checked in, we learned the twists and turns to get down the hill and this was a great place to stay. The inside is lovely and plenty of space and thoughtful accommodations. The host was super quick to respond and very accommodating to make sure we had a great trip. Would highly recommend

Charming!

We had a very nice stay at the cottage! It was clean and well-stocked with everything we need. The property is beautiful and the home is so cozy with the wood burning stove. We saw a mama bear and 2 cubs two evenings in a row nearby on the way to dinner!

greatmountain neighborhood

Downtown Ashville is 10 minutes away and you are living in a real mountain neighborhood. Marion's property is unassuming, comfortable, and leaves nothing to be desired. It's a charming little house nestled in a mountain neighborhood that gives you a taste of the kind of lifestryle you could have in Ashville. The only disappointment was we didn't see any bears. We did some accidental damage to one of marion's tables and didn't realize it before we left. She was extremely gracious when telling us about it. You don't get bells and whistles here but who needs it in Ashville.

Perfect property

We rented this cottage along with my sister in law and husband for 3 nights following our daughter’s wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location. Very convenient to downtown Asheville, beautifully furnished and very well stocked with everything we needed. The road down to the cottage is a little steep but perfectly navigable. We loved the peace and quiet and enjoyed the garden at breakfast as well as the wood stove in the evenings. The owner was super helpful and swift to answer a couple of questions. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property

We loved this property. It was the perfect size for a small family and so beautiful inside and outside. The gardens were lovely. The house was well stocked. It is very convenient to downtown Asheville. Marion was wonderful and very responsive. Our GPS took us the wrong way and we were completely lost. We called Marion and she stayed on the phone with us until we found the property! We would definitely stay here again.

A Beautiful and Quiet Setting Yet Close to Everything

The inside was clean and beautifully decorated with every kitchen amenity we needed. The flowers and card that greeted us was a nice touch. The bedrooms and bathrooms were so similar that neither couple felt that they were being shortchanged. The bumpy, and steep gravel driveway was the only negative and we were glad we escaped driving home at night or in the rain, but it should not be a deterrent because we quickly learned to navigate the bumps. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
