Great property and host!

Couldn’t have been a better place to bring our family for a restful weekend. The house was perfect for our family’s needs and was very well appointed and lacked nothing that we needed. The extra touches Lindsey provided made the stay even more special. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

Great house for a vaca in Smokies

Great home, well appointed, spotless, beautiful setting. Lindsey answered questions incredibly fast and was very accommodating. It is about 20’ outside of Asheville proper, fyi (but that was fine by us).

Perfect!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Hilltop Cottage 2! So spacious for three couples and everything we needed (and more!) was right there. Beautifully decorated and well appointed. Such a personal touch, leaving the sweet basket of fresh eggs, Craft Beer and chocolates! Our stay at Hilltop Cottage was the icing on the cake to our fun trip to Asheville!

Wonderful Getaway

We rented this cabin at the last minute with the intent to spend most of our time in Asheville exploring downtown and The Biltmore. After checking in, we changed plans and ended up spending much more time in the cabin than anticipated. The layout was perfect for several adults; the rooms and bedrooms were comfortable and inviting; and the amenities were wonderful! We’re already planning our next visit with the intent to stay in the cabin longer!!

Exceeded our expectations!

This was by far the nicest rental we have ever enjoyed! The amenities are incredible and definitely high-end luxury. Lindsey was wonderful to work with and very responsive. We toured UNC Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, enjoyed outlet shopping, a day hike off the Blue Ridge and dined at the Grove Park Inn. What a magical 4 days for our family of 5!

Great experience

The house exceeded our expectations. It is all in the details in the little extra touches from the local coffee, honey, jam or even the heater on the outside screen porch that are provided by the owner. The house fit our family perfect, we only wish we had more time to enjoy the screened in porch and views. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Wonderful Getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. It was beyond clean and the host went above and beyond with all the extras to ensure that we were comfortable. There were organic dog treats, local bath soaps, local beers, coffee & creamer, etc. Our kids loved the outside space and the screened in porch got a ton of use. We were able to truly relax, as well as spend time in Asheville, which is only a short 15-20 minute drive. We look forward to returning soon!

The Perfect Respite!

We’ve been fortunate to enjoy summer vacation in some fantastic locations the last few years, but the Covid situation caused us to look toward Asheville. The Hilltop Cottage was EXACTLY the spot we were looking for to get away from home, relax in the mountains, and do some amazing family hikes. And the fact that we got to bring along our dog made it that much better. The owners of this property thought of everything and made us feel very welcome. Our 8 year old daughter couldn’t stop raving about it the first night (all through dinner:) And did we ever luck out to be here while the lightning bugs were out...what a treat!

Beautiful, cozy, and quiet home.

Our family had a wonderful weekend together staying at the Hilltop Cottage. Lindsey did an amazing job of making us feel at home with cozy furnishings, tons of utensils and appliances in the kitchen, and rocking chairs on the porch that look out over the trees and rolling hills. There were even fresh eggs from the farm across the street waiting for us in the fridge. The only regret we had was not having more time to spend at the house to enjoy all of the property. We had a jam packed weekend this time, but plan to add a day or two to our trip next time to ensure we get to use the amenities a little bit more.

Family Break

What a lovely and relaxing week. The home was perfect for my husband and I to have our privacy, as well as my two adult daughters, with their family. We each had our own space, and yet we had plenty of space to be all together as well. 6 adults and 2 children, aged 2 and 3, plus our dog! Lindsey has everything you need and more. And when we forgot our pack-n-play for our 2 year old to sleep in, she offered to reimburse us if we bought one, so she could have it at the house. We absolutely enjoyed our stay! I’m sure we will be back in the future!

Convenient to Yesterday Spaces

This is my new fav rental in town. Excellent amenities, enough space for people to get away from each other, great parking, snacks, it's the whole package. Was perfect for us and our small wedding party, and the commute to the venue was under a minute! Prob not ideal for people wanting to be in the heart of AVL, but the chirping frogs and nonexistent traffic was better than any tourist attraction, hands down.

This is the third time I have stayed at the cottage, and it is equally wonderful each and every time! It is so clean and well-kept with the perfect amount of space for multiple families/couples. The hosts are very thoughtful adding lots of little extra touches to make your stay special. We look forward to coming back again next year!

I can’t wait to come back

I can’t say enough about the beauty of this home, property and view. The view is breath taking, sitting on the main floor screen porch is so tranquil. The home is so clean and comfortable, and privacy is easy if you have multiple families in your party. A little drive from activities that we did, but no more than 20-30 min and privacy at the end of the day is nice. The owners were readily available for assistance and very kind.

Peaceful Retreat

Hilltop cottage is beautifully maintained and appointed with everything your group will need for a few days stay to an even longer respite. We chose to stop in Asheville for a few days on a longer drive to Florida. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate, and we didn't have much time to explore the outdoors or town, but the cottage provided a cozy place to rest and enjoy the quiet with each other and our pup. She even loved the dog bed and dishes provided for her. Recommend 100%

Great place!!

This was our first family vacation. Myself and my husband, my brother and his wife, plus our mother. Everyone had their own space and privacy. Having two kitchens was a great bonus. When we got the fir out going, it was awesome. Lindsey thought of every detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. When we got there, we couldn’t figure out the heating. She gladly came over and fixed it for us. When we were going to grill out, we were going to get another propane tank. I wanted to confirm with her first, that we could switch it out. She checked what she had at home and it was replaced. I would definitely stay here again! It was perfect. First family vacation was a success!
