Lovely Space for an Asheville Get-Away

I had a wonderful time at Mike & Tom’s lovely place! They made sure I had everything I needed, whether it be for the space or even what to do around town! The space was EXACTLY what I needed for my weekend trip to attend a workshop. I look forward to staying there in the future 💚 Thank you!

Great Stay

Stayed here prior to Helene - I hope everyone is okay and the house is good. Great Hosts - this is a nice spot, easy walking to dinner, shops, short drive to downtown. Super clean, and cute. Had a bottle of wine, coffee, etc. Bed was super comfy - recommend it. And the little porch is super nice. Again, I hope everyone is good, Asheville and the surrounding area is a great place to visit.

Wonderful Secluded and Cozy Room!

We had a wonderful stay. The property managers were great. It was a quiet one room unit with a bathroom. I would have liked a bigger kitchenette with a hot plate or something of that nature to cook on. Other than that we loved it! Would return!

Perfect Little Weekend Spot

The cottage was super cute and the perfect setup for a weekend getaway. My husband and I and our three pups had a fantastic and comfortable stay. The side porch and rocking chairs for morning coffee was A++++. Hosts were great with communication and onsite, but completely respectful of privacy.

Peaceful at the peacock!

Staying at this cottage was so nice! We loved the colorful, peaceful retreat that offers everything you need for a wonderful stay. It’s perfect for a weekend or extended stay. This sweet cottage has a wonderful porch perfect for morning coffee, lovely furnishings in a rustic cabin feel yet so close to to places to eat and Asheville’s rich and diverse activities. The hosts are insight and ready to help if needed, with places to eat and things to do, however they respect privacy of their guests. Just a lovely stay, clean and comfortable, and most importantly to us, dog friendly! ♥️ Come stay and enjoy a unique space that is joyful and perfect for a much needed getaway.

Convenient and cute!

Convenient to anything you would want to do in Asheville, but yet you have plenty of privacy. We arrived late at night, and thanks to the host’s clear directions we had no problem locating parking and checking in. The decoration and welcome gift was absolutely delightful. I love all the little touches that made us feel comfortable and at home. Would definitely book again!

Cozy stay with great access to Asheville

Our room included bed, bath, clothes storage, small table and chairs, small refrigerator, perfect for our weekend stay. We were able to walk to several restaurants and downtown Asheville was a quick 5 minute drive. Nice front porch, surrounding area had sidewalks making it very easy to walk our dog.

This is a wonderful property within a couple of miles from most places and restaurants you’re likely to visit. The room is nicely furnished with a comfortable king bed and an updated bathroom. There’s also a porch with rocking chairs that we loved. Our host dropped by to welcome us and gladly provided restaurant recommendations. We’ll stay again when we’re back in Asheville.

Wonderful!

We had a wonderful time here! We had our two dogs who we took on walks to nearby coffee shops and parks. The location is very nice, just outside of downtown in a lovely neighborhood. The space is so clean and comfortable. It's like a large hotel suite, but much more charming! Overall, this place was fantastic! I hope we get the chance to stay here again.
