We got this rental for the days before our wedding. The place was very clean and our dog had to come at the last minute....

Fantastic Host!

We had an amazing 6 night stay at the Cottontail Cottage! The home had all the amenities a family needs and extras like games, books for kids, a great selection of kitchen equipment. They even had supplies to make a fire on the fire pit and dog bowls for our pup. The home was extremely clean and well cared for. We had an outstanding stay!

Great stay with family and the pups

Plenty of room for five adults, one child and two dogs. The kitchen was well stocked, and the house was very clean. The fenced in area was great for our pets. Great location if you are looking at staying outside the downtown area.

Great stay close to downtown

This is a great home! We were impressed with how clean and clutter-free the property was and with the clear (and concise) check-in/check-out directions from the property management company. There were ample towels and supplies, and the bed was comfortable. This house is also nicely situated in a quiet area, but very easily accessible to the downtown and Biltmore. We were able to easily return to check on our pets throughout the day without having to do a lot of driving. We also appreciated the updated shower, appliances, etc. and the decor. We will definitely look to stay here again!

spring break with college aged children

The house is excellent. Warm, inviting and clean. The location is right off the highway but in a wooded neighborhood so it felt very accessible but also away from the hub bub. We brought our dog, the yard was perfect for him. Kitchen has everything you need and the beds were comfy. Highly recommend!

great location

Very nice, updated home. Close to downtown Ashville and one and half hour from Sugar and Beech ski areas. Pretty drive. Biltmore 10 minutes away. Another tip Biltmore buy your passes for the day and then convert that day to a season pass for the difference you paid for the ticket. The rest of your trip you can go back to the Biltmore at no extra charge and use visit their restaurants and free wine tasting. Use their hiking trails and visit and other venues. All other Hiking trails all close to this rental. The ping pong table was great fun. One thing I did not take into consideration was the stairs entering the house. I have a senior dog; she could not make the trip up the steps. But there is another option take the side gate by the fire pit area and go to the back door. The fenced yard is perfect for the fur children. Also, another tip unload your gear thru the garage entry to the basement the steps inside the house are much easier to handle. Another fun event is the pinball museum downtown entry fee you play all day. Overall, a wonderful visit.

Great place to stay

Spent a week in Asheville with my wife recently - great house. Extremely clean, great features and well taken care of. We both worked remotely for the week and had no problems with internet, etc. Meanwhile the house was extremely convenient to nearly all of Asheville to enjoy the city. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area.

Clean, Cozy and Sweet

Great place to stay while visiting Asheville, NC! Simple but beautiful design, great place that’s close enough to downtown - about 8-10 car ride in. Great communication with management. And bonus there’s ping-pong table in the basement with all the things you’d need. We loved this space and look forward to visiting again!

Such a special place

We absolutely loved the cottontail cottage! The owners really paid attention to every detail. Everything we needed was at this house. It was clean, decorated super cute and in a great location. You’re about 10 min from everything! This house will always be special to us, because we got married during this stay! Our 10 month baby stayed with us here also and other than the stairs leading to the basement, it was pretty much baby proof (we did have to move a few things off the ground, but overall not bad!). We brought a gate for the stairs and it was fine. Definitely think about bringing one if you have little ones. We were so sad to leave this house, and really can’t wait to return 😊
