Charming place with real character located in a great neighborhood that is somehow isolated yet close to everything you need. It is obvious that so much thought and love has gone into the property. Everything you need is here - they treat you like family! Great communication with the host.

Fabulous rental
Le Canard is quaint and homey, a perfect rental for our 4 adults. The owner really thinks about what you might need and has it there, just in case. It is beautifully decorated inside and landscaped outside. We would like to return in the future.

Perfect Place!
This cozy home had a perfect cottage feel. It is located in an established neighborhood with beautiful mature trees and shrubbery. Very well maintained and everything you need to feel like you are in a home away from home. Beds are comfy and it's quieter than a hotel! You are close to all kinds of shopping and restaurants. We hope to return one day!

French Flair in Quiet Arden Neighborhood
The cottage was cozy- perfect for evenings in reading by the fire. The decor is French country chateau, complete with some decorative antiques. I appreciated the comfy bed and well-stocked kitchen, especially the chef’s stove. The neighborhood is located near many cool restaurants and things to do. Having laundry facilities was a huge plus. Communication with the owner was easy.

Charming cottage, perfect location!
If you love vintage, this is the perfect place to stay! It is centrally located to most anything you would want to do in the Asheville area. The cottage is beautifully decorated in a country French style and the owners include extra amenities such as champagne chilling in the fridge and coffee for the Keurig.

Lovely and cozy cottage!
My husband I stayed here for 2 nights before Christmas. Very cute cottage tucked away in the woods. Quick drive to the Biltmore Estate and downtown Asheville. The beds were a bit creaky and could probably use some newer mattresses, but other than that, the place was super and had everything we needed.

Lovely French Inspired Cottage
This cottage was perfect for two couples and it was close to Ashville so we could run in for a nice supper. It was also located near good grocery stores and 12 Bones, my favorite barbeque restaurant in Asheville. The decor was cheery and the kitchen was fully stocked so made cooking a fun experience. I would definitely stay here again and enjoy the quiet surroundings.

Welcoming Country Cottage
My husband and I were very pleased with our clean, comfortable accommodations. We had everything we could possibly need during our five night stay. The owner, Claudia, was responsive from the moment we made our reservation, to our arrival, and upon check out. The twin bed in the sunroom was the perfect reading nook! The location was perfect for us since we have family in Asheville and Hendersonville. We plan to return in the future!
