What a lovely, well decorated & stocked home with great mountain views! Tucked in a quiet neighborhood south of Asheville. Contact with Darlene & Ron was always good/quick.
I was really impressed with the location of this property being fairly close to town and yet in the mountains and very quiet and peaceful. Great views. Owner's agent, Ron Mashburn, incredibly responsive to us with a little issue we had and resolved quickly to our satisfaction. We will be back.
We had a great visit in North Carolina! This house was wonderful! Such beautiful views from the decks, the beds were comfy, it was quiet and peaceful at the end of busy, activity filled days!
We stayed a week at this home with our two adult children and dog and it was a great experience. The home is clean, has so many amenities, and a beautiful master bath and master balcony. The wrap-around deck offers three sitting areas, including some that are covered for rainy days. The mountain views, especially from the master balcony, are beautiful. We had a lot of fun in Asheville, and this home's location is close to downtown, the River Arts District, Biltmore, and many other locations. We would definitely stay here again. One note: Be aware that black bears roam around this property, including the fenced backyard. It was really cool seeing them, but also a little scary, especially if you're out at night. This is probably going to be a factor in all Asheville locations, though. We would definitely recommend this home ... 10 out of 10!
This house was one of the best rentals we have used for vacationing! It was a multigenerational trip with oldest being 70 and youngest 11. Very clean, well organized and great views! Also very well stocked, all bathrooms had hand soap and toilet paper for our stay. Located right near south Asheville, Arden was the perfect location to either pop into Hendersonville or Downtown Asheville. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
The Royal Cottage was perfect for our long weekend in Asheville. It's well located between Asheville and Hendersonville, clean, spacious and well-equipped!
My husband and I and 2 other couples decided to do a quick long weekend getaway to the Biltmore. We chose this house for the views and space! We brought our English cocker spaniel, Pepper. The property was a great set up and worked well with our stay! It was about 1 hour from the âPretty Place Chapelâ and about 15 minutes from the Biltmore entrance. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! It made our stay from Georgia wonderful!
We enjoyed our stay at Royal Cottage! The location was great for mountain biking in the area and dining out. We had a place to safely store our mountain bikes for the week when not in use which was nice. The house offered a great outdoor area with pretty mountain views from the back deck or covered side porch with plenty of seating for everyone. The property's backyard is fenced but you must use the deck stairs off the back of the house and down to the driveway to access the gate into the backyard which was fine for our situation.
It was wonderful to see the changing sunrises from day to day! The house is laid out very nicely. We enjoyed our stay. Ron, the property manager, helped us out many times. We appreciated it.
Would stay again!
We attended a family wedding and decided to stay in a VRBO instead of hotel. Our decision was the correct one. The house was in a quiet neighborhood, was extremely clean and close to where we needed to be.
Great gathering spot, whether in living room, dining room, or kitchen.
Nice eastern view for sunrise.
Easy access to downtown Asheville, Blue Ridge Pwky, Pisgah National Forest, Brevard area (Dupont), Mt Mitchell, and Chimney Rock.
Not only is it a beautiful house but the view is beautiful. The deck faces east so we were able to see the sun rise over the mountains. Since we were there in October the leaves were colorful. We agree with other reviews that the driveway could be a problem in snow and ice. We were looking for housing near Asheville where we could see mountains and this fit the bill. Great communication with the manager.
Was a great place to getaway and enjoy the mountains. The heating and cooling systems are a bit challenging to navigate but they can be mastered so you are comfortable. During our stay, it required air conditioning in part of the day but heat at night.
Great views from the decks! The house was well stocked and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed spending time there. We would have liked to have access to the fenced back yard, but other than that, it was perfect!
Short vacation for wife & I to meet up w my sister from Oregon and honor our parents who spent many years in NC. The home is almost at the top of the mountain and has an amazing view to ghe east, esp of the sunrise! Nice beds & linens, excellent kitchen furnishings and appliances, nice furniture and big (enough) screen tv in the L/R. Kitchen even has nice sharp Henckels knives! Really nice pots, pans & dinnerware as well- well above the normal Walmart quality usually found in VRBOâs.
Couple of thoughts- driveway is VERY VERY STEEP so if youâre coming when theyâre expecting snow you might be stuck and unable to leave. Also, all the bedrooms are upstairs so beware if you have someone w mobility issues. Finally we found one of the flip-up garbage cans raided by raccoons overnight (not our trash but was our mess) so make sure anything that smells like food goes in one of the more sealable trash cans.
Overall was a great trip even to ouch we had a couple of rainy days. Thems the breaks.
