Great property

We stayed here for a week and it was great. The location was convenient to downtown which we liked. The property was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was great with a nice shower tub combo. They provide all the linens as well as a selection of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Our dogs loved the fully fenced back yard. Zoomies every day. All in all it was a great stay and responsive owners. Final note they left a loaf of homemade bread for us upon checkin. It was wonderful.

Perfect location to explore all of Asheville area!

I recently visited Asheville with my teenagers and Nana's Cottage was the perfect location. We were 5 minutes from downtown Asheville, 20 minutes from the Biltmore, and had easy access to all sorts of outdoor activities. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you for a fantastic trip!

Fantastic!

My wife and I took a weekend trip to Asheville and were needing a pet friendly place to stay so we could bring our dog. The house was spacious, very clean, and the backyard was bigger than we were expecting. We loved it and so did our dog! The house was 10 minutes to Asheville's main downtown area and even closer to the downtown area of West Asheville. We will definitely try to stay here again the next time we visit Asheville.

The freshly baked loaf of bread that was waiting for us when we arrived was a sweet and thoughtful touch. The yard and house were also perfect, and well-equipped, for our dog.

Super Clean !!!

This house was perfect for my week long stay with my husband and dog. I've stayed at numerous VRBOs in Asheville and this is by far the cleanest. The appliances are nice, heat worked great and everything was comfortable. I have no complaints. I really appreciated the communication with the owners who live in the area (and the yummy homemade bread) and are available if you need anything. The house is close to the river district greenway which has a nice path to walk the dog and a dog park.

Nana's

Unfortunately, the cottage has pet odor and a musty smell - it hits you when you walk into the home. Not having a pet of my own, I smelled animal(s) opening the door. There was dog hair on the bed and on the couch, additionally, the back porch although a wonderful space, was unclean. I would clean a little more thoroughly, I would recommend power washing the back deck, and the back of the home. For the sum of money we paid per night, one would think that within the "cleaning fee" it would include some light dishes --- I don't expect to have to do my dishes and put them away before leaving.

Honest Observations

Although the inside of the home was as accurate as the pictures show, the outside and surrounding area was a different story, and I want others to be aware of a few things going on. We had originally booked our stay for 6 nights and wound up leaving after 2. Pros: There were zero issues with the inside of the home. It was clean and comfortable. The fenced in yard was perfect for two dogs. Check in was a breeze. Owner brought over a fresh baked loaf of bread which was delicious and very sweet of him. Cons: The street is SUPER busy, cars racing up and down at all hours. Apparently there is a school up the end of the road so there were a lot of busses going by. Absolutely not a place to walk your dog. The "neighborhood" itself is an extremely run down area of town. Our major complaint was the neighbors across the street. People/cars in and out all day and night, loud and hanging out on the front porch til late at night. Cars parked where we were supposed to be parking. When the owner brought the bread over, we did mention about the situation across the street and he remarked that they were having a wedding that weekend (this was a Friday), so there were extra people around. But the worst part of all of this was that they have three or four HUGE dogs that barked non-stop (which got our dogs barking non-stop), day and night, as the front yard is fenced and that's where the dogs are let out. These dogs ran and lunged up the fence whenever we left the home to go to our car, and especially when we took our own dogs out the front door to walk them to the car. I literally thought they would jump the fence. We started bringing them to the car through the back gate. Also, very early one morning while letting the dogs out, we noticed that the building next door seemed to be some sort of company where workers gathered early in the morning to start their jobs. All of this made for a stressful situation just being at the home, which is no way to spend a vacation. Because of that, we decided that it would be best to leave, as we were not at all relaxed. There were no issues with the owner. Of course a home is going to be listed on here with all the positives highlighted, but I just want people to also know the negatives of the surrounding area.

Great location for pets

The home was easy to find and conveniently located near Asheville’s main attractions. The house is updated with comfortable furniture, newer appliances and a renovated bathroom. The fenced yard is great for dogs with no gaps for small ones to get out.
