Marilyn and Del were very quick to respond to any questions we had, and by far the nicest hosts we have ever had the pleasure to meet. Plenty of parking, a large fenced-in back yard with a nice deck area and just a lovely house overall. Be sure to ask Del about the pictures. We were here for medical treatment but spent most of our time hiking. It's an easy drive to Pisgah, Bent Creek, the Blueridge Parkway, Biltmore, and so many other wonderful places.

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!

Perfect little house for me and my pup while visiting friends. While not in a walkable neighborhood it's still just a few minutes drive to Haywood Street and downtown. We both loved the huge fenced yard and porch. Wifi was fast and was able to get some work done without issies. Very Clean. Was greeted with banana bread by our host upon arrival! Would stay again

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.

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.

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.
