Everything about this location was exactly as described, pictured, and promised. I can't say enough to describe how pleased I was with this Cottage. We went to the Biltmore, Mount Mitchell, an Asheville ghost tour, hiked to lookout mountain, and hiked to Catawba Falls. The falls hike was easy. Lookout mountain was medium to difficult, harder than I had expected. If you are wanting to see the nice overlook, don't give up but go all the way to the top. If you're coming from the backside which is less strenuous) don't go past the second peak. The view from The Overlook was spectacular. Again, kudos for the cottage and the host!!
