Excellent location for a weekend visit to Christ School. The house is close to school and very comfortable and clean and well appointed. The owner was very helpful and responded quickly to all of our questions.

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.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this charming home. The place is thoroughly equipped for utility and comfort. Close to the city and other locations and at the same time is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Loved it!

Le Canard was a beautiful setting for our stay near Asheville. It was within 15 minutes of downtown and a short distance to local grocery and eateries.
The house was decorated in French Country decor and furniture was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the porch and backyard fire pit area. Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for two couples. The owner was very responsive to our requests, would definitely stay here again.
