This place was exactly as advertised. So nice! The fire was warm and cozy, beds were comfy, it came with everything we needed, and the manager was easy to contact. I would recommend to anyone.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mr. B's Cottage. The house was originally built in 1932, so there is an old feel to the property. Current owners have added thoughtful updates that respect the home's history, while providing modern conveniences. The beds were most comfortable! The Nest thermostat and gas fireplace kept the cottage cozy. A convection oven in the modern kitchen really sped up preparing meals. A highlight of the cottage is having a separate sitting area from the living room. Mr. B's cottage is sure to keep movie and book lovers both happy! My one recommendation to the owners would be to consider putting blinds/curtains on the kitchen windows that face the road. With early winter sunsets, that would provide just a bit more privacy. Overall, this property is a 100%. Definitely recommend!

For this pair of New Mexicans, our stay in Mr. B’s Cottage at the height of the North Carolina Fall foliage was magical. Hikes, Blue Ridge Pkwy, and exploring the area during the day then coming back to this well appointed, very comfortable cottage made for a very memorable trip. We loved all the outdoor spaces for enjoying sunsets and watching birds.

Cottage was so clean and perfect for our little getaway. It had great vibes, was quiet, charming and quaint. Had my grandparents lived to be old, I could imagine visiting them in just such a place. Cozy on a chilly October night!

If you like old homes with creaky wood floors then this is a place for you. My husband and I plan on staying here again. The owners are so very nice, we had 2 minor issues and they were very quick in response. Perfect location for us, 10 mins to Asheville, 10 mins to Black Mountain, which we loved. Great hiking areas and not to far for apple picking. Little side note...the owners grow very tasty sweet corn!

I booked this last minute for my senior mom and I. It was easy to access without any steps and that was important. We lucked out because this house was adorable and we loved it. The porch was wonderful and view of the sunflower field across the street was even better. I would come back and book this with a few friends or family. There was plenty of seating, the kitchen was great and the bedrooms were all comfortable. Plus it was super close to Asheville. I loved there for years and didn’t want to be in town but a little out with easy access and a cute view. Mission accomplished.

Great spot just outside of town. Excellent beds. Plenty of space for the 4 of us. Sunsets from the front patio were amazing.

This house was perfect for our family. So clean and comfortable and included all the amenities we needed throughout our stay. We loved relaxing on the porch and taking in the view, and downtown Asheville was only a short drive away. We very much enjoyed our stay!

This stone cottage was everything and more. My only regret is that we had to leave.😢 Everything about this place is about relaxation and comfort. Beds were plush, lots of games, books and entertainment. Kitchen is stocked and the appliances are in great shape. Read the wonderful history of this place and sit and relax on the beautiful front porch. This should be 10 stars.

Our family of 4 stayed in the cotrage for a few days we loved every minute of our stay! The cottage was warm and inviting. The grounds are meticulously kept and the home is spotless. As country dwellers, we were thrilled that the cottage has a country vibe and was somewhat secluded. Quiet, peaceful and safe. We had a very friendly turkey who visited daily- perfect for our nature loving teens. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

My best friend of over 35 years and myself meet once a month to spend time together for a long weekend. We have been doing this each month for 30 years. We truly enjoyed the cottage! It is pristine and has so much character. We will most certainly be staying again as it is the perfect location. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

We cannot even begin to say enough about Mr. B’s Cottage!!! The stay was so very perfect for our family of three, but it could have facilitated so many more people as well. My husband and I talked about coming to the cottage with another family…or two. The amenities were just right for our stay…plenty of blankets, coffee maker/Keurig, ice maker, washer/dryer, fire pit/place outside, etc. Streaming via the TV was good for us and for our son who loves Disney and such. I am a runner, and I went for three long runs on the country roads. The roads are a bit windy, so runners need to be aware of the cars and such (just to be safe). The king-sized bed was amazing and bigger than our bed at home. Everything was up to date and new with a vintage cabin feel. The neighbors were so friendly and chatted with us about wild turkeys, a mama bear and possums. A short drive to Asheville and all of the things the city has to offer: hiking, shopping, sight-seeing, etc. Side note- I left some jewelry behind, immediately messaged the host (Erin) and she promptly returned the items to me via mail in a cute little package! So amazing! The history of Mr. B was super cute and my son enjoyed! We have stayed at many VRBOs as a family and this (by-far)) is our most favorite bc of the cottage, the city and the HOSTS!

Loved the history shared in the welcome binder about Mr. B's place. Lovely home, plenty of room for five of us to stay. Enjoyed the porch in the afternoon and evening, taking advantage of the beautiful weather and peaceful atmosphere.

Beautiful and incredibly charming!!! Host was great and good communication. We had a wonderful stay. It was plenty of room for my family of four. A peaceful and gorgeous property with lots special touches. We would most definitely stay here again! The kitchen was nice and even had a tea kettle. There was a charming sitting room as well as a full living room. The kids room had a great bunk bed/trundle bed option (my daughter loved that!). We were so appreciative of the binder of suggestions and information. We got our dinner at the wonderful salad bar and deli area of Ingles, which was a quick drive. We brought it back to the cottage and ate in the kitchen area. I goes was a great option and so close. We’d love come back and stay longer next time!

We stayed here for a long weekend while attending a wedding at the nearby Hidden River Events (only a mile away). The cottage is SO stinking cute, and all the right parts have been updated while maintaining the original charm. It was bigger than we’d imagined with two separate sitting areas, both with TVs. We were charmed to see plenty of bunnies and a Turkey in the pasture across the road. Check-in and out were easy, and the beds were comfy. We were nervous about being able to rely on ride shares, and while you may have to plan ahead and wait a bit for a pickup, we found that drivers were available even late at night. Our favorite part was sitting on the porch at night with the lovely string lights and singing frogs!

The house was wonderful. It truly felt like we were home which I loved. We had no problems that can up but they did provide us with a whole bunch of information should we have issues. It was located in a quiet area and it was not that far from the interstate which was wonderful because it allowed us move easier when we came and went. I would recommend them and even stay here again.

Mr. B's cottage was one of our favorite places we've stayed in throughout our many journeys. The little touches were perfectly placed and felt right at home. The beds were super comfortable, my family had the best sleep! We enjoyed sipping coffee on the porch watching the wild turkey and snow come in. I highly recommend!

Waking up and sitting on the front porch drinking my morning coffee is probably my favorite part of our vacation. The views here are amazing. The house has a ton of character. Sure its close to all the tourist stuff in Asheville, but Mr B's cottage made our trip pretty special. We will be back to stay here again for sure.

The stay at Mr. B’s was by far the best house my family has stayed at! The house was very clean and had a nice homey feel - there were even the cutest Christmas decorations up. They had thought of all the little things we would need in the house and more! I can’t recommend this place enough - if we are ever on the area again we would love to go back!

This was our 2nd time staying at Mr. B's cute cottage. Booking and check-in/out were easy and the home was accurately described as online. Enjoyed the cottage aesthetics and the cleanliness of the home. My daughter loved the colorful books and child-friendly bedroom to relax and play in. The kitchen was properly stocked and easy to clean. It was conveniently located close to town and simple to find. My suggestion would be to add curtains/blinds to the kitchen area and a portable heater for the bathroom but overall we thoroughly loved our visit. Would highly recommend it again!!

The house was great! Very clean and comfortable and an easy drive to downtown Asheville, as well as many of the hiking trails, breweries and wineries. We saw wild turkeys walking across the lawn one morning! My only suggestion would be to add a full size ironing board in the house. Loved the house and would definitely stay there again in the future.

It is a great place to stay for a quick weekend trip to the mountains. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset and sunrise over the mountains.

Wonderful stay. Relaxing time for my wife. We are older and the bath tub was hard to use. We bought a mat for the tub. It helped but would be nice to have a grab bar.

So nice to be at Mr. B’s cottage! The views, the bed, the location is perfect! Erin is quick and responsive. So glad I was able to spend time there again!

Mr. B's Cottage is amazing. Every appointment is of the best quality. Our friends live one street over so this is the closest rental available to them and it worked out great. Being 70+, we did find the foam mattress a bit weird, but that is what old age does to a person. We highly recommend this rental to all.

This is a great place to stay to be near Asheville, but still have your space. The cleanliness was immaculate, and that also comes from my wife who is neat freak. I almost knocked down the accuracy of the description, but it'd be for a positive reason. The laundry room has can be curtained off and be used as den with two huge Lazy Boy style reclining chairs. Good AC and spectacular views out the front door. If there was any negative, it's the water pressure was a little weak in the shower. Otherwise, 99.9/100 for me. Would recommend staying through Erin!

The cottage was just perfect in a beautiful setting, so cozy and comfortable especially the master bed. Erin was an amazing host and responded very quickly to all communications. We loved our stay at Mr. B's cottage.
