Great Stay
Stayed here prior to Helene - I hope everyone is okay and the house is good. Great Hosts - this is a nice spot, easy walking to dinner, shops, short drive to downtown. Super clean, and cute. Had a bottle of wine, coffee, etc. Bed was super comfy - recommend it. And the little porch is super nice. Again, I hope everyone is good, Asheville and the surrounding area is a great place to visit.

Perfect Little Weekend Spot
The cottage was super cute and the perfect setup for a weekend getaway. My husband and I and our three pups had a fantastic and comfortable stay. The side porch and rocking chairs for morning coffee was A++++. Hosts were great with communication and onsite, but completely respectful of privacy.

Peaceful at the peacock!
Staying at this cottage was so nice! We loved the colorful, peaceful retreat that offers everything you need for a wonderful stay. It’s perfect for a weekend or extended stay. This sweet cottage has a wonderful porch perfect for morning coffee, lovely furnishings in a rustic cabin feel yet so close to to places to eat and Asheville’s rich and diverse activities. The hosts are insight and ready to help if needed, with places to eat and things to do, however they respect privacy of their guests. Just a lovely stay, clean and comfortable, and most importantly to us, dog friendly! ♥️ Come stay and enjoy a unique space that is joyful and perfect for a much needed getaway.

Convenient and cute!
Convenient to anything you would want to do in Asheville, but yet you have plenty of privacy. We arrived late at night, and thanks to the host’s clear directions we had no problem locating parking and checking in. The decoration and welcome gift was absolutely delightful. I love all the little touches that made us feel comfortable and at home. Would definitely book again!

Cozy stay with great access to Asheville
Our room included bed, bath, clothes storage, small table and chairs, small refrigerator, perfect for our weekend stay. We were able to walk to several restaurants and downtown Asheville was a quick 5 minute drive. Nice front porch, surrounding area had sidewalks making it very easy to walk our dog.

Perfect Spot!
This is a wonderful property within a couple of miles from most places and restaurants you’re likely to visit. The room is nicely furnished with a comfortable king bed and an updated bathroom. There’s also a porch with rocking chairs that we loved. Our host dropped by to welcome us and gladly provided restaurant recommendations. We’ll stay again when we’re back in Asheville.

The peacock cottage was perfect for our stay in Asheville! Our hosts, Mike and Tom, truly are super hosts and seemed to be happily to provided anything we needed. The property was spotless and provided nice details like a welcome gift and even Tim Horton coffee. The decor is darling and the location was very convenient. We particularly appreciate them welcoming our dog and even providing thoughtful items like dog bowls and lint brushes. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time here! We had our two dogs who we took on walks to nearby coffee shops and parks. The location is very nice, just outside of downtown in a lovely neighborhood. The space is so clean and comfortable. It's like a large hotel suite, but much more charming! Overall, this place was fantastic! I hope we get the chance to stay here again. I would plan trips around the availability of this place!
