The Red Hen Cottage-Asheville-with Hot Tub and EV charger!

It was perfect! The property was super close to downtown Asheville and still secluded.

The place was clean and in a prime location, close to everything. The host was very nice and great at communicating. The BBQ joint next to it was a nice plus!

The cottage is very sweet. Spacious enough for a family weekend getaway. The location is right behind the brewery, with a crowd and live music, but inside the house was still quiet. We had some issues on our first night. The outdoor lights were not working so we were unable to use the hot tub our first night, which was disappointing. The most off-putting issue we had was the dishes... numerous glasses, plates, and silverware were literally filthy. Clearly used and not washed, just put back in the cabinets. We arrived at the cottage after a day of driving and exploring and struggled to find clean dishes...big big yuck. At 5:45 am our first morning there the CO2/smoke detector woke up our entire family blaring unbelievably loudly for about 20 minutes because it hadn't been changed in 2.5 years. This is the kind of thing that rental properties need to keep track of. It was nearly impossible to turn the detector off, so we ended up placing it inside the washing machine just so we could get some sleep. The host was unresponsive over the vrbo app (frustrating), but was responsive via the phone number provided. On our second day the host came by to fix the lights and the ice maker (which also wasn't working when we arrived) while we were out, which made the second evening better, as we were able to enjoy the hot tub and outdoor space after dark. It's a good location, but don't expect perfection.

We cleaned the bathroom floor due to dust and spiderwebs in 3 corners. Had to brush off fuse box and bench on porch with broom due to cobwebs and bugs. House smelled musty and moldy. Couldn't turn on tv? Maybe batteries dead in remote? Windows covered in cobwebs and bugs on exterior and blinds broken with no way to open and close them without running hands up and down and then again dust! I will say beds were comfortable! I have never written a negative review and prob won't stay here again when in Asheville area.
