Cozy

We really enjoyed our stay here. Customer service was fantastic and responsive. Amenities were wonderful and exactly as described. We hiked to Catawba Falls which was a really quick drive to the trail head and was one of the most gorgeous falls I've seen. The location from Asheville is also not a long drive if you're wanting to go to the Biltmore, Grove Park Inn, or downtown Asheville. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Gathering

My family recently stayed @ 29 Tudor way for a memorial service for my brother. We were very pleased when we arrived. The unit was exceptionally clean, and it provided us with a quiet place to gather as a family and was in close distance to many amenities. It was our first time traveling to North carolina and we enjoyed our stay very much. Staff was always available to answer any questions we had and were very kind and courteous
