We spent 2 weeks exploring Asheville and the beautiful mountains. The house was situated in a quiet neighbourhood, and there was easy access to the city, highways, restaurants, and hikes. We enjoyed the home's interior which was nicely decorated. All the rooms had thoughtful touches which made staying there a pleasure. We plan to return again soon.

Le Canard is a beautiful cozy home, amazing quiet yard setting, with an interior that makes you feel at home and that includes everything you might possibly want/need. You think about it, they have supplied it! And the house is immaculate, very clean. Very pet friendly, but you can't tell if pets have been there before. The hosts are the kindest, most thoughtful people I have ever met (but I never met them). The location is VERY quiet and SO close to Asheville; you're 8 miles away from the action, but out of the business. Seriously, if you are looking to stay in the Asheville area, without a doubt, this is where you want to be! Loved it! FIVE PLUS stars!!

Our stay at Le Canard was absolutely perfect. The home was beautiful and cozy, you felt very comfortable and at home as soon as you entered. The host has supplied anything you might need or think you need. The home has a beautiful private yard in a very quiet neighborhood, and is only 8 miles from "all the action" in Asheville. This is definitely the place to stay if you are visiting the area!
Very thoughtful host who anticipates all your needs. The pictures do not do the place justice, it very well decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped.

We came down for a few days to ride bikes and enjoy everything Asheville has to offer. This beautifully appointed cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Would come back!
