Disappointed
Kitchen good, bed comfortable, clean. Temperature 67 and adjusted by owner (who did raise some on request). Strong smell of dog on arrival. No view of mountains, not a great neighborhood.. Do not recommend for special get away.

Critter Hill Perfection
This is an immaculate studio over the garage. It is well stocked with all the essentials plus some! I never met the owners, but we were in communication via texts and they were very responsive. A beautiful fenced backyard for your critter.

Great place to stay for Asheville visit
Laurie and Mike are great hosts - the apartment was clean and well-stocked, and the property itself is quiet while still being convenient to downtown Asheville. Check-in and check-out were simple and easy, and I had no issues of note during my stay. I would gladly stay again next time I come to the area!

Asheville Meet Up
Came to Asheville from Illinois to meet up with my daughter/SIL who were traveling from Texas to Maryland. We both had our pups and really appreciated the backyard for free roaming time. We cooked in and found all the utensils we needed. We went out hiking and enjoyed coming back to a cozy spot for movies. Overall, a great place to hang out.

We had a 2 night stay in NC for a lacrosse tourney. This was the perfect place. The location made it easy for us to pick up food quickly when needed and it was easy to navigate to the places we needed to go to. We would definitely recommend to family and friends!

Nice property close to town. Not recommended if you can't handle stairs, though. Otherwise, peaceful & very clean. Paved driveway was great. Comfy bed & larger than it looks in the pictures. Thanks!

Secluded yet close to Asheville
This was a great location, and we were able to bring our dog! We didn’t want to be right in town, but we wanted to be able to get to Asheville quickly. This was perfect! The fenced in yard area was great. The hosts were very helpful and responsive to everything we needed. They even had a dog crate that was big enough for our 60 lb dog. They have compiled an information book on the area that is full of great suggestions. We would definitely stay again.

17th Anniversary
My husband and I were looking to get away for some rest and relaxation and we were able to get both on this stay. The owners were very nice and accomidating and the unit was clean and cozy. The Biltmore was an easy 20 minute ride and shopping and dining were easily accessible.

Dog friendly studio
We had a great visit at critter hill. The studio was clean and well designed. The owners provided all the extras you need when traveling with a dog: bowls, crate, dirty paw towels, etc. There is a nice-sized, fenced in backyard for playtime. The location is just outside west Asheville, so it’s an short drive into town. We would definitely stay there again.
