About Janis Kaye

I am Janis and for many years, prior to my husband’s passing, it was our goal to own and operate a guest cottage in beautiful Asheville, NC. I am fulfilling this dream as he would have wanted. My love of nature and the beauty to be found in Asheville is a constant source of discovery for me and as my eyes are opened to the beauty that surrounds the cottage, it excites me to be able to offer visitors first hand information on the endless sites in store for them. I am here to make your trip a memorable one and to offer everything I can to help you achieve that. “Your Complete Satisfaction is my #1 Goal!”

Janis Kaye purchased this cottage in 2006
Why Janis Kaye chose Asheville

I actually didn’t choose Asheville but rather married into it so to speak. My husband owned a home in Asheville and lived in it for a short time off and on. When we married we moved to Orlando, FL and the house remained unoccupied except for an occasional renter. In 2000 we decided to completely restore the home and after renting it for a few years we decided to sell our home in Orlando and relocate full time to the property in Asheville, a move we never regretted. As luck would have it the home next door to us was for sale and we viewed that as the perfect opportunity to be able to offer a very special “home away from home” for our guests. We bought it and completely refurbished it. Living next door affords me the ability to quickly and efficiently meet all the needs of my guests. My dream has come true so why not come to beautiful Asheville and let me help make your stay one that you will fondly remember.

What makes this cottage unique

It's on a very short dead end street with very few neighbors so no busy road so it has the country feel but is within the city limits and close to everything. Biltmore Village, Estates, Downtown Asheville, Antiquing and other great shopping, Great Restaurants, About 6 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mall just to name a few.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your home away from home. It was so clean and equipped with everything we needed including the Wi-Fi. We loved visiting Asheville and The Biltmore Estate. What a treat it was to have “afternoon tea” in the Library at the Biltmore Inn. The food tour we took downtown was excellent! Thanks for being such a thoughtful host. Maybe we’ll see you again someday. We want to come back to shop again at the Screen Door! Loved that place! Sue
Thank you for your warm and friendly hospitality, Janis! Thank you for showing us the “before” pictures of your home. What an amazing accomplishment for which you should be incredibly proud!! Marcie

My daughter and I had an awesome time here. The cottage was a perfect place to stay and see everything. It had all the comforts of home and much more! It was equipped with everything that you
could possibly need.
Thank you, Janis, for all your help and extra touches in your cottage. It’s so peaceful and beautiful here. Hope to come back in the fall with my husband.

We had the most wonderful time and truly felt like this was our little home away from home. We loved visiting with you and felt like you were FAMILY!! We absolutely love the cottage and we’ll be back for sure!! No hotel can come close to your hospitality and cottage. It’s so peaceful here and close to everything! The location is superb! I especially loved getting up in the morning, opening the front door and letting the sunshine in. I also loved how the sun comes in the kitchen window as I made coffee or poured a glass of wine. We can’t wait to come back and look forward to visiting with you again!

Thank you for refunding out security deposit so quickly!

Janis,

What can we say….we loved Asheville and the house but especially you!!! You made us feel like family. Thanks for all the help in getting us around town. The Biltmore was all you said it would be and we loved it. Thank you for the brownies. They were better than the Biltmore’s! They alone were worth the trip and the best we’d ever had! One of us couldn’t stop at one….had to eat two!!!! Ha! We’ll all miss you lots. Hope to see you again.

Sincerely with Love,

Susie, Rochelle, Gwen and Ivy
