A private deck overlooks a dramatic 12-foot waterfall, creating a serene backdrop for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Inside, period details are preserved alongside updated amenities, including hotel-quality linens, luxury bath toiletries, and a 4K Amazon Fire TV loaded with Prime and Netflix. A complimentary bottle of wine greets you on arrival.

Tucked behind the cottage, a secluded garden features a covered swing adds a cozy touch, perfect for unwinding in the cool mountain air.

With a dedicated one-car parking pad and just 14 steps to the entrance, the cottage is both accessible and hidden away. Whether you're seeking a romantic retreat or a peaceful solo escape, this quiet sanctuary delivers comfort, beauty, and an unbeatable location in the heart of Asheville.

Comfortable property, accurate listing and photos. Host was thoughtful and hospitable, with good and timely comms both pre-check-in and during our 3-night stay. Comfy bed, clean and well-equipped unit, conveniently located. It would be extra-pleasant during spring/summer/fall (we were there during a cold snap, so didn’t use the outdoor amenities). Would book again.

Perfect location a short walk up the hill to Grove Park Inn, lots of bears in the neighborhood - even an albino squirrel (see photo). Very quiet place in a serene residential neighborhood, and nicely appointed with shopping amenities and downtown Asheville nearby. It was our 2nd visit. We will be back!
