About this property

Asheville Downtown Area Stone & Log Cabin, Fenced & Gated Quarter-Acre, Hot Tub

This magical retreat in a wooded setting has picturesque old world charm reminiscent of an Italian Alpine cottage.

Red Gate Cottage, situated on a knoll in Beaverdam Valley, is a vintage log cabin faced with stone. Semiskilled craftsmen working over decades, using stone and antique brick, produced an effect that makes the cottage resemble an ancient stone house in the Alps. The original log walls inside have been restored and preserved.

The luxury renovation by the Architect/Owner features high pine-faced cathedral ceilings throughout. The river stone fireplace is a focal point where people enjoy gathering to watch TV and movies or to just soak up the relaxing atmosphere. It's a great venue for romantic couples, friends and family groups to celebrate holidays and special occasions.

A hot tub on the stone patio, cradled by massive rock walls, rests under pergola. Beyond, a sunken garden has a fire pit for roasting marshmallows and smores.

From the deck, you can enjoy close mountain views as you dine or sit around a blazing fire in the chiminea. Relax in the hammock, and listen to the sounds of the abundant wild life mingling with those of barnyard animals from nearby farms. Flocks of wild turkeys wander by. Guests recently saw a total of eight black bears (including 4 cubs) during their stay.

Peaceful and quiet, the cottage is within 10 minutes of the center of Asheville. The scenic Beaverdam Valley meanders past the country club golf course en route to the spectacular high mountains of the Blue Ridge Parkway – where you can enjoy hiking, mountain biking and scenic drives. Yet the fantastic restaurants and night life of Asheville are only a few minutes away. The Gove Park Inn is nearby, and the University of NC is just minutes away. Black Mountain is within 30 minutes, and Lake Lure, Chimney Rock Park and Wolf Laurel Ski Resort are all within 45 minutes. Mt. Mitchell, highest mountain in the Eastern U.S., is an hour’s drive up the Blue Ridge Parkway.

At Red Gate Cottage, you can enjoy both town and country, truly the best of both worlds. So bring the children, bring the dog. Here, you can get away from it all (but still stay in touch with high speed wireless internet).

Charmingly rustic

But with sophisticated interior and everything you need for a fantastic get-away. Everything Asheville has to off (and it’s a lot!) is just minutes away but you are in your secluded, cosy stone house. The bedrooms are all charming with plenty of storage. Comfy beds. And watching movies by the fire, or sitting on the deck having breakfast…couldn’t be better

Family Get Away

Wife and I met my sister and her hubby here for a weekend get away. Cabin is charmingly rustic and very comfortable. Location is about a 15 min drive to most destinations. Very convenient to a local grocery store. We were welcomed with some yummy cookies. The cabin is clean and easily sleeps 6 in it's 3 bedrooms. Very quiet, great sleep!

Fabulous!

This is our second tie staying at this house. This house and property are even better in person! It is small but has everything you need. Georgia is a delightful house and has everything ready upon arrival with thoughtful details like leaving the lights on when she knew we would be arriving after dark. The yard is wonderful and the location is great. About 10 min from downtown. We will definitely be back again.

Nice place

Warm and welcoming and clean on the inside. Well stocked and owner gave us lots of good information. I was a little disappointed in the gardens as that was a large part of why we rented this property. It is autumn of course but the patio was filled with dead plants in pots and the yard was uncared for. We would return here but would shoot for spring or summer. Best fireplace in the world!!!

We loved Red Gate Cottage!

We loved Red Gate Cottage! We especially liked the location of this cozy little rustic cabin which is close enough to town, yet is so quiet and relaxing in a safe neighborhood with many trees. We saw 3 wild turkeys and a hawk while walking the dog up and down the residential road. We really enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub and fire pit. The host was very communicative & the cottage was nice and clean. Thank-you for allowing us to stay here with our dog! One thing to mention: Although texting works, outgoing calls won't transmit from AT&T cel phones at this location & the cabin has 'SOS only' service unless on WiFi. However, there is a working wall phone to accommodate. Due to being in the mountains, Asheville has poor cel service overall, so keep this in mind when travelling to Asheville. I highly recommend this cabin!

This cabin was so cute! The photos don't do the property justice. The cabin is on the smaller side but perfectly arranged for lots of fun and time with friends and family. I told the owner the photos don't do it justice and she said she was going to get some other ones done. We loved this property; the gardens, the patio, the fire pit, all just lovely! Easy to find and plenty of parking for a few cars in the driveway. Will definitely stay again!

First visit to Asheville

This was our first time to Asheville. We were in town for a wedding. We were pleased at how close the cottage was to town and to all of the wedding events at the same time feeling like we were in a cabin in the mountains. We enjoyed sitting outside on the porch and admiring the view of the mountains. Our dogs enjoyed their walks around the property.
