About this property

Historic Private Cottage in the Heart of Downtown on Charming Church Street

We want to express our heartfelt thanks and well wishes from past and future guests in regards to Tropical Storm Helene’s disastrous impact on our region. Fortunately, restaurants, shops and venues in Asheville have reopened and locals and visitors are again frequenting downtown.

Our stand alone cottage (not a townhouse, condo, loft or apartment!) is located in the heart of downtown. Whether you have a group of friends or just your family, this is the private downtown home that offers everything you need to build wonderful memories. Most restaurants, shops, galleries, theaters and museums are within a short walking distance.

We offer a rare bonus for downtown with plenty of paved parking for you & your entourage behind our home. We can accommodates up to 4 cars in the rear of the cottage.

This 120 year old historical cottage has been completely restored in 2005 and partially remodeled in 2023 (large custom-tiled Master Bath walk-in-shower, custom tiled shower in second bathroom, new roof) and repainted in 2024. It is equipped with all the amenities of modern living yet keeping the authentic ambience of yesteryear. The heart of pine wooden floors, stair railings and pocket doors are original to the house and have been beautifully refinished.

The kitchen is fully functional if you prefer to eat in and relax in the warmth of the adjoining dining room. The living room offers a relaxing environment for reading, movies, games or just visiting with your friends and family. The house has two Smart TV's, each with a DVD player. We have a subscription for SLING (Live TV, 40 plus channels). Guests can use their own log ins for other Streaming apps.

We are only a short 7 minute drive to the Biltmore Estate and many other highly sought after local attractions. The Biltmore Estate, built by George Vanderbilt, is the largest privately owned home in America. The Estate is world famous for replanting their splendid gardens each season. They own one of the most amazing private art collections in the world, their winery and culinary tantalizing restaurants are highly acclaimed. If visiting Asheville in December a visit to the 'Christmas at Biltmore Estate' is a must to experience. The Grove Park Inn has an amazing 'One of a Kind Nationwide Gingerbread Exhibition & Competition' held every December and the Grove Park's enormous double stone fireplaces are to be enjoyed with a steaming cup of hot chocolate. (I promise it is an unforgettable experience!!) We have made both of these events our annual Christmas traditions since discovering Asheville in 2003. The Grove Park Inn has one of the finest spas in the world and is an astonishing stone structure built at the turn of the century.
We are within walking distance to the newly redesigned Pack Square Plaza that enjoys outdoor concerts and festivals throughout the seasons. Downtown is full of wonderful diverse restaurants, unique boutique shopping, award winning art galleries, quaint grocery stores, museums, theaters, architecturally delightful buildings, and interesting art sculptures. All of this and much more are just minutes from our lovely cottage enjoyed by foot.

Hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, rafting, winter skiing, snow boarding and motoring the Blue Ridge Parkway at any season is a delight. Explore and enjoy Asheville to fully experience why it is rated one of top tourist destinations. We look forward to seeing you soon.

About the host

Hosted by Terri & Carl

Host profile image
We love Asheville & have been visiting for over 23 years! Eventually, we decided to purchase a home away from home which we lovingly restored and furnished. We are delighted to share this beautiful and historic cottage with others interested in the beauty and splendor of the mountains and the vibrant lifestyle of downtown Asheville.

Why they chose this property

Love Asheville & love the downtown! We consider Asheville our 2nd home and visit as often as possible. We love the beauty and climate of the mountains and enjoy the eclectic and vibrant lifestyle that is Asheville.

What makes this property unique

We are the only licensed 'Whole House' (stand alone house, not an apartment) rental in Downtown Historic Asheville! The Cozy Cottage is literally right in the heart of it all! You are staying 'downtown' in the middle of all the excitement, yet just a couple blocks off Pack Square, the heart of downtown, on a charming, well manicured one-way street. You get to experience everything that Asheville has to offer, then retire to the comforts of your relaxing & welcoming cottage. Most other rentals are either "in the vicinity" of downtown and will require driving and searching for a rare parking space or are located in a building complex and offered as an apartment or condo. Our charming cottage is all to yourselves and offers plenty of free parking in the rear of the house.

Our cottage has a large shaded front porch and a large back porch, an advantage that most hotels and apartments can not offer.
