About this property

Cozy cottage minutes from downtown Asheville with a countryside feel

Come relax in this cozy cottage in the historic Chunns Cove community, conveniently located only 3 miles from downtown Asheville. The perfect size for an individual or couple, this retreat offers a uniquely decorated and well appointed interior, with the feel of an English country cottage on the exterior. Queen size bed with plush bedding, comfy chaise lounge in the sunny reading nook, and kitchenette that doubles as flex work space with bar stools.

Please read before booking!
The bathroom has a shower and toilet, however the only sink is located in the kitchen. Also being as this space was built when folks were a bit smaller, please note the shower measures 77” high (6ft 5”) but the shower threshold measures just 65” (5ft 5”) high, so some folks will need to duck under to enter! See bathroom section for more details.

There are 2 Adirondack chairs in the yard with a fire pit for your enjoyment. Please supply your own wood and make sure fires are completely extinguished.

The driveway is paved and is a shared circular parking area. Some guests with large trucks or SUVs have noted it can be difficult to maneuver, so just keep that in mind if you drive a larger vehicle. Mid size SUVs do not seem to have issues (host drives a Trailblazer and have no problems).

Everything was wonderful! My partner and I had the best most relaxing trip ever and we were so sad to leave. The space was so cozy and clean and we enjoyed the fire pit. I do wish there was a hot plate to cook on, but other than that it was perfect!

Great property, great stay

We loved our time here. It was the perfect location for folks not wanting to stay directly downtown. It felt private, comfortable, and had all the amenities we could have wanted. The binder gave us everything we needed to know. Absolutely a gem.

Weekend Mountain Get Away

We had a great weekend at this beautiful little cottage house. Initially we found the hot water heater was broken and the property manager had someone out to install a new heater that day so we could take a shower. They were super helpful and I would stay here again.

Great Location

Very nice little cottage, with great decor, and very clean. The location was perfect, sets far off the road with no traffic noise yet only a 10min or less drive to the heart of downtown. As the description says the bathroom can be a challenge for big/tall people, I'm 5'9 and the toilet barely worked for me, if you're 6'+ you will literally have to sit sideways. And the driveway would definitely be a problem for large vehicles. Overall, we would definitely stay there again.

Perfect cottage for a getaway

My wife and I booked this cottage for a week-long honeymoon in Asheville. The hosts were very gracious and friendly they also were very good about parking in a way to allow exit from the property as the drive way is a little tight in a couple spots at least for a medium sized vehicle, small cars should have no issues. The cottage itself is really cozy ofcourse people could have issues with bathroom space but we didn't, many of these issues are clearly stated in the description, however really didn't affect us. For us it was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Austin Lechner

Host profile image
Hi! We are Austin and Sarah, your hosts. We are partners in both business and life, together operating Altitude Real Estate Group, a brokerage based in Asheville NC and serving all of WNC! Austin grew up right here in Asheville, and Sarah has been here since 2011. We are an adventurous couple, enjoying travel, scuba diving, working on projects together, hanging out with our cat, and going to the movies as much as possible. Austin has been a host for a few years with his own property in Asheville, and we are excited to get started hosting together! Welcome to Asheville!

Why they chose this property

We love the Iron & Ivy cottage because it gives visitors the best of both worlds. You're in the country side, yet only minutes from downtown and all the incredible food, music, and shopping it offers. Chunns Cove, the location of the cottage, is a very unique part of Asheville. It has a lot of history, and you can feel it as you drive past the horse pastures and homes with true character.

What makes this property unique

The owners of the cottage have decorated it in a unique way that mixes a sort of "steam punk" feel with old world luxury. You'll notice old iron gears on the mantle, a light fixure made of an old torpedo, and a collection of old shell casings and bank notes within the glass table in the corner!
