About this property
Woodland Retreat - 15 min to DT Asheville
We were fortunate that Hurricane Helene spared our property from major damage, but many of our neighbors experienced hardships. In response, we’re donating 100% of our profits to local organizations focused on providing basic necessities and cleanup in the Greater Asheville area. Thank you for joining us in helping our beautiful community recover.
Escape the hustle of life and join us at Spring Banks Cottage, a serene woodland retreat nestled among 9 acres of forested land.
The Spring Banks Cottage is situated next to a tranquil stream that you can hear from the cozy screened in porch. The other 8+ acres are surrounded by the Newfound creek, perfect for a quick morning jaunt to properly kick off your day.
This charming cottage offers a peaceful getaway just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville and 20 minutes to the quaint town of Weaverville. When staying at the cottage, you will have the convenience of exploring the nearby city, hiking the neighboring mountains, playing on the French Broad River, or opting to stay in and enjoy the leisurely rhythm of the property and its surroundings.
It’s the perfect spot for those looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of mountain living while still enjoying convenient access to the city's vibrant attractions. With its secluded location and picturesque surroundings, Spring Banks Cottage promises a rejuvenating escape for nature lovers and city dwellers alike.
The Space
Welcome to our serene cottage nestled on 9 acres of lush wooded land. Step outside to find a peaceful stream right behind the cottage, perfect for morning strolls, while the rest of the property is bordered by a creek awaiting exploration. Inside, you'll discover three fully furnished bedrooms, each boasting a luxurious king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom. Relax in the spacious living room with a large TV, or unwind on the screened-in porch while soaking in the picturesque views and soothing sounds of nature. Additional amenities include three charming porches, onsite laundry facilities, a fully equipped kitchen, and so much more, ensuring a comfortable and unforgettable stay for our guests.
