About this property

Walk To Downtown Asheville, Pet Friendly, Fenced-In Yard

This charming 1910 cottage in Asheville's historic Montford neighborhood was completely renovated and won the prestigious Griffin Award for historic preservation. The cottage retains its historic charm with original fireplace, doors, and woodwork. The kitchen has all the modern appliances you'd expect. In summer, enjoy A/C and fenced backyard with patio. In winter, enjoy the cozy fireplace.

Location is one of our cottage's greatest assets. Leave your car at the cottage and explore Asheville's vibrant downtown. We are within a 10-minute walk to the heart of downtown Asheville's many locally owned restaurants. Walk to the Friday night drum circle, downtown after-five concerts, the library, or have glass of wine at Sante Wine Bar in the Arcade.

Fully furnished, including all utilities, wi-fi, extended cable TV, internet, and laundry.

The cottage sits at the end of a quiet street. Walk, bike, or jog through the beautiful and historic Montford neighborhood. The Greenway is only blocks away.

Enjoy an evening sitting on the front porch, reading in front of the fireplace, or grilling on the patio in the fenced-in backyard. The cozy cottage is 865 sq ft and has all the amenities you'd expect. The master bedroom has flat-screened tv with large closet and guest bedroom has queen bed, small walk-in closet and office set up with printer/scanner. The LR has flat screen TV with extended hi def package. The kitchen has a gas stove, D/W, microwave, coffee maker, and just about everything you would need for gourmet dinners.

The cottage is in a perfect location to explore downtown Asheville, dozens of great independent restaurants, many art galleries, and nearby River Arts district. We have been named Beer City for several years because of the notable craft breweries, some within walking distance.

Owners can provide you with information on running or walking trails in the neighborhood and the surrounding mountains.

In the cottage, there's an extensive information booklet containing a list of our favorite downtown restaurants, and the many great tourist attractions, many within walking distance or a short drive.

Need to work? The second bedroom is set up with wireless internet, printer, work desk and lounge chair.

The fenced backyard has a small patio with gas grill.

Please call with any questions about the area or for open dates! Going on three years, the cottage has booked quickly for the entire year, so it's best to inquire EARLY.

Wonderful cottage close to everything
This charming cottage in Asheville’s historic Montford neighborhood is simply delightful! Spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated and well-appointed with everything one needs for an extended stay. It is convenient to everything in Asheville and small-dog friendly. Cozy and comfortable with gracious owners who communicate what you need to know before your arrival. A perfect place to stay - we look forward to coming back!

Possibly the best location close to downtown
We really enjoyed our stay at Vicki's place. For starters, the neighborhood is wonderful, just far enough away from the main roads for peace and quiet, but only a 10-15 minute walk from almost everywhere downtown. The neighbors are also warm and friendly and actually seemed to go out of their way to welcome us, which is rare for a vacation rental. The house itself was the perfect size for my wife and I, plus our 2 dogs. The A/C worked exceptionally well, and the house was fully stocked with everything we could need and more. Vicki was a great host - excellent communication and very responsive. We will definitely visit again if we don't end up moving to the neighborhood permanently!

Cheerful, comfortable house in great location
We loved staying in this charming house with its roomy, well-equipped kitchen overlooking the fenced-in backyard patio and garden. Although small, the house easily accommodated 2 adult family members who joined us for a few nights during our stay. Vicki is a responsive, helpful host.

Fantastic Stay
The cottage was lovely - full of light and well laid out. We had everything we needed for a month. Cooking was a joy with the great pans, sharp knives, and ample dishware. Super convenient location. Would definitely return!

Cozy cottage in a great location
Communication with Vicki was wonderful and the check-in/check-out process was easy and seamless. The property is very close to downtown which was great for our stay, and also is in close proximity to Montford restaurants like All Day Darling and NineMile. Highly recommend if you’re looking to travel to Asheville!

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Joiner

Host profile image
We have wanted to live in Asheville since our youth because of its natural beauty and find it to be a cultual mecca. We feel so fortunate to finally have the opportunity to be here.

Why they chose this property

Montford is such a lovely, safe and convenient neighborhood. This historic home has so much charm and the walkability throughout the neighborhood and downtown is unbeatable. Within 10 minute walk: Grove Arcade, St. Stephen's Basillica--national landmark, Friday night drum circle in Prichard Park, downtown art studios, River Arts District, and dozens of art-deco downtown buildings. Asheville's cozy downtown--with many cafes and restaurants--has been called 'The Paris of the South.' The Montford Historic District is rated one of North Carolina's top historic district by This Old House magazine! Within a two-mile drive you'll arrive at Biltmore Estate and the Blue Ridge Parkway with dozens of great hiking trails and nature's beauty.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is clean, comfortable, and set up for a pleasant stay. Our guests have enjoyed the short walk to downtown. Most leave their car at the cottage and walk to dozens of local cafes and restaurants. The fenced backyard and patio offer privacy for reading or outdoor cooking. Montford is a beautiful, safe neighborhood to walk, bike, or run. Nearby are the Greenway, parks, tennis courts, and Montford Recreation Center. The Asheville Chamber of Commerce is three blocks away; here you can find lots of local information, including the Trolley Tour for Asheville. Judy, a recent guest for two months, told us, 'Why would I want to stay anywhere else in Asheville.' She just relocated to Montford.
