About this property

Come pet the farm animals and enjoy mountain views

The Cottage of Color awaits you in a tranquil setting on a 40 acre farm where you can rest, relax and enjoy the majestic beauty of the mountains just outside the front door. Also tour Asheville, Biltmore Estate, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, and experience all the activities and scenery Western North Carolina has to offer. Cook lunch in the newly renovated kitchen, swing in the hammock on the back porch, watch the fireflies light up the pastures, or simply enjoy the wifi and cable included in your stay.
Pamper yourself in the privacy of this fully furnished 2 bedroom, 1 bath cottage with one level living space of 1000 sq. foot. Top of the line king and queen beds await you wrapped in fine linens. Feel free to throw something on the BBQ grill, take advantage of your fully equipped kitchen for those home cooked meals or take a 10 minute drive to the area's many restaurants. Your kitchen includes a refrigerator with ice maker, electric cook-top with oven, dishwasher, microwave, Keurig coffee pot, toaster, blender and all the cooking utensils you will need to complete your meals.
When the weather gets a chill, feel free to turn on the gas fireplace and warm your feet. Bring those bikes and ride the adjacent road for peaceful easy riding. The kids will enjoy the large yard, and possibly the chance to pet the resident goats and cows. Come out early in the morning, or late in the evening, and grab a chance to bottle feed one of the many farm animals being raised next door. Feel free to have us be your one stop shop. We can have your fridge full of all you require for your trip upon arrival. Should you need a babysitter, we have licensed sitters available for hire through a local nanny exchange. Maybe it's a special occasion--We are here to make it memorable. No request is too large or small. We look forward to being your cottage to visit, and make memories for years to come.

About the host

Hosted by April Fore

Host profile image
We are a local couple born and raised here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We attended the local high school located just a few miles from the property. We own a thriving local business that has been providing jobs locally for over 12 years. We believe in our community, and make many efforts to make sure our children will enjoy this area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

In the past, we were homeowners in a subdivided neighborhood. Our dream was to raise our children where they could run and play without the confines of fences, or traffic. We fell upon the farm by happenstance, and fell in love. We purchased the farm with 2 homes on it, and felt one make us a comfortable place to raise our children, and the other could provide lots of memories for those who come to enjoy what we call home everyday.

What makes this property unique

This home was the original farm house to the homestead. When we walked through, we knew we could bring back the charm that so many others had enjoyed over the years. We tried to re-use and recycle many of the original building components from 1939, when the house was first built. The rough saw hewn floors are original, and were restored after nearly 40 years under layers of old flooring. The original clapboard siding was restored after removing the current siding. We tried to keep as much character in the old homestead, while offering lots of new touches, such as granite, stainless steel appliances, and a walk in stone floor shower.
