About this property

This cozy 1940's bright and sunny Cottage served as the Architect owner's home while he designed and built his new home in 2006 on the nearby footprint of a historic home lost to a fire in 1970. Accessed by a narrow quiet alleyway, it is within a 10 min walk through this great neighborhood to our vibrant downtown and UNCA. Also within a mile to the Interstate, YMCA, Grocery stores (Whole foods and Trader Joes) and dozens of restaurants, microbreweries and coffee shops.
Wood floors and windows, under mature trees, and surrounded by lush landscaping in a neighborhood full of lovingly restored homes and B&B's, mature trees, brick sidewalks, stone walls and bordered by a greenway along a creek.
Fully equipped kitchen (DW, utensils, pots/pans, etc.), W/D, 2 queen beds, 2 sets of linens, comforters, desk, satellite TV, wireless internet, and all utilities included. Private 50mb wireless network is shared with my adjacent carriage house.
The Cottage is on one level, includes a fireplace, vaulted ceilings and skylights, a side porch with gas grille, and a nice secluded lawn with chairs.
30 DAY MIN stay, unless you see gaps between reservations in the calendar. Perfect for relocations, or rented along with the adjacent Carriage House ( #139941) with family or friends coming to town for a group vacation. Parking for one car in front of the cottage, with shared additional space in front of the carriage house. The alleyway and driveway are narrow, so larger vehicles will be tight, trucks might need to park nearby.

Very nice experience

Great location, close to everything, grocery stores, downtown, highway. Check-in process was seamless and host was readily available when needed. Quiet neighborhood and walking/jogging trails nearby. The cottage was very comfortable, tastefully furnished, and well provided with everything that’s needed. We enjoyed the early flowering trees right in front of the entrance door.

Quite comfortable and cozy

I was very pleased with my stay. Surrounded by many other homes close together I was happy that it felt secluded because of all the trees and bushes it was nestled in, and quiet, even though life was happening all around. Almost every place you could want to go to was just to walk away. And any place else was just a short ride to get to. There is so much to see in Asheville itself, but the surrounding area is just lovely. I definitely recommend it!

Location, location, location!

We couldn't have asked for a better location! The house was a 15-minute walk to some of the best shops and restaurants in Asheville. The cottage was cozy, comfy and bright (skylights!). The wireless was slow and spotty, but we got by. The cottage driveway is accessed via the alley. The entry drive has a VERY narrow entry, with a low stone wall on either side that was difficult to see because of the shrubs. A bit of a challenge for sure. Thanks again Michael for hosting us :-)
